Everyone deserves to feel safe in a neighborhood where they live and work. Joanna Tam honors the resilient history of Boston Chinatown residents and inspires the community to continue its civic engagement tradition. Imagine Safety is a participatory project that amplifies the voices of Chinatown community members on the issue of safety. It provides a space to heal from the impacts of environmental injustice, highway development, institutional expansion, and housing insecurity through the sharing and imagining of what a safe Chinatown looks like. 

Imagine Safety is part of the Un-monument | Re-monument | De-monument: Transforming Boston Project presented by Pao Arts Center, curated by Lani Asunción, and funded by the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture, and the City of Boston with the support from the Mellon Foundation. 

This event is part of partner ACDC’s Summer Picnic.
