Lunchbox moments are the formative occurrences in many Asian American kids' lives where a traditional Asian meal is eaten at school and peers in the lunchroom have some reaction, whether it be positive or negative. In order to share these stories and empower the AAPI community, artist Amie Bantz has created Lunchbox Moments: Seek Understanding. Share Stories. Stop Hate. For this exhibition, Bantz collects narratives from members of the AAPI community and physically writes their stories onto spray-painted lunch boxes.

Wen-ti Tsen’s Chinatown Worker Statues project is to pay tribute to the workers who have uplifted Boston Chinatown through their essential labor over the many decades. This past spring, Tsen exhibited the 40%-scale clay models for this project, which has been thirty years in its conceiving. In this next phase of the project, he returns to the gallery to model in clay, the life-size statue of one of the figures, “Laundryman.” Once the four sets of statues are complete, they will be cast into bronze in a sculpture foundry, and subsequently installed permanently in prominent public sites across Chinatown.
