YELLOW: An Artistic Space Centering Asian Voices
2026-01-25 12:30 - 14:30 | NY
Come find refuge in a space that celebrates & centers Asians!
“In the West, yellow’s unsavory status went back centuries…The color grew to represent envy, jealousy…duplicity…and cowardice.
Yellow 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.
– Excerpts from “Big Little Man” by Alex Tizon
For 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.
For 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)!
There 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.
Creating 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.
We 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.
Otherwise, we’ll see you on the last Sunday of the month (with some exceptions)!

In a moment unlike any we have faced as a global community, Race Forward believes that Racial Justice is more important than ever. In order to embed Racial Equity into all of our day to day operations as well as our responses in this moment we must continue to hold fast to a commitment that enables us to learn, grow and practice racial equity work together.
As the world continues to adapt to threats against democracy, we will continue to offer virtual learning spaces that center on normalizing, organizing, and operationalizing racial equity into our work at every intersection.
The Virtual Building Racial Equity series, developed by Race Forward: The Center for Racial Justice Innovation, is an interactive training for those who wish to sharpen their skills and strategies to address systemic racism and advance racial equity. Unlike “diversity trainings,” which primarily focus on interpersonal relations and understanding, these trainings emphasize how to challenge and change institutional racial inequities.
Building Racial Equity: Foundations is the first and “foundational” training of the series. Participants will build on and strengthen racial equity practices for themselves and their organizations and networks. This training will introduce participants to concepts, frames, and tools that are essential to a productive racial equity practice. Attending this training is required to participate in subsequent trainings.
Training Components

Racial Justice Values & Vision
Key Concepts: Different Dimensions of Racism and Systems Analysis

Webinar: Programming First: How Nonprofits Can Make Smarter Space Decisions
2026-01-27 13:00 - 14:00 | NY
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. This session will introduce a practical framework for understanding space through three critical perspectives: physical, financial, and organizational.
Together, we’ll explore the process of converting program needs into actionable space strategies-whether that’s leasing, purchasing, or reconfiguring existing space-while being mindful of budget and gathering consensus among decision-makers.

Using real-world examples, our experts will show you how to keep your mission at the center of every real estate decision.
In this session, you will:

Discover how to translate programs into physical space

Understand space influencing programming vs. programming influencing space

Explore our programming change checklist to assess your space requirements

Ran Hwang | Noble Blossoms
2026-01-27 17:00 - 19:00 | The Korea Society, 350 Madison Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, NY, 10017
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.
Hwang 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.
