Since 1990, the Gay Asian Pacific Islander Men of New York (GAPIMNY) has worked to empower queer and trans A\/P\/A people to create positive change through a range of social, educational, peer-support, cultural, and political activities. On the occasion of the organization\u2019s 25th birthday, GAPIMNY\u2019s records, which include video footage, flyers, and more documenting queer A\/P\/A history in New York, have been donated to the NYU Tamiment Library & Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives, where they will be preserved and made accessible to community members, researchers, and students.<\/p>\n

Current and former GAPIMNY co-chairs offer reflections on the organization\u2019s 25-year history and visions for the future. Leeroy Kun Young Kang contextualizes the significance of GAPIMNY\u2019s Records in regards to queer A\/P\/A community-based archives and history in New York City. Tim Johnson (Head, Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives), Tim Naftali (Co-director, NYU Center for the United States and the Cold War and Associate Professor, NYU Wagner), and Jack Tchen (Founding Director, A\/P\/A Institute) offer welcome remarks, and an exhibition chronicling the organization\u2019s history, curated by A\/P\/A Graduate Archives Scholar Paul Tran, Jason Tseng (GAPIMNY), and Dennis Chin (GAPIMNY) will be on display.<\/p>\n

Event is free! Reservation is required.
