For more than 10 years, the Japanese government has pursued the Indo-Pacific Grand Strategy around the concept of a “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” — both to promote a rules-based regional and global order and to sustain stability and prosperity in the region. With President Trump in office for a second term (since January 2025) and the rift with China over Prime Minister Takaichi’s comment on Taiwan, Japan faces an even more uncertain foreign policy environment than in the past. Drawing on the recently published co-authored book “Japan’s Grand Strategy: Liminal Power in an Uncertain World,” Saori N. Katada and Kei Koga will discuss both the security and geoeconomic challenges Japan faces in its relations with the United States, and how they shape Japan’s grand strategy.

A haunting, powerful film about the absurdity and evil of war. Set in Central Russia during the Civil War of 1918, The Red and The White details the murderous entanglements between Russia’s Red soldiers and the counter-revolutionary Whites in the hills along the Volga. The epic conflict moves with skillful speed from a deserted monastery to a riverbank hospital to a final, unforgettable hillside massacre. The Red and The White is a moving visual feast where every inch of the Cinemascope frame is used to magnificent effect. With his brilliant use of exceptionally long takes, vast and unchanging landscapes and Tamas Somlo’s hypnotic black and white photography, Jancso gives the film the quality of a surreal nightmare. In the director’s uncompromising world, people lose all sense of identity and become hopeless pawns in the ultimate game of chance.

Join HYBA for a gentle, family-friendly introduction to Chinese green tea culture. Participants will begin with a short live guzheng music performance, discover the story behind the Chinese character for “tea” (茶), and explore tea through observation, aroma, and light tasting.

In this hands-on class, students will learn the art of traditional Chinese pulled noodles (lā miàn) alongside the preparation of a versatile “mother sauce” that forms the backbone of countless noodle dishes. Participants will explore dough development, gluten structure, and the rhythmic pulling technique that transforms a simple mixture of flour, water, and salt into long, elastic strands of noodles. The class culminates in assembling a complete dish, pairing freshly pulled noodles with a deeply flavored, adaptable sauce. Chinese pulled noodles trace their origins back over 4,000 years, with early evidence found during the Han Dynasty. Lā miàn, meaning “pulled noodles,” became especially prominent in Northern China, where wheat-based foods dominate. Over time, noodle-making evolved into both a culinary craft and a performance art, with skilled chefs stretching dough into hundreds of strands in a matter of seconds. The concept of a “mother sauce” reflects a broader Chinese cooking philosophy: mastering foundational sauces allows for endless variation across regional cuisines.

Experience the living pulse of Armenian folk culture through a captivating performance by Lernazang Ensemble, a collective of musicians, dancers, and ethnomusicologists dedicated to preserving and reimagining Armenian music and dance. Featuring the evocative sounds of duduk, oud, dhol, and voice, alongside Armenian dance, the ensemble brings to life the music and movement of Western Armenia (Anatolia) and the Southern Caucasus. Their approach aims to revitalize Armenian folk heritage by blending deep cultural research with striking artistic expression. Lernazang is a nonprofit organization, cultural collective, and performance ensemble based in Los Angeles. Their mission is to decolonize Armenian dance and music aesthetics while strengthening Armenian cultural heritage in the diaspora. Founded in 2017, Lernazang provides community dance classes, workshops, and performances throughout the Los Angeles area. Performing in the Armenian azgagrakan style, Lernazang merges critical academic inquiry and ethnographic research with intergenerational transmission in order to reshape Armenian identity in the post-genocide diaspora. Through an artistic approach that is grounded in both historical perspective and contemporary critique, Lernazang’s music and dance grapple with current social issues while enriching the cultural landscape of LA.

Safar: Finding Home, History, and Culture through Punjabi Food in the American West follows the journey of South Asian refugees, immigrants, and their children-in particular, Sikhs, Jats, and Muslims-who moved to the southwestern states of America over centuries as farmers, truck drivers, restaurant owners, and dhaba/diner stall cooks. An expedition in search of the asli-or real Punjabi food-Madhushree Ghosh explores how their food traveled from pre-partition British India to now, while weaving in her own immigrant journey as a graduate student to America in 1993, her quest to find home through the food of her Bengali refugee parents, and the physical journey she embarked on to visit the Punjabi communities in California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Focusing on four Punjabi women, each a part of a different immigration wave of South Asia to the American West, Ghosh highlights the food and recipes they brought with them that connect them to their pasts. Safar shares stories of displacement, discrimination, community, and hope, while shedding light on immigrant journeys and the true meaning of home, comfort food, and what constitutes a "true Punjabi" meal. Featuring essential recipes, this is a poignant reflection on what it means to find home and identity through food and culture as an immigrant to the United States.
