Lighting the Way: Exploring Lantern Stories in Boston’s Chinatown

Lighting the Way: Exploring ‘Lantern Stories’ in Boston’s Chinatown, features a conversation between Artist Yu-Wen Wu and Greenway Conservancy Director and Curator of Public Art, Lucas Cowan. Lantern Stories consists of 30 lanterns suspended over the central plaza of Chin Park that portray Chinatown’s history of immigration, culture, and resiliency. Focusing on each individual lantern created for this exhibit, the artist will guide us through her vision and creative process.
