SUMMARY:Civil Rights
DESCRIPTION:The incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII is the most horrific violation of the U.S. Constitution against APIDAs. The incarceration violated almost all of the amendments in the Bill of Rights\, as well as a few other Amendments. Almost the entire population of innocent Japanese Americans was incarcerated for over three years simply due to their heritage and ancestry. This workshop shows activities for students to learn how to analyze the Constitution through the lens of historic events\, such as the wartime incarceration.

SUMMARY:Heart on Fire\, Brain on Ice: Philippine Nonfiction since 2000
DESCRIPTION:Direct and political in their aims\, these documentaries\, features and shorts mostly unreleased and unseen in the United States\, take a clear-eyed view of the Philippines’ most exploited—landless peasant farmers\, urban poor displaced by development\, generations of indigenous families affected by toxic waste left behind by U.S. military bases—as well as those among them who are agitated to resist. The filmmakers are often intimately if not directly affected by the repression they capture\, and the films are made by and with activists who have integrated with the communities they follow on the ground. Occasionally surreal\, sometimes absurd\, these films maintain a firm grip on the visceral reality that binds their struggles together.

SUMMARY:Korea On Screen: 'Break the Chain' & 'The Good\, the Bad\, the Weird'

Through feature films\, documentaries\, short films\, and independent productions\, the series aims to broaden access to and appreciation of Korean cinema in New York City. \nThis special evening pairs Lee Man-hee’s North American Premiere 4K Remaster of Break the Chain (1971) with Kim Jee-woon’s The Good\, the Bad\, the Weird (2008)—a film that takes direct inspiration from its 1971 predecessor. Together\, the two films trace the lineage of Korea’s Manchurian Western tradition\, from its golden-era origins to its modern reinvention\, offering audiences a rare opportunity to witness the dialogue between a classic and the contemporary masterpiece it inspired.

SUMMARY:Dance - Here NOW So Long
DESCRIPTION:Here NOW So Long is utterly compelling multimedia dance theater work marked by remarkable versatility and choreographic virtuosity of Young Soon Kim. Here NOW So Long explores the turbulence of human emotion through 12 vivid scenes\, weaving together panoramic video imagery\, a live performance of an original score of guitars and electronics\, and the fluid\, dramatic movement of WHITE WAVE’s stunning dancers. The work extends and breaks the boundaries of contemporary dance with themes of love\, longing\, and inner conflict. \nThe production continues WHITE WAVE’s longstanding collaboration with a team of singularly innovative artists: an original score by Marco Cappelli\, visuals by filmmaker Hao Bai\, and dramaturgy by James Leverett\, former Yale professor. Artistic Director Young Soon Kim creates a movement language that reveres tradition while embracing innovation\, reaching into the inner landscapes of imagination\, passion\, and spirit to generate new expressions of contemporary dance.

SUMMARY:Segmented markets\, chokepoints\, and the limits of liberalisation: Rethinking the Philippine rice economy
DESCRIPTION:Despite being a nation of rice eaters\, the Philippines’ smallholder rice economy remains structurally fragile. This talk asks why a country with a long history of rice crises continues to struggle to sustain domestic production\, and advances two related claims. \nFirst\, importation has long served as the Philippine state’s principal instrument for managing rice crises\, but this recurrent reliance has displaced rather than resolved the challenge of sustaining domestic production reform. \nSecond\, this pattern cannot be understood by assuming a unified national rice market. The Philippine rice economy is better seen as a segmented field in which traders\, millers\, creditors\, and other intermediaries control chokepoints that shape price formation\, timing of sale\, and the distribution of value. Dominant policy approaches have framed rice competitiveness too narrowly: they identify low yields\, high production costs\, and high gross marketing margins\, but leave insufficient room for analysing the relations that systematically weaken farmers’ bargaining position in the market. Supporting rural well-being requires more than improved seeds or machines; it requires policy attention to mobility\, bargaining power\, reciprocity\, and the social infrastructures of hanapbuhay.
