SUMMARY:Christine Choy Retrospective: Featuring From Spikes to Spindles and Fei Tien\, Goddess in Flight
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented with Third World Newsreel and Anthology Film Archives. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nTICKETS \nThird World Newsreel presents a major fall retrospective honoring Christine Choy (1952-2025)\, an NYU professor and foundational figure in Asian American documentary. Over five decades\, Choy trained her camera on the people the official record overlooked: Chinatown’s garment workers and tenants\, incarcerated women\, Southeast Asian refugees\, families split by the Korean DMZ\, and communities across the Mississippi Delta. \nThe Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU is co-sponsoring screenings of From Spikes to Spindles and Fei Tien\, Goddess in Flight on Wednesday\, September 9 at 8:30 p.m.\, featuring a discussion with Mei Lum (W.O.W. Project)\, and Sunday\, September 13 at 6:30 p.m\, featuring a discussion with Minju Bae (NYU Gallatin). \nChoy co-founded Third World Newsreel in 1972\, Asian CineVision in 1975\, and the Center for Asian American Media in 1980\, taught at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts\, and earned an Academy Award nomination for Who Killed Vincent Chin? (1987)\, a Peabody Award\, and induction into the Library of Congress National Film Registry. This multi-venue retrospective – which will take place at Anthology\, DCTV’s Firehouse Cinema\, and the Asian American International Film Festival (taking place at Asia Society) – is anchored by new digital preservations of nine of her pioneering films from the early 1970s to the early 1990s\, an act of preservation as resistance that keeps her work\, and the histories it holds\, in public view at the moment the country tells its own 250th-anniversary story. \n  \nAccessibility note: If you have any access needs\, please email twn@twn.org. \n

America passed its version in 1882\, while Canada followed suit in 1923. The two nations came to share a vision of Chinese exclusion that was remarkably similar\, as the structure of the 1923 Canadian Chinese Immigration Act was based in part upon the 1882 American Exclusion Act. But in effect\, the two acts diverged. Under the 1923 Chinese Immigration Act\, only 44 Chinese immigrants attained legal admission\, in comparison to the thousands who entered the US after the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. Why would an act that followed a similar structure as the American Chinese Exclusion Act produce fewer legal admissions? I argue that the answer lies in how Parliament designed the 1923 Chinese Immigration Act to avoid the problems that frustrated their American counterparts as they sought to enforce Chinese exclusion. Canada closely studied America’s experiment with the 1882 Act\, as the Chinese Exclusion Act marked the first time that the US implemented exclusionary immigrations laws that were applied solely on the basis of race and nationality. Each piece of federal anti-Chinese legislation introduced by Canada\, beginning with the 1885 head tax and ending with the 1923 Chinese Immigration Act\, was deeply informed by American Chinese exclusion. Viewing the American Exclusion Act as a cumbersome\, flawed piece of legislation full of loopholes and difficult to enforce\, Canada innovated upon the act’s structure. Canada’s version blended elements of the American 1882 Act with the legal and governmental traditions that Canada\, as a self-governing white settler Dominion of the British Empire\, had inherited from its imperial progenitor. Chinese exclusion in Canada was further supplemented by a strong centralised federal government. This version of federalism enabled Canadian immigration officials to exert a higher degree of regulatory control than their American counterparts and to avoid court-imposed limitations over the law’s enforcement.  \n  \nImage: Courtesy of the Paper Trail Collection\, UBC Library\, Rare Books and Special Collections\, RBSC-ARC-1838-DO-0521\, and the Royal BC Museum.

SUMMARY:Transpacific Experiments – Imagining Music\, Practice\, and Writing
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the NYU Center of Humanities. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU.  \nREGISTER \n\n\n\nMiki Kaneda‘s Transpacific Experiments: Intermedia Art in 1960s Japan (University of Michigan Press\, 2026) analyzes intermedia as a multimodal practice that gives form to errant possibilities\, unfolding in spaces of the everyday. In the book\, Kaneda contends that intermedia extends\, exceeds\, and at times unsettles frameworks for experimental practices\, revealing the limitations of any single political or aesthetic lens. \nWith the book as a point of departure\, Ethiraj Gabriel Dattatreyan (NYU Department of Anthropology) and Angie Pittman (NYU Tisch Department of Dance) join Miki Kaneda (NYU Center for the Humanities) in a conversation about how we might imagine practice (music\, dance\, film\, ethnography\, and beyond) as ways of thinking about writing and remembering how art weaves history and memory. Moderated by Cristina Vatulescu (NYU Center for the Humanities). \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event open to the public. Registration is required. Non-NYU guests may be asked to present a government-issued photo ID. NYU guests must present their NYU ID. \nAccessibility note: This venue has an elevator and is accessible for wheelchair users. There are single-stall\, all gender restrooms available. If you have any access needs\, please email humanities.center@nyu.edu

SUMMARY:Performing Vulnerability: A Talk by Emily L. Hue with Linda Luu
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the NYU Department of Social and Cultural Analysis. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU.  \nREGISTER \nProfessor Emily L. Hue and Dr. Linda Luu discuss Hue’s recent publication Performing Vulnerability: Risking Art and Life in the Burmese Diaspora (University of Washington Press\, 2025). \nA groundbreaking exploration of how diasporic Burmese artists navigate the intricate intersections of art\, politics\, and humanitarianism\, Performing Vulnerability delves into the complexities of vulnerability as both a personal and a performative act. These diasporic artists\, exiled due to state repression and political turmoil\, find themselves in a precarious balance between expressing their traumas and engaging with the international art market’s expectations. They use their bodies as canvases to communicate the scars of surveillance\, imprisonment\, and censorship inflicted by their home state while simultaneously confronting the commodification of their suffering by global humanitarian industries. \nEmily Hue\, associate professor of Ethnic studies and core faculty in SEATRiP\, is an interdisciplinary scholar who specializes in studies of humanitarianism\, Asian American Studies\, visual art\, performance\, queer studies\, Southeast Asia\, and diaspora. She earned her PhD at New York University in Social and Cultural Analysis in the field of American Studies and BA in Women’s Studies from Vassar College. She has previously held a UC Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship in Comparative Literature and Languages at UC Riverside. She sits on the editorial board of the Critical Ethnic Studies Journal and is a US Area Editor at the Journal of Asian Diasporic Visual Culture in the Americas. \nLinda Luu is an interdisciplinary scholar of US empire\, race\, and therapeutic culture. Luu’s research looks at the role of psychological expertise in US liberal counterinsurgency both abroad and at home through the lens of the Vietnam War. Luu holds a PhD in American Studies. \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event open to the public. Registration is required. Non-NYU guests may be asked to present a government-issued photo ID. NYU guests must present their NYU ID. \nAccessibility note: This venue has an elevator and is accessible for wheelchair users. There are all gender restrooms available. If you have any access needs\, please email mwb9975@nyu.edu.
