Black, communities of color and queer, transgender, and gender expansive migrants are often overlooked in discussions on immigration. At this contemporary moment, how do we center Black and Asian feminist perspectives on immigration? How have U.S. immigration policies further catalyzed racial inequities and violence in our respective communities and diasporas? At the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, class, and citizenship, who are the most impacted by anti-immigration policies and state and quotidian violence? How can we continue to build cross-racial feminist solidarities so that Black, Asian, LGBTQ+, and disabled migrants are not left behind?

Part of the I SUPPORT BLACK WOMEN campaign created by Trinice McNally, Black Queer Feminist migrant, survivor, and activist and Virgil Abloh creative director and founder of Off-White™ and hosted in collaboration with Black Discourse - this salon interrogates Black and Asian feminist perspectives on immigration as radical interventions and strategies towards liberation.

Where do we want to go together? Join us for a celebration and launch of the Black and Asian Feminist Solidarities project, an ongoing commitment to practicing solidarity together, which has found a home on AAWW’s The Margins. Solidarity at its core is about relationships. We believe in a radical feminist future where we commit to taking responsibility for one another. Six months after the initial start of our project, we reflect on what it means to hold space together and to build and grow alongside each other.

Featuring remarks and discussion with Jaimee Swift of Black Women Radicals and co-leaders of the Asian American Feminist Collective; a poetry reading by Cecile Afable and Zuri Gordon; a conversation between sex work activists Kate Zen and SX Noir; and reflections and dance party with Dr. Margot Okazawa-Rey (aka DJ MOR Love & Joy). 

***Co-hosted by Black Women Radicals, Asian American Feminist Collective, and Asian American Writers’ Workshop. Captions provided.***

The Asian American Feminist Collective is proud to present an interactive workshop, RACE IS A BODY IMAGE ISSUE, led by the incredible Sonalee Rashatwar AKA The Fat Sex Therapist!

Sonalee Rashatwar (she/they) LCSW MEd is an award-winning social worker, sex therapist, adjunct lecturer, and grassroots organizer. Based in Philly (licensed in NJ and PA), she is a fat queer non-binary therapist and co-owner of Radical Therapy Center, specialized in treating sexual trauma, body image issues, racial or immigrant identity issues, and South Asian family systems, while offering fat and body positive sexual healthcare.

Popularly known as @TheFatSexTherapist on Instagram, their notoriety peaked when they were featured on Breitbart in March 2018 for naming thinness as a white supremacist beauty ideal. Sonalee is a sought-after speaker who travels internationally to curate custom visual workshops that whisper to our change-making spirit and nourish our vision for a more just future. Learn more at www.sonaleerashatwar.com.

Race is A Body Image Issue

In the US, more than 30 million people of all ages, races, genders, sizes, and sexual orientations live with an eating disorder. The rising cases of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and orthorexia (obsession to “eat healthy”) should serve as a signal to us all about the ways we turn white hegemony inward onto ourselves. In this workshop, Sonalee will explain how our definitions, role models, and solutions for positive body image are actually interested in maintaining white supremacy. Why are we stuck scrutinizing our fat trans disabled bodies of color through the colonized white gaze? We'll explore how thinness has become a white supremacist beauty ideal and how we can begin to unlearn fatphobia through a complex, but accessible intersectional analysis. Content will also cover topical fat liberation like medical weight bias, Health At Every Size (HAES), the relationship between body dissatisfaction and consent, and conclude with concrete ways we can promote positive self image and heal negative body image. Many free resources will be shared.

ACCESSIBILITY NOTES:

Wheelchair accessible. The 45 Main St. entrance has both stairs and an elevator to get to the Lobby level which is where the elevator bank is located.

Edited by S. Heijin Lee (NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis), Christina H. Moon (Parsons School of Design), and Thuy Linh Nguyen Tu (NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis), Fashion and Beauty in the Time of Asia (NYU Press, 2019) considers the role of bodily aesthetics in the shaping of Asian modernities and the formation of the so-called “Asian Century.” Transnational and interdisciplinary in approach, the volume brings together the fields of ethnic, gender, area, fashion, and cultural studies, and maps the way that fashion and beauty practices travel through imaginations, aspirations, and geographies (from Guangzhou to Los Angeles, Saigon to Seoul, New York to Toronto).

The editors participate in a roundtable discussion with contributors Jessamyn Hatcher (NYU Liberal Studies), Minh-Ha T. Pham (Pratt Institute), and Denise Cruz (Columbia University).

Presented by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. Co-sponsored by the School of Art and Design History and Theory, Parsons School of Design; Asian American Feminist Collective; and the Asian/Pacific/American Studies Program in the NYU NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis.

Notes on accessibility: This venue is accessible via elevator. Restrooms are single-stalled, and all gender.

As part of the Department of Education and Public Engagement’s ongoing programs engaging art and social justice, the New Museum hosts its third Youth Summit, a day of workshops and celebration organized by artists, activists, and collectives committed to community building, including Asian American Feminist Collective, Scope of Work (SOW), Unapologetically Brown Series, and the New Museum Youth Council. Each summit builds upon and reinterprets the principles of healing, self-love, skill building, political education, and empowerment established by the inaugural committee.

This year’s program emphasizes alternative forms of resistance that persist in spite of their commercialized, mainstream incarnations. The committee envisions an event that prioritizes those with intersecting marginalized identities, ensuring their concerns and their power remain central to the program. The Summit defines youth broadly, focusing on how young people change the social and political landscape by creating possibilities for self and community within it. Multiple generations are welcome to participate and share knowledge.

Presenters include A1BAZAAR, Emilia Ortiz, the Free Black Women’s Library, Kei Williams, Movement Netlab, Veggie Mijas, Fariha Róisín, Women of Color in Solidarity, #FreeToo Yoga, and more. This year’s Summit concludes with an after-party featuring rising Baltimore hip-hop artist Lor Choc in the New Museum Theater and Brooklyn-based collective DisCakes in the Sky Room.

Capacity for this event is limited. Tickets will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors open at 1:30 pm. Please leave all backpacks and large bags at home! If you need to bring one along, it must be checked on arrival.

Youth Summit co-organizers include:

The Asian American Feminist Collective engages intersectional feminist politics grounded within communities of those with East, Southeast, and South Asian; Pacific Islander; and multiethnic and diasporic Asian identities. The collective seeks to foster dialogue that explores the intersections of Asian/American identity with issues of social justice in order to build toward collective liberation. They continue to interrogate and define the Asian-American feminist movement through media, event curation, and digital storytelling.

Scope of Work (SOW) is a talent development agency for underrepresented young people aged seventeen to twenty-four. SOW aims to establish equity in the creative industry, bridging the gap between the creative sector and an untapped pool of creatives of color. Founded in 2016 by Geneva White and Eda Levenson, two career artists and educators of color with over a decade of experience in youth development and arts education. SOW’s vision is to build a more inclusive creative ecosystem.

The Unapologetically Brown Series is a multimedia street-based visual series highlighting communities of color, created by Salvadoran-born artist Johanna Toruño. The Unapologetically Brown Series focuses on the importance of storytelling through accessible public art and of acknowledging queer folks in the arts.

We dream of an anti-imperialist and anti-patriarchal future without borders, wars, military occupation, and forced migration.

Join us for an evening at the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU as we gather and convene in the mural and sound installation We Imagine Sanctuary, created by Jess X. Snow and Ushka (Thanushka Yakupitiyage) in collaboration with NYU students. Meet other organizers, leaders, artists, and activists from different NYC-based collectives and hear from collectives doing transnational movement work. Collectives will share their political visions and goals for the coming year and also discuss context-specific challenges and lessons from movement building.

Hosted by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU, Asian American Feminist Collective, Bangladeshi Feminist Collective, Chinese Feminist Collective, and GABRIELA-NY.

Let's talk about sex and sexuality! How do we explore fantasy and desire? What are our relationships with our own bodies like? What was our personal sex education experience, and what do we wish it was? We aim to create an open, radical, empathetic space to discuss the intimate topics of sex and sexuality from our personal perspectives and lived experiences. We come into this conversation with open-mindedness and tenderness for those around us, with a deep understanding that everybody’s journey is unique. This will be a sex-positive, slut-shaming-free space.

Due to space limitations, we only have a handful of spots open to community members who are interested in attending.

Note: This event is for those who self-identify as East, Southeast, and South Asian, Pacific Islander, multi-ethnic and diasporic Asian women, femmes, and TGNC folks.

The Asian American Feminist Collective presents a community screening of the documentary MATANGI / MAYA / M.I.A. The film chronicles Matangi, the daughter of the founder of Sri Lanka's armed Tamil resistance, and her journey from refugee to international pop star M.I.A. We follow along different stages of her art, music, and activism, from going ‘back home’ and untangling her desires to reconnect with her roots to becoming a representative voice in the Western cultural landscape of genocide in Sri Lanka. 

Following the screening, AAFC will host a facilitated talk-back to dissect and contextualize M.I.A.'s story. We’ll be discussing M.I.A. as an important figure of South Asian representation in the West and what it means to acknowledge and condemn her anti-Black comments regarding Black Lives Matter while holding space for her refugee status and fraught personal history. What do we make of M.I.A. as a complex and controversial cultural figure? What does she mean to us as Asian Americans and as activists? What can we learn from her story, and what does her journey illuminate about larger tensions between Asian and Black communities? 

Ticket price includes screening + wine (for 21+ only).
The Militant Manatee will be serving Taiwanese comfort food at low cost, sliding scale prices!

NOTES:
This event is open to all ages.

Decolonization as a Form of Mental Health Practice (Healing Ancestral Wounds of the Mind, Passed Down from Generation to Generation): a Workshop with Jana Lynne Umipig

This workshop exposes participants to methods of self-care and emphasizes ways in which we can connect with the pre-colonial past as well as anti-colonial, anti-racist, transinclusive, feminist politics in our contemporary times. We will also uphold and create messages of revolutionary and resilient affirmation to begin processes of spiritual, expressive, and intellectual liberation. 

The workshop will involve physical movement and time for reflective contemplation so please bring comfortable clothing and something to write with for the workshop.

This is an echo event of the Asian American Feminism x Mental Health and Wellness installation. This event is open to the general public.

In our current political moment, the resistance must grow in its resilience. NAPAWF*NYC invites you to take a moment to begin thinking about how systems of oppression manifest in our bodies as well as practices we can use to disrupt patterns of trauma and grief. We will be sharing opportunities for reflection, connection and simple healing practices you can take with you.

Conveners for this community workshop will be AnneMarie Ladlad and Connie Cho, who will be sharing lessons primarily drawn from the work of Kate Werning and Shawna Wakefield, who teach trauma-informed yoga at the Third Root Community Center and other resilience focused workshops. This space is an echo event of the Asian American Feminism x Mental Health and Wellness installation.

Come as you are, no prior experiences necessary.
Please note: this is -not- a clinical workshop or a group therapy session.

What does (un)wellness look like in the context of Asian America? In the context of student life? How are our experiences of health and sense of self shaped by racism, sexism, immigration experiences, war, and intergenerational trauma? How can you care for yourself in these times? How can you support your peers?

Join us in creating a space for students to share narratives and unpack notions of mental health, mental capacity, and (un)wellness that are embedded in the academy, our families, and the world around us. We will use the The Asian American Literary Review's Open in Emergency Special Issue (http://bit.ly/2iMlpy8) to reclaim non-Western forms of meaning-making and work to understand the relationship between traumatic stress responses and interpersonal, institutional and structural violence. 

This is an echo event of the Asian American Feminism x Mental Health and Wellness installation co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU and NAPAWF*New York City. While it is open to the general public, this event is primarily intended for current or recent students. 

This community workshop is co-created and co-led by students from the NYU Asian Pacific American Coalition (APAC) and the undergraduate chapter of APAMSA of New York University, Jenn Fang from the Asian American Feminist blog Reappropriate, NAPAWF*New York City chapter members, and Kevin Nadal, the President of the Asian American Psychological Association.

Join NAPAWF*NYC Community and the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU for a participatory gallery installation exploring mental health and wellness from an Asian American feminist perspective. We will be displaying and interacting with materials from The Asian American Literary Review's amazing Open in Emergency: A Special Issue on Asian American Mental Health (http://bit.ly/2oloSDR), which brings together a dynamic mix of writing, visual art and interactive mini-projects into a "mental health toolkit."

The task of decolonizing mental health, recalibrating our understanding of wellness for ourselves, and breaking down barriers to addressing intergenerational trauma as people of color has only become more of a political imperative as we resist and reenvision the racialized and gendered political structures that have perpetuated our deeply inadequate systems of care.

Come to bear witness to each other and create a space for collective healing through creative interactive installations featuring and inspired by decks of Asian American tarot cards, a "hacked DSM," an brochure on post-partum depression annotated with the narratives of Asian-American womxn, a testimonial tapestry, and intergenerational letters (daughters to mothers).

Please plan to stay for the entirety of the event, including the opening and closing ceremonies led by multimedia artist Bex Kwan (http://www.bexkwan.com/) and a welcome from the editor of the Special Issue, Mimi Khúc. We will also have a healing space with tea and noms where you can quietly reflect or meet other attendees. If you have access needs and/or need support in attending this event, please email nycchapter@napawf.org.
