[Un]Framing Gender Opening Reception

Join us for the opening reception: Thursday, June 5 from 6-9pm with beverages and light fare. One-night-only preformance art and live music will fill the evening.
[Un]Framing Gender invites viewers to traverse the intricate terrains of gender identity, culture, and self-expression through the artistic lens.
This dynamic exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists from South Asia and America, showcasing innovative works that reflect the shifting landscapes of masculinity and femininity in contemporary society.
Through painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media, each piece challenges conventional narratives and stimulates dialogue about the roles and perceptions of gender in both regions. Building from the 2022 exhibition, ‘Zenana Mardana’, curated by Pomme Gohar, [Un]Framing Gender offers a vibrant space for conversation and introspection, encouraging audiences to reconsider the intersections of culture, power, and personal expression, transcending geographical boundaries and challenging cultural stereotypes.
Exhibition on view: June 5 – July 27, 2025
This show is a curatorial collaboration by Tess Howsam (Artistic Director, Culture Lab LIC, America) and Pomme Gohar (Creative Director, Phenomena, Pakistan).

Pass the Crown: Voices & Memory at Culture Lab LIC
2025-06-05 18:00 - 2025-07-27 14:00 | Culture Lab LIC, 5-25 46th Avenue, Long Island City, New York, NY, 11101, United States
Opening Reception: June 5, 6-9pm. Beer, wine, food and live music. Free Admission.
On view June 5 – July 27 during gallery hours, Thursday & Friday, 5-9pm, and Saturday & Sunday, 2-9pm.
​Pass the Crown: Voices & Memory is an interactive media installation exploring dementia, memory, and legacy within communities of color. Expanding on the Pass the Crown photo portrait series, the project was inspired by the artist Pri’s late grandmother, who had dementia and wore a crown in the final photo portrait taken of her by the artist. That crown became a symbol of resilience, memory, and dignity. That very same crown is now passed from model to model within the Pass the Crown photo series, with each model impacted by dementia, representing the continuation of their stories. Drawing from over a decade of experience as a dementia caregiver of both her grandmother and aunt, the artist creates an interactive experience that invites audiences to engage with personal histories.
The installation features five large-scale editorial portraits, each framed with symbolic materials reflecting the subject’s life. An interactive timeline highlights key moments, while Augmented Reality (AR) allows visitors to unlock deeper layers of each story through images, audio, and personal artifacts. Pass the Crown: Voices & Memory honors the strength, wisdom, and love that endure beyond memory loss, preserving the legacies of those affected and inspiring conversations about care, connection, and the power of storytelling.

This interactive dance-based workshop invites students to explore the physicality of bullying through movement. Using body language, group dynamics, and nonverbal communication, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how exclusion and connection manifest physically. Through guided exercises, students will embody both isolation and support, cultivating empathy and awareness in a creative, accessible way.
No dance experience necessary—just a willingness to move and connect.

Our Guarantee: These tiny trees are so hardy we guarantee you can keep yours alive, or we’ll replace it.
This workshop will be hosted at Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden. Many Czechs and Slovaks in the 1800s left Austria-Hungary, settling in Astoria, Queens. In 1892, they formed the Bohemian Citizens’ Benevolent Society to honor the medieval Kingdom of Bohemia (now the Czech Republic). Funds were raised and in 1910 two lots were purchased for a haven to maintain traditions of the homeland. On Oct. 1, 1910, Bohemian Hall's cornerstone was laid. Three parts were built: an entrance, Sokol Gym (Main Hall), and outside Bar/Park. At one time, over 800 beer gardens were still in NYC, and Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden remains today to keep the proud tradition alive into the new millennium!
Under 21 policy: Please contact Rhode Island Spirits for details regarding underage entry

SculptureCenter Book Launch with Artist Rafael Domenech
2025-06-12 18:30 - 20:00 | SculptureCenter, 44-19 Purves Street, Long Island City, New York, 11101
“Rafael Domenech: Flowers Blooming on Acid” is the first comprehensive monograph of Rafael Domenech’s work. Join Domenech and SculptureCenter curator Jovanna Venegas for a conversation around several of his recent projects featured in the book, including his 2020 SculptureCenter exhibition “Model to exhaust this place (SculptureCenter Pavilion).”
Designed by the artist and published by Isométrico Publications and 193 Gallery, this volume was released in conjunction with Domenech’s first solo exhibition in Paris, curated by Jérôme Sans at 193 Gallery. The publication includes an essay by Sans, a conversation between him and Domenech, as well as a series of projects that trace the artist’s journey across time and geographies.
Copies of “Rafael Domenech: Flowers Blooming on Acid” will be available for sale during the event.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Rafael Domenech (b. 1989, Havana, Cuba) is a visual artist working within site-specific installations, including pavilions, artist books, texts, public programs, and sculptures. His work is deeply rooted in notions of architecture/publishing and their ability to shape and inform our lived experiences. Through his works, from immersive installations to experimental publications and artist books, Domenech explores the overlapping frictions between art, design, the built environments, and the community it inhabits.
Recent exhibitions include the 58th Carnegie International, Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; The Institute for Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond; Passerelle Centre d’Art Contemporain, Brest, France; and the Museum of Art and Design (MOAD), Miami.
