May 25th: Join us for a day of dim sum origami making and view our installation Touch the Heart @momaps1 Homeroom for The Greater New York Exhibition.
RSVP on the museum website.

During each workshop session, participants are invited to write a brief message-a wish, offering, or gesture of care-and fold it inside their paper dumpling. These messages may remain private, be shared, or exchanged, reflecting how care circulates quietly through community.

Workshops are welcome to all ages and will take place during 3 sessions throughout the day:

1–1:45 p.m.

2–2:45 p.m.

3–3:45 p.m.

With support from the @astoriaworkerproject , RCS is teaching migrant workers how to navigate the public transit system to access free spaces, such as libraries and museums. In line with our values, Nothing about Us, without Us, we are chaperoning workers to the exhibition throughout the season, to view and take ownership of the installation that their stories and guidance have supported.

Now open — “Red Canary Song: Touch the Heart” in Homeroom.

As part of Greater New York 2026, Queens-based collective @redcanarysong gathers stories of migration, care, and cultural heritage around dim sum tables in Homeroom.

“Touch the Heart,” a translation of the Cantonese phrase “dim sum,” unfolds through an installation that mirrors the infrastructures sustaining the collective’s community. Four dim sum dining tables illustrate stories of migration, bodily care and desire, grieving and longing, and provisions of cultural heritage.

Formed in 2017 after the death of Yang Song, a migrant Chinese massage worker killed during a police raid in Queens, Red Canary Song is a grassroots collective led by migrant massage and sex workers across the Asian diaspora. Advocating for the decriminalization of their labor, the collective also operates as a mutual aid network supporting directly impacted workers through groceries, cash assistance, translation services, and connections to legal support and person-first health care.

The presentation also features portraits memorializing workers who have passed and still lifes by artist @augustina_wang documenting the belongings of those who remain.

📍Plan your visit via the link in our bio. Admission is free for all!

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
