Speaking in Shadows: An Invocation of Migrant Presence (on view Oct 15 – Dec 20, 2026) is an intimate gathering and communal installation by Daniel Arturo Almeida, Nyssa Chow, and Jennifer Wen Ma. A resplendent garden of cut paper and light, where the poetry of migrant lives is named, beheld, and voiced in light and shadows. A shelter, built by three immigrant artists, to keep company with Chinatown communities, for the ones who share this knowing.

Violist Carol Gimbel is known for her bewitching, “goose-bump-worthy” performances where “the stagecraft alone is worth the price of admission”. At the heart of her music-making is a focus on storytelling and community building to help audiences connect to the world and to themselves in new ways.
