NoMAA: Women in the Heights –Shade

17th annual exhibition
OPENING RECEPTION

CURATED BY ANDREA AROYYO

Shade explores the intersections of light and shadow—literal, social, and emotional. In every culture and community, shade carries layered meanings: it can offer refuge or concealment, protection or defiance, acceptance, or rejection.

From throwing shade to sheltering in shade, from colorism in race to color range in art, shade speaks to power, presence, and the unseen forces that shape how we move through the world.

How does shade define visibility? How do we navigate the tension between exposure and cover, clarity and ambiguity, belonging and otherness?

Inwood Art Works: FantAsia!

FantAsia! is a vibrant celebration of Asian music, traditions, and cuisine.  Featuring INTERWOVEN

Highlighting the program are three world-premiere compositions that interlace Asian and Western musical worlds, inspired by ancient legends, traditional dances, and shared philosophies. Join us as we welcome the Year of the Horse together!

FantAsia, celebrates the sound of the East and West, past and present. The concert opens with performances of historic Eastern Asian melodies, featuring instruments such as the koto (Japanese zither) played by Yoko Reikano Kimura, piri & saenghwang (Korean wind instruments) performed by Gamin, and the erhu (Chinese two-stringed instrument) played by Andy Lin. As the audience becomes acquainted with the traditional sounds of Asia, the program shifts to new compositions that intertwine the sonorities of the East and West, written by American composers such as Hung-Ping Chang and Jay Reise.

Throughout the performance, some of our musicians will offer brief explanations, introducing the instruments and sharing the cultural and philosophical inspirations behind the pieces—connecting the audience to the myths, aesthetic objects, and traditions of Asia. Our performances are designed to be accessible to anyone interested in exploring unfamiliar sounds and ideas. While there is an educational component to our program, no prior knowledge of Asian culture is required—just an open mind and curiosity.

Bring your family and meet your friends to enjoy an afternoon community concert of classical music. All are welcome!

Reception with light snacks and beverages following the performance.
