SUMMARY:China Institute Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Join us virtually to explore Chinese medicine as a living cultural tradition and learn how Chinese ideas about the body\, nature\, and balance have shaped daily life for thousands of years. \nTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has evolved over centuries\, offering a distinctive way of understanding health\, the body\, and the world around us. Rooted in observations of nature and grounded in philosophical ideas such as yin and yang\, qi\, and seasonal harmony\, Chinese medicine reflects a holistic view of life that connects the human body with the environment\, community\, and time. Exploring these concepts offers a meaningful pathway to understanding Chinese culture\, history\, and ways of living. \nWe will explore core cultural concepts in Chinese medicine\, including balance and harmony\, seasonal living\, food and herbs as everyday supports\, and gentle mind–body practices. We will highlight how these ideas have influenced daily routines\, dietary habits\, and wellness practices across Chinese history and into the present day.

SUMMARY:Play - JESA (Final Performances)
DESCRIPTION:JESA by Jeena Yi\, directed by Mei Ann Teo\, is a riotous and heart-wrenching new play that explodes the idea of the “perfect family gathering.” When four estranged Korean American sisters reunite in Orange County to perform their father’s Jesa—a traditional ritual honoring the dead—old wounds erupt\, secrets surface\, and ghosts (literal and emotional) refuse to stay buried. With razor-sharp dialogue\, explosive humor\, and unexpected tenderness\, JESA asks how we honor our ancestors when we can barely stand each other. Come for the sibling brawls and burning shrimp\, stay for the aching truth of what binds us.  \nEnjoy $10 off all performances with discount code: MAYIJESA

SUMMARY:Sotong & Against This Messy World
DESCRIPTION:This Spring\, GETSEA will host two short films highlighting the challenges to art and expression in Malaysia’s complex political\, legal\, and societal landscape. \nSotong follows four fierce local drag queens who were part of the 2022 Halloween party raided by the authorities.

Two years later\, they revisit on the fallout of that night as they continue to perform underground and nurture the Malaysian drag scene in all its beauty\, joy\, and pain. \nAgainst This Messy World is a deeply introspective and visually captivating short documentary that delves into the heart and soul of artistic expression in Malaysia. A personal exploration\, narrated by Malaysian artists\, this documentary takes viewers on an evocative journey to understand the essence and purpose of being an artist in a world marked by chaos and uncertainty and piece together conversations and unfiltered moments in their lives. \nUniversities from across North America will come together to watch the films simultaneously\, then connect via Zoom with the filmmakers for a post-screening discussion. If you are interested in holding a screening at your campus\, please reach out to Chris Hulshof at chulshof@wisc.edu.

SUMMARY:Association for Asian American Studies 2026 Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Our 2026 AAAS gathering in Hawai‘i coincides with a series of anniversaries that present a timely opportunity to consider the promises and limits of Asian American Studies from the belly of the U.S. imperial beast. Here we’re especially thinking about how 2026 marks the semiquincentennial of the United States’ declaration of independence from the British Empire and the birth of its own world historic imperial vision that extended its reach from the Atlantic into the Pacific; the 50th anniversary of the first “landing” that liberated the island of Kaho‘olawe from decades of U.S. Navy live-fire bombing\, a Kanaka Maoli-led effort that helped spark the modern sovereignty movement; and the 80th anniversary of the Great Hawai‘i Sugar Strike\, an island-wide\, interethnic\, working-class shutdown of the plantation industry.

SUMMARY:AAPI Celebration: On Confluences and Connections by Sangamithra Iyer
DESCRIPTION:Sangamithra Iyer will read from and discuss her debut book\, Governing Bodies: A Memoir\, a Confluence\, a Watershed. Governing Bodies connects family history\, ecological grief\, the lives of animals\, and the memory of water in a lyrical meditation on lineages of nonviolence. In it\, Iyer also wrestles with how we live with the legacy of historical harms and how we address the current moment of multiple worldwide crises. The book sits at the confluence of prose and poetry\, science and art\, and personal and planetary sorrow\, and draws from Iyer’s work at the intersections of engineering\, writing and activism.

SUMMARY:Turang - an Indonesian Film Forum screening
DESCRIPTION:Indonesian Film Forum is proud to present the US East Coast premiere of Bachtiar Siagian’s Turang (1957) – a seminal piece of Indonesian film history\, rediscovered in 2023 after having declared lost for many years. \nTurang centers a love story between Batak Karo villager Tipi and Indonesian freedom fighter Rusli during Indonesia’s fight for independence from Dutch colonial rule. It is a document of Indonesian post-colonial cinema that colors a world beyond the military-centric independence narratives we often see. Turang displays Bachtiar Siagian’s neorealist streak and sincerity in telling the story of the Karo people\, which also reflects his work as a member of LEKRA and the head of the 1964 Afro-Asian Film Festival – a film initiative stemming from the 1955 Afro-Asian conference in Bandung. A majority of Bachtiar Siagian’s films remains unseen to the contemporary audience\, as LEKRA members were exiled or imprisoned after the 1965-66 anti-communist purge and Suharto’s presidency that emerged after.
