Asian American / Asian Research Institute
The City University of New York
The Asian American / Asian Research Institute (AAARI) of The City University of New York will be holding its 5th Anniversary Celebration at Gala Manor in Flushing, Queens, the heart of New York City’s largest Asian American community.
Date: Friday, May 19, 2006 | Time: 6PM to 8PM Place: CUNY Graduate Center – Martin E. Segal Theatre 365 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan (Corner of 34th Street)
This event presented a solo dance performance exploring the essence of Chinese calligraphy through movement, where the flowing lines of ink and body merge to evoke spirit, form, and cultural heritage. It offered a meditative, abstract experience that invites the audience to engage with the interplay of inner and outer expression.
This is the first attempt at CUNY to bring together scholars and professionals to discuss the many facets of this vibrant community. Session topics include intergenerational transition, emerging Korea history and its cultural impact, as well as organization and empowerment issues. The goal is to build a stronger and better bridge between academia and the Korean American community. Students, faculty and community leaders are encouraged to attend this important conference to ensure continual focus on research and services related to this dynamic community.
The conference will bring together leaders from government, business, academia, and local Asian American communities to debate ways to address the multidimensional issues involved in “global entrepreneurship.”
This event explored the evolving roles, needs, and aspirations of Chinatown’s residents through a series of expert-led workshops, culminating in a documentary montage that captures the community’s experiences and perspectives for broader public education.
