SUMMARY:A Conversation on AI & Teaching with David Adams
DESCRIPTION:As conversations about Artificial Intelligence rapidly evolve across industries\, one question remains especially urgent: How can AI help support the work of teachers and strengthen our classrooms?   \nTo explore this question\, join the Fund for the City of New York for a special fireside chat with David Adams\, Chief Executive Officer of the Urban Assembly and one of the nation’s most influential leaders in social-emotional learning (SEL) and education innovation. \nAcross the country\, schools are facing unprecedented challenges: rising student needs\, staffing shortages\, limited access to counselors\, and mounting pressure on teachers to do more with less. While AI is often discussed in terms of disruption\, David Adams invites us to consider a different perspective—AI as a strategic tool to increase teacher capacity\, not replace it. \nThis fireside chat will shed light on an emerging space where technology and human-centered teaching intersect—with an emphasis on solving problems through real-world constraints. We invite you to join us for this timely and inspiring conversation on AI & Teaching—and to be part of the growing dialogue about how technology can strengthen our schools.

SUMMARY:Book Club: I Deliver Parcels in Beijing
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, Hu Anyan floated between odd jobs on the outskirts of China’s megalopolises: stocking warehouses\, waiting at hotels\, selling bikes\, delivering packages and more. Then in 2017\, suffering from insomnia after graveyard shifts in a Foshan warehouse\, he began to write seriously. I Deliver Parcels in Beijing\, a profound collection of autobiographical essays on the nature of work\, human endurance and the crush of modernity\, is the result. The memoir follows Hu’s peripatetic life\, chronicling the absurdities\, tragedies and triumphs of a life on the edge. A self-taught “wild” writer\, Hu’s prose is propulsive and readable. With nearly two million copies sold in China\, Parcels\, as CBR columnist Na Zhong put it\, is about “how our minds and bodies are chipped away by numbers” in pursuit of another day’s freedom. Rendered into English by Jack Hargreaves (author of CBR’s translated fiction column)\, Parcels is the latest great work of “amateur literature” (素人文学) to come from China. \nJoin our bimonthly book club for evenings of spirited literary discussion and connection with likeminded readers. China Books Review editors host sessions in New York City (at Asia Society’s café) and Washington\, D.C. (at JF Books). We meet five times a year (Jan\, Mar\, May\, Sep\, Nov) to discuss the latest literature from or on the Sinophone world\, with a focus on translated Chinese fiction — featuring introductory context\, freewheeling discussions and light refreshments\, plus plenty of time for mingling. \nEmail info@chinabooksreview.com to sign-up for our next session! Please include a short bio and your city (NYC or DC\, no remote). You’ll also be added to our invite list for future sessions (no pressure to attend each time; we can take you off the list anytime.)

SUMMARY:YELLOW: An Artistic Space Centering Asian Voices
DESCRIPTION:Come find refuge in a space that celebrates & centers Asians! \n“In the West\, yellow’s unsavory status went back centuries…The color grew to represent envy\, jealousy…duplicity…and cowardice. \nYellow was a contemptible color in the Western imagination\, and it fit snugly with the Western idea of the Oriental human being\, especially as he became a threat first to the American workingman\, then to the chaste American woman\, and finally to Western civilization itself. \n– Excerpts from “Big Little Man” by Alex Tizon \nFor Asians\, yellow represents soil & earth\, life\, resistance\, courage\, rebirth\, revolution\, & unity.We are reclaiming and rewriting all narratives that undermine the richness and complexity of Asian individuals\, cultures\, traditions\, & longing. Join us in amplifying and celebrating Asian heritage with song\, dance\, poetry\, performance\, & discourse. \nFor a peek into the power & creativity of some of our Asian artists\, delight in our gift bags from CommemorASIAN: Shame is Not Ours to Keep (2024) & Yellow CommemorASIAN (2025)! \nThere is no need to sign up to perform. Anyone can perform as long as they are amplifying Asian voices\, artists\, initiatives\, & experiences. A list of Asian artists will be shared for participants to peruse their work and share whatever resonates with them – of course\, you are welcome to add to our list! Each VOICE will have the floor for 5 minutes. \nCreating a safer space for everyone is our priority. We do not tolerate any discrimination\, including but not limited to racism\, sexism\, queerphobia\, islamophobia\, antisemitism\, ableism\, xenophobia\, and sanism. \nWe demand a free Congo\, Nepal\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, Tibet\, Turtle Island\, Ukraine\, Yemen; and freedom for all countries\, peoples\, and species that face colonization\, erasure\, and oppression. If you do not align with our ethos\, then this space is not for you. \nOtherwise\, we’ll see you on the last Sunday of the month (with some exceptions)!

SUMMARY:Webinar: Programming First: How Nonprofits Can Make Smarter Space Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Your organization’s programming should drive your space decisions\, not the other way around. Join Denham Wolf for an expert-led discussion tailored to nonprofit leaders navigating program changes\, space acquisition\, or long-term planning.

SUMMARY:Ran Hwang | Noble Blossoms
DESCRIPTION:In her solo exhibition\, Ran Hwang presents large-scale installations that are both intricate and poetic\, delicate yet dramatic\, as they explore the cyclical patterns of life and the fleeting nature of beauty.  \nHwang creates her art through a meticulous and repetitive process\, utilizing everyday materials such as paper buttons and pins. This requires intense concentration and discipline\, reflecting the meditative state of Zen masters and the spiritual values traditionally sought by scholars of the past. While painstaking and labor intensive\, the process also embodies an aesthetic of transcending difficulty\, ultimately visualizing a serene beauty and noble spirit that defines the artist’s unique perspective. Through her work\, Hwang evokes a sense of tranquility\, inviting the viewer into an experience that seeks fulfillment and peace.
