Active Chapter is an art and publishing collective based in New York, founded by Max Chu, Lucia Mumma, Eka Savajol, and XY Zhou. As artists and educators coming from a wide breadth of artistic disciplines, we strive for accessibility both in publishing and distribution—rethinking what it means to “publish” and pushing the boundaries of what a “book” can be. Our work focuses on transdisciplinary editorial styles, publishing across mediums, and collecting community stories that are often overlooked. We believe in community through friendship, and knowledge through community.
We have hosted workshops, including playwriting workshops and workshops for older adults, at venues like University Settlement Society and Hive Mind Books, with support from organizations like the Asian American Arts Alliance and the Lucille Lortel Theater. -

Our journey began as classmates in university biology labs, where we studied the patterns and details of life. One day, we teamed up on a design project and discovered a shared passion for creativity.
That experience grew into Biology Friends Club, a studio inspired by lab research, our fluffy friends and the goal of celebrating the beauty of science and imagination. -
Hi! I'm Mai (pronounced "my"). Growing up, I often felt disconnected from my Asian identity. Now, as a mother, I want a different experience for my daughters—one where they feel proud of their Vietnamese and Chinese heritages and curious about the diverse cultures around them. But after years of distancing myself from my roots, I've often felt unsure about how to guide them.
Inspired by my daughters, I created Bo & Mei to make cultural learning accessible and joyful for everyone. Through thoughtfully designed creative activities, Bo & Mei is dedicated to fostering a world where every child feels a sense of pride and belonging in their unique cultural identities. -

We are Clara and Flora. We are close friends who grew up in Hong Kong, lived internationally, and are now based in Brooklyn, New York.
For close to two decades in the US, we craved eating char siu (叉燒). Char siu is an iconic Hong Kong dish: juicy, thick-cut slices of meat (typically pork) glistening beneath a caramelized, charred coat, striking the perfect balance between sweet and savory, with a hint of rose wine fragrance and a depth no other barbecue reaches.
Then the pandemic hit. When some people tested sourdough recipes, we decided to make char siu.
Char siu is famously hard to cook (IYKYK). We tried store-bought sauces and recipes we found online, but nothing gave us consistent results. So we decided to take matters into our own hands.
Our shared desire to eat authentic Hong Kong-style char siu set us on a five-year quest to perfect the recipe, squeezed in over nights and weekends around our careers in law and tech. After many tastings, countless iterations, and validating it with our closest friends (and often harshest critics!), we finally landed on a flavor that tastes just like home.
That’s when it hit us. If we couldn’t find it on the shelves, we’d have to put it there ourselves — so more people could make authentic char siu at home in a few simple steps, and take the flavor even further as a marinade, a glaze, a stir-fry sauce, or even a dip.
All our products are made in small batches, right here in Brooklyn.
Born in Hong Kong. Made in Brooklyn. We are just getting started and excited to bring you on our journey! -

I am a Taiwanese American artist born in California and raised in Singapore. Shaped by my experience as a Third Culture Kid, my work reflects a life lived across cultures and perspectives using different media—painting, jewelry, and designed goods. Through unexpected juxtapositions, my art combines places, objects, and cultural references from different experiences to reveal new relationships between the familiar and the unexpected. Drawing from the colors, textures, and memories from my childhood through to the present day, my creative practice has become an ongoing exploration of memory, place, and the many influences that shape how we see the world and connect with others.

DOTI stands for Daughters of Taiwan and Indonesia, the two roots behind everything we make. We're Erica and Ima. For Ima, who grew up Indonesian, sambal was home: an everyday staple and one of the ways her mother showed love without having to say it. Erica grew up Taiwanese and found sambal on a trip to Indonesia, where its bold, fresh flavor made her feel alive again. One of us grew up with sambal. One discovered it. That shared spark became DOTI. Every batch is hand-fried in small batches in New York City: a spoonable, aromatic finishing sauce that's flavor first, heat second, made to make everyday food feel alive. Two flavors, Original and Tomato.

Hei Butter is black sesame peanut butter, made in small batches in Brooklyn. The name comes from hei zhi ma (黑芝麻), black sesame in Chinese. The brand started with a memory: a grandmother’s tang yuan filling (black sesame, sugar, lard, walnuts) ground into a flavor that’s rich, nutty, and hard to forget.
The urgency came later. After emergency kidney surgery in her late 20s, founder Kathy started taking seriously what she’d grown up watching her grandmother live by: that food is medicine, and that the ingredients passed down through generations usually know something we’ve forgotten. Black sesame was one of them.
The mission is simple: black sesame nut butter deserves to be in every kitchen as an everyday staple, with more calcium and iron than peanut butter and a flavor that earns its place on your morning toast. -

Our story began in Hong Kong, where two ordinary girls growing up in the ’90s followed strict school rules and traditional Asian parenting. Jewelry was once a little luxury beyond our reach. After college, we finally embraced our freedom, and our love for earrings grew into an obsession. From local boutiques to premium brands, and on earring hunts across South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand, we discovered that finding the perfect pair is like finding Cinderella’s glass slippers. Luxury doesn’t always mean comfort, and affordable doesn’t mean compromising on cuteness or quality.
In 2019, we moved to New York City, a melting pot of cultures, arts, and endless possibilities. While we admired its world-class jewelry brands, we noticed that affordable, cute, and dainty pieces were not as accessible as they were back home. We began to wonder: why not bring the jewelry we love to more people in the U.S.?
JOGI NO YUME was born from that dream — to make affordable, high-quality, irresistibly cute jewelry accessible to everyone who shares our love for these little treasures -
I grew up around mouth-watering Chinese cooking at home, taking in techniques and tastes as a fourth-generation American in the Los Angeles suburbs. After immersing myself in the rigor of traditional patisserie in Paris (including study under Jacques Genin), I felt ready to reconnect with the flavor inheritances of my upbringing. A playful new chapter of caramel development emerged, along with the joyfully expansive experiences of queer family making and fatherhood. I discovered a sweet purpose: to connect with the elements of life worth savoring.

Lumpy grew out of the small moments that made us - wandering through Asian markets as kids, soaking in the colors, the textures, the smell of the fish counter that hit you before you even turned the corner. That feeling never left.
We make homes goods all centered around playful nostalgia. Designed in-house, handmade in Philadelphia, small batch by choice. We think hard about form, material, and what makes an object actually feel like something worth keeping.
We're big fans of the imperfect. The lopsided, the a-little-off, the proudly lumpy. This is our love letter to where we came from. Thoughtful but not too serious, playful but made with real care.
Now come get these lumps, baby!

She loves working with different mediums such as acrylic, watercolor, collages, etc. In her arts, you can often spot these little things that get easily overlooked in life and be reminded to look out for the magics around and within us.
Being bilingual (Cantonese & English) also plays a big part in her arts as a bridge to connect with a wider community in New York, so that we can learn from each other in a fun and visual way. She now carries on to explore the city with her arts and often collaborates with other talents and small local businesses in town, as well as doing projects in the communities. -

Today we continue to make unique and beautiful pieces to carry through life.

Persim Studio was founded by Sunny Zhong, a first-generation Chinese American who grew up in NYC. A product designer for digital experiences by day, she has long wanted to design physical objects. She is drawn to home goods that are both beautiful and meaningful – such as drinkware, travel keepsakes, and family heirlooms. She treasures pieces that bridge the past and present, holding onto the traditions that shaped her as she enters new chapters of life.
Sunny founded Persim in 2025 to create objects that carry those values. Its first product, the Daily Tear-off Calendar, is a modern take on the lunisolar almanac rooted in Chinese tradition. The 2026 edition sold out and was featured in Design Milk’s “20 Modern Calendars for 2026.” Persim has since grown to include a frosted vase that represents growth and a swan filet crochet tapestry that celebrates slowness and intentionality. -

I started VerdPress because I know how easy it is to put your health last.
What began as making fresh juice for my mom while she navigated cancer and lupus eventually became a ritual for my family. When I was diagnosed with lupus myself, I started thinking differently about my own health. Between client deadlines, stress, and everyday responsibilities, there's always something that feels more urgent than taking care of yourself.
That's why I created VerdPress, a functional wellness brand making fresh, small batch juices that go beyond basic nutrition. By incorporating functional ingredients like Lion's Mane and collagen peptides, we're creating blends designed to support focus, hydration, skin health, and everyday well being. -
