“An exhilarating debut from a writer whose work I’ll always want to read.” —R.O. KWON Event guidelines: Additional copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event.

The conversation will be livestreamed for free online here: https://youtube.com/live/NElYh85Nagg Home address is collected for contact tracing purposes; it will not be used otherwise. As a reminder: If you are not feeling well, please do not come to the event, even if you have a ticket; email us and we'll work it out. If you have any questions regarding these guidelines or to request accessibility accommodations, please contact eventhelp@booksaremagic.net. This event will feature a conversation between Bobuq, Aria, and Sarah, followed by a special drag performance by Untitled Queen. In this wry, provocative debut, two gay Afghan men—cast out of their respective countries of birth by circumstances beyond their control—collide in Istanbul, a city that will test their willingness to sacrifice everything for the ones they love. When Delbar—a hapless twenty-something with dreams of becoming a drag queen—is spectacularly outed, he flees the insular immigrant-dense suburbs of Washington, DC to seek refuge with his sympathetic aunt in Istanbul. There, he discovers a vibrant community of dissidents, sex workers, activists, poets, and heretics. Among them are Leif and his boyfriend, Mansur, with whom Delbar quickly develops a blazing fascination. But Mansur also nurses a wounded heart, having left his own family, and his first love, behind in Iran. This time, Mansur’s learned not to dream bigger than his own survival. He’ll keep a low profile, work hard to send money back, and remain faithful to Leif—at least until his refugee status is granted. When riot police descend on attendees of the annual Istanbul Pride march, Mansur and Delbar are thrust into dangerous proximity. With the country surging into authoritarianism, each person must ask themselves: what constitutes a life well-lived, and how high is the price of freedom? Told through the alternating viewpoints of Delbar and Mansur, Bobuq Sayed’s debut is a story of borders and boundaries transgressed, and a seductive exploration of what it means to make a home at the margins of society. At once an immigrant family saga, a thwarted love story, and a searing portrait of politics made intimately personal, No God but Us is an ambitious introduction to a bold new voice. Bobuq Sayed is the author of A Brief History of Australian Terror and the novel No God but Us. They were a 2022–23 Steinbeck fellow at San José State University, a Lambda Literary scholar, and an award-winning James A. Michener fellow in the University of Miami's MFA program. Bobuq currently lives in New York City. Aria Aber was born and raised in Germany and now lives in the United States. Her debut poetry collection, Hard Damage, won the Prairie Schooner Book Prize and the Whiting Award. She is a former Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford and graduate student at USC, and her writing has appeared in The New Yorker , New Republic , The Yale Review , Granta , and elsewhere. Raised speaking Farsi and German, she writes in her third language, English. She recently joined the faculty of the University of Vermont as an assistant professor of Creative Writing and divides her time between Vermont and Brooklyn. Good Girl is her debut novel. Sarah Schulman is a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, nonfiction writer, and AIDS historian. She is the author of 21 books and is on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace. Sarah holds an endowed chair in Creative Writing at Northwestern University. Untitled Queen is a Boricua / Filipinx drag artist residing on the stolen land of Lenapehoking (so-called Brooklyn). She tells decolonial stories through emotive performances combining poetry, sound, projection, and installation. Along with her collaborator Jess Ramsay, she produces and hosts an experimental drag art competition called, "Untitled (Art Star)" at C'mon Everybody in Bedstuy.

Join us for an evening with Zheng Shengtian, Kuiyi Shen, and Jane DeBevoise. Please come to AAAinA at 6:30pm on Tuesday, May 26 to hear artist, curator, and former China Art Academy professor Shengtian Zheng speak about his experience creating and teaching 连环画 lianhuanhua , followed by a conversation with U.C. San Diego professor Kuiyi Shen , moderated by Jane DeBevoise . Lianhuanhua are palm-sized picture books that emerged in China in the early 1900s as popular forms of entertainment, much like comics. After 1949 and the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, Mao Zedong mandated that art, including comics, should serve the people. For the next 30 years, artists were enlisted to illustrate these little picture books with images of valiant workers, victorious PLA soldiers and model citizens, often women. Hundreds of millions of copies were published. But when the Cultural Revolution ended in 1976 and the political environment relaxed, classical legends, love stories, and Western sci-fi, including Star Wars , quickly replaced the heroic exploits of workers, peasants and soldiers, and the popularity of lianhuanhua surged. A selection of lianhuanhua from the 1920s to 1989 will be on display in the AAAinA reading room during the program. Bios: Zheng Shengtian is an artist, scholar, and curator based in Vancouver. Before 1990, he worked at the China Academy of Art as Professor and Chair of the Oil Painting Department. He was a visiting professor at the University of Minnesota and San Diego State University, Secretary of the Annie Wong Art Foundation, Founding Board Director of the Vancouver International Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, and the Adjunct Director of the Institute of Asian Art at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Currently, he is the Managing Editor of Yishu: Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art , a trustee of Asia Art Archive in America and a Research Fellow at Simon Fraser University. Zheng has organized and curated numerous exhibitions and events, and has frequently contributed to periodicals and catalogues. In 2013, Zheng Shengtian: Selected Writing on Art was published in four volumes by China Academy Press. His latest publications include Sino-Mexican Art and Cultural Exchanges in the Twentieth Century (Cambria Press, 2024) and a Chinese version. In 2011 he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for curatorial work by the Vancouver Biennale. In 2013 He received an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from Emily Carr University of Art + Design. In 2025 he was given The King Charles III Coronation Medal for his contribution to the community. Kuiyi Shen is Professor of Asian Art History, Theory, and Criticism at UC San Diego. His teaching and writing has focused on Chinese and Japanese art with an emphasis on modern and contemporary Chinese art and Sino-Japanese art exchanges in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He received a BA in fine arts from the Shanghai Normal University and an MA and PhD in art history from the Ohio State University. Shen is the author and co-author of many books and exhibition catalogues on modern and contemporary Chinese art, including A Century in Crisis: Tradition and Modernity in the Art of Twentieth Century China (1998); Between the Thunder and the Rain: Chinese Paintings from the Opium War to the Cultural Revolution (2000); Zhou Brothers—Thirty Years of Collaboration (2004); Reboot: The Third Chengdu Biennale (2007); Chinese Posters (2009); Arts of Modern China (2012, winner of the 2013 ICAS Book Prize in Humanities), Echo of the Universe: Ink Art of Liu Kuo-sung (2016); Li Huayi: Landscapes from a Master’s Heart (2018) and many others. Jane DeBevoise is President and Chair of Asia Art Archive in America in New York and Chair Emeritus of Asia Art Archive in Hong Kong. Prior to moving to Hong Kong in 2002, Ms. DeBevoise was Deputy Director of the Guggenheim Museum, responsible for museum operations and exhibitions globally. She joined the Museum in 1996 as Project Director of China: 5000 Years , a large-scale exhibition of traditional and modern Chinese art that was presented in 1998 at the Guggenheim museums in New York and Bilbao. Prior to 1996, Ms. DeBevoise was Managing Director at Bankers Trust Company where she worked for 14 years in New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo and London. With a MA from the University of California, Berkeley and a PhD from The University of Hong Kong, Ms. DeBevoise writes and lectures widely. Her publications include Between State and Market: Chinese Contemporary Art in the Post-Mao Era (2014) and the co-authored Uncooperative Contemporaries: Exhibitions in Shanghai in 2000 (2020).

Copyright in the 21st Century. How did we get here? Whats new in the field thanks to or despite of AI? What comes next? Center for Art Law will host its Annual Art Law Conference on May 27, 2026 in person at Brooklyn Law School and online via Zoom. The 2026 conference will focus on copyright law as it relates to visual art, artificial intelligence, and the rapidly evolving legal landscape of the 21st century. The program will begin with a keynote address, followed by three substantive panels designed to build on one another throughout the afternoon. In addition, we will host a curated group of exhibitors featuring databases, legal tools, and technology platforms relevant to artists’ rights, copyright, and AI. The program will conclude with a reception, providing time for continued discussion, networking, and engagement among speakers, exhibitors, and attendees. The opening panel will examine the current state of copyright law in the visual arts and the practical challenges facing artists, galleries, institutions, and practitioners. Subsequent panels will address artificial intelligence, recent legislative and regulatory developments, the role of the U.S. Copyright Office, and emerging questions around licensing, enforcement, and appropriation in a contemporary digital environment. The conference convenes artists, attorneys, scholars, collectors, arts administrators, students, and policy professionals for in-depth and timely discussion, and will be accompanied by a silent auction and exhibitor networking opportunities. Tentative Schedule and Agenda: 11:30 AM – Check-in opens 12:00 – 12:10 PM – Opening Remarks 12:10 – 12:40 PM – Keynote Address by Ben Zhao , Neubauer Professor of Computer Science at University of Chicago and Founder, Nightshade & Glaze 12:45 – 2:00 PM – Panel 1: So Inappropriate — Lessons About Copyright Law and Art: First There Was Art, Then Copyright, Then Fair Use… and Now AI? From early copyright doctrines to contemporary fair use debates, this panel examines how artists and lawyers have navigated questions of ownership, appropriation, and originality in visual art. Panelists will explore key developments in copyright law affecting traditional artistic practices, from borrowing and remixing to transformative use, while also considering how emerging technologies, including AI, are beginning to reshape long‑standing legal frameworks and artistic norms. Moderator: Irina Tarsis , Founder, Center for Art Law Speakers: Vivek Jayaram , Founder, Jayaram Law; Vincent Wilcke , Pace Gallery; G reg Allen , Artist and writer 2:00 – 2:15 PM – AI & Authenticity: Standards, Trust and Evidence: Amaya Aramburu , Client Relations & Business Development, Art Recognition This presentation examines the role of artificial intelligence in art authentication, positioning AI as an analytical layer alongside connoisseurship, forensics, and provenance research. Rather than focusing on technical implementation, it highlights how AI is used in practice. It situates these approaches within the broader art market, where questions of trust, disclosure, and standards are increasingly central. Drawing on Art Recognition’s experience and its collaboration with the Center for Art Law, the talk outlines approaches to the responsible and accountable use of AI in this context. It concludes by opening a dialogue around ongoing questions at the intersection of art, technology, and law. 2:15 – 2:30 PM – Break 2:30 – 3:45 PM – Panel 2: The Copyright Office Weighs In — Three Reports on AI and the Law This panel examines the U.S. Copyright Office’s three recent reports on artificial intelligence and copyright, unpacking what they clarify, and what they leave unresolved about authorship, ownership, and protection in the age of AI. Panelists will also situate these reports within the broader legal landscape, touching on emerging litigation and contested issues shaping how AI‑generated and AI‑assisted works are treated under current copyright law. Moderator: Atreya Mathur , Director of Legal Research, Center for Art Law Speakers: Miriam Lord , Associate Register of Copyrights and Director of Public Information and Education; Ben Zhao , Neubauer Professor of Computer Science at University of Chicago and Founder, Nightshade & Glaze; Katherine Wilson-Milne , Partner, Schindler Cohen & Hochman LLP 3:45 – 4:00 PM – Break 4:00 – 5:15 PM – Panel 3: Registration Is Dead? Long Live Licensing? As copyright enforcement becomes more complex, this panel explores the evolving role of registration and the growing importance of licensing agreements in protecting creative works. Panelists will discuss how artists, rights holders, and legal practitioners navigate enforcement today, examining when registration still matters, how licensing structures are being used strategically, and what effective rights management looks like in a shifting legal and art market landscape. Moderator: Carol J. Steinberg , Art, Copyright & Entertainment Law Attorney, Faculty, School of Visual Arts Speakers: J ane t Hicks , Vice President and Director of Licensing, Artists Rights Society; Yayoi Shionoiri , art lawyer and Vice President of External Affairs and General Counsel at Powerhouse Arts; Martin Cribbs , Intellectual Property Licensing Strategist 5:15 – 5:30 PM – Closing Remarks by Lindsay Korotkin , Partner, ArentFox Schiff 5:30 – 7:00 PM – Networking Reception and Silent Auction Results (Only In-Person not on Zoom) Substantive portion of the program is pending 3 CLE credits approval.
