Join MFA Fine Arts for an enlightening conversation titled "In Their Own Words: Demythifying Asian Americans" at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. This thought-provoking panel will feature Asian American artists and educators Ji Woo Kim, Yin Ming Wong, Aya Rodriguez-Izumi, and Dr. Catherine Rosamond as they delve into the harmful effects of the Model Minority myth. In collaboration with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at SVA, this event aims to foster discourse on inclusivity and community, exploring the multifaceted Asian American identity encompassing race, ethnicity, and nationality. Attendees will gain insights into the fallacies surrounding Asian Americans and how they are perceived in cultural contexts and sociopolitical environments. Through the lens of critical theory, the panelists will examine the concepts of belonging and displacement in relation to artmaking and education, sharing personal anecdotes and discoveries. This event is open to the public, welcoming individuals from all backgrounds to engage in the conversation. There will also be an opportunity for a Q&A session, encouraging attendees to contribute their insights. While the focus is primarily on the Asian American experience, the organizers hope that this exchange of ideas will inspire further inclusive conversations and foster greater awareness and care for the AAPI community. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a meaningful dialogue that challenges stereotypes and promotes understanding. Admission is free, so mark your calendars for November 2, 2023.

As I ascended the Empire State Building observation deck, the lights of Manhattan gradually illuminated the twilight, like a galaxy inverted on the earth. The cold wind jingled the love locks on the railings, and the streaks of light from the yellow taxis below reminded me of the time-traveling encounter in &quot;Sleepless in Seattle.&quot; On the 86th floor, in a corner, I spotted an elderly couple, their wrinkled wool scarves billowing like gentle sails in the night breeze, quietly embracing through binoculars. As neon signs flashed in the distance, I suddenly understood why this city forever attracts dreamers&mdash;not because of its height, but because behind every window lies an untamed yearning.

Museums

Themed exhibition halls

Getting lost at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a kind of bliss&mdash;turning past Roman columns, you suddenly stumble upon the Temple of Dendur, the Nile&#39;s mist seemingly still condensed on the sandstone. Lingering for a long time before &quot;Riverside Scene&quot; in the Chinese gallery, one can almost hear the pine trees whispering in Fan Kuan&#39;s ink-wash landscape. Most wondrously, in the European armor gallery, a knight&#39;s visor still bears the marks of 1547, while a Giacometti sculpture in the adjacent modern gallery speaks to it with a similarly rugged posture. Sitting in the tiered lobby at closing time, listening to an impromptu piano performance, twilight streaming through the glass dome onto Rodin&#39;s &quot;The Gates of Hell,&quot; you suddenly feel that the entire museum is like an ark carrying human civilization, with each exhibit an anchor point for its journey.

The Museum of Modern Art

Upon first seeing the original &quot;Starry Night&quot; on the fifth floor of MoMA, Van Gogh&#39;s swirling eddies were more turbulent than I had imagined; I could almost hear the paint roaring across the canvas. Passing through the installation art area, I was engulfed by Yayoi Kusama&#39;s Infinity Mirror Room&mdash;millions of my own reflections floated and sank in points of light, instantly disorienting me. In the contemporary art gallery, Duchamp&#39;s urinal remained playfully placed, next to which lay apple cores left by visitors. Most movingly, in the rest area, I saw an elderly man with white hair copying Mondrian; his trembling brushstrokes held the lingering warmth of the 20th century.

Central Park

Jogging along the long paths of Central Park, every step feels like stepping to the city&#39;s rhythm. A boy plays guitar by the Bethesda Fountain, the melody of &quot;Imagine&quot; flowing from the strings, blending wonderfully with the clatter of horse-drawn carriages. In front of the star-shaped mosaic at Strawberry Fields, someone always leaves behind a dew-kissed rose, the air filled with the scent of onion hot dogs and fresh grass. My favorite spot is the skating rink near Bow Bridge, watching beginners tumble and fall like snowballs, while the skyline silhouettes silently behind the treetops&mdash;in this steel jungle, there lies a heart-warming oasis.
