Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns
Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, seeking to uncover the experiences of Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Author Reading | Bestselling Author/Journalist Discusses Her New Book: The Acid Queen
Bestselling author and journalist Susannah Cahalan discusses her new book, I—about a woman who embodied an era of freedom, experimentation, and psychedelic adventure, Rosemary Woodruff Leary—with NYPL archivist Tal Nadan. Rosemary Woodruff Leary has been known only as the wife of Timothy Leary, the Harvard professor-turned-psychedelic high priest, whose jailbreak captivated the counterculture and whose life on the run with Rosemary inflamed the government. But Rosemary was more than a mere accessory. She was a beatnik, a psychonaut, and a true believer who tested the limits of her mind and the expectations for women of her time. Long overlooked by those who have venerated her husband, Rosemary spent her life on the forefront of the counterculture, working with Leary on his books and speeches, sewing his clothing, and shaping—for better and for worse—the media’s narrative about LSD. Drawing from a wealth of interviews, diaries, archives, and unpublished sources, Susannah Cahalan writes the definitive portrait of Rosemary Woodruff Leary, reclaiming her narrative and her voice from those who dismissed her. Doors will open 30 minutes before the program begins.

Concert | Mambo Legends Orchestra Celebrates the Music Legacy of San Juan Hill (In Person AND Online!)
Enlivening dance halls and stages across the neighborhood, music and dance were a part of everyday life in San Juan Hill from the early 1900s when vaudeville, ragtime, James Reese Europe and the Castles, and the Charleston whirled through the area. As the neighborhood's Puerto Rican population grew significantly in the 1940s and '50s, Latin music and dance styles took root. Jazz ensembles, Latin music bands and Mambo Nights were featured in and around San Juan Hill at venues like the Lincoln Square Center and the St. Nicholas Arena, as well as the nearby Palladium Ballroom. This event celebrates the storied history of Latin music and dance in this area. Featuring live music by the Mambo Legends Orchestra, an ensemble dedicated to keeping the sounds of the Mambo tradition and the great Afro-Cuban bandleaders Machito, Tito Puente, and Tito Rodriguez alive and thriving. Comprised of several former members of these renowned bands of the 1950s and '60s, the Mambo Legends Orchestra bridges past to present, celebrating an era of music in mid-20th century New York City when big band popular music fused with the rhythms and sounds of music from Africa, Cuba, and Puerto Rico to create a musical genre that's beloved worldwide.

Argan is ill. But is he? Argan is dying. But aren't we all? Argan wants absolute control. But is that ever achievable?
