As part of Greater New York, Flushing, Queens-based collective Red Canary Song presents their Homeroom project Touch the Heart. The grassroots collective is led by migrant massage and sex workers across the Asian diaspora, and formed in 2017 in response to the death of Yang Song, a migrant Chinese massage worker killed during a police raid in Queens. Advocating for essential safety measures, they protested against police violence and argued for the decriminalization of unlicensed massage labor and sex work. Since then, Red Canary Song has expanded into a mutual aid network that foregrounds the experiences of directly impacted workers, providing groceries, cash assistance, translation services, and connection to legal support and person-first health care. Amid ongoing raids and mass deportations, Red Canary Song continues to organize across shifting conditions of visibility.

The Courtyard Commission series is a major new program that invites an artist to transform the museum’s courtyard. For the inaugural Courtyard Commission, Precious Okoyomon (Nigerian-American, b. 1993) will produce a living forest featuring a large-scale, interactive bear sculpture—the artist’s signature motif—which resembles an oversized children’s toy. The forest, developed in collaboration with the nursery issima, will grow into an ever-morphing woodland of trees, exotic flowers, weeds, and boulders. Visitors are invited to venture into the bear’s body, where they can experience a multi-sensory installation before exiting through its mouth.
