Lecture | Dig into How Visual Language Impacts NYC's Cultural Narratives
Designer and illustrator Arsh Raziuddin explores how visual language shapes the way stories circulate, endure, and define New York City. Raziuddin reflects on how immigrant and diasporic communities continually reshape the city's language, and how designers and publishers help decide which stories remain visible. New York has never had just one language. The city moves through accents, scripts, artwork, and communities, each producing its own version of the same place. In this talk, Arsh Raziuddin considers design, publishing, and editorial work as forms of cultural record, examining how communities document themselves when formal archives often fall short. Through her work on literary book covers and the independent political and cultural magazine Acacia, Raziuddin traces how visual language--book jackets, magazines, and graphic identities--becomes a reader's first encounter with a text, translating cultural narratives into design.

Workshop | Learn Korean Hangeul Calligraphy: Hand Fan Making
Enjoy a hands-on workshop exploring the beauty of Hangeul through both modern and traditional calligraphic practices. Led by artist Shiyool, this program offers participants a unique opportunity to experience Hangeul not only as a writing system, but as a refined visual art form. Rooted in centuries-old traditions, Hangeul Seoye (traditional Korean calligraphy) emphasizes discipline, balance, and the aesthetic spirit of brushwork, while modern Hangeul calligraphy focuses on expressive design and personal interpretation. Participants will explore both approaches and create their own meaningful works. Participants will begin with an introduction to fundamental brush techniques, including stroke practice, character formation, and composition. Guided by the instructor, each participant will then create a personalized Hangeul design by selecting a word or short phrase. This immersive experience invites participants to engage with Hangeul not only as a writing system, but as a form of artistic expression that bridges tradition and contemporary design. No prior experience is required. All materials will be provided. Due to limited capacity, participants will be selected through a randomized lottery process.

Play | Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet: Broadway & Film Actors in a Timeless Tale of Starcrossed Lovers
Never was there a story of more woe, or more romance, than the Bard's timeless tale of two young lovers from warring families. As the Montagues and Capulets are torn apart by ideology and simmering violence spills into the streets of the border town of Verona, Romeo and Juliet dare to defy a world determined to keep them apart. In this bold new staging, the play unfolds in English, but Romeo and Juliet speak to one another in Spanish, a language reserved only for their shared world. Don't miss this thrilling new production, essential viewing for lovers of Shakespeare, theater, and the enduring power of love itself. Written by William Shakespeare Directed by Saheem Ali Cast: Ra'Mya Latiah Aikens, Sergio Mauritz Ang (TV: Crutch, Law & Order: SVU), Daniel Bravo Hernandez (Broadway: Romeo + Juliet), Reece dos Santos, Caleb Joshua Eberhardt (Broadway: An Enemy of the People, Choir Boy), Glenn Fleshler (Broadway: Good Night, and Good Luck, Death of a Salesman, Arcadia, Guys and Dolls, Spring Awakening; Film: Joker, A Most Violent Year; TV: Billions, Barry, True Detective, Boardwalk Empire), Francis Jue (Tony, Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel, and Obie Awards for Yellow Face)
