4 Chinatown residents + 2 artists + 2 neighborhood spaces = Residence Lab!

Through a series of Zoom workshops and co-creation sessions, the Residence Lab 2020 cohort worked to transform some of the most notoriously underutilized and unwelcoming corners of Chinatown into beloved, resident-centered spaces. 

Come discover the creative results of bringing artists and residents together to shape a rapidly changing Chinatown.

At 35 Kneeland St: Visit window art made by artist Maria Fong and residents Sylvia Chen and Po Chun Chow, advocating for safer streets in Chinatown and a reimagining of transportation and traffic in the neighborhood.

At 8 Hudson St: Explore a mural celebrating Chinatown’s culture and character by artist Krina Patel and residents Angela Soo Hoo and Dianyvet Serrano. Also, take a self-guided  walking tour through the eyes of Krina, Angela, and Dianyvet, visiting their favorite neighborhood spots.

This program is created in partnership with the Asian Community Development Corporation and Pao Arts Center. Residence Lab is generously funded by the Barr Foundation and ArtPlace America and supported by Tufts Medical Center.
