Lantern Stories is a public art installation that celebrates the past, present, and future of Boston’s Chinatown community. First commissioned by the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy in 2020, artist Yu-Wen Wu created thirty-one lanterns to illuminate Boston Chinatown’s history, culture and resiliency. For the 2022 iteration of Lantern Stories on The Greenway, Wu designed new imagery for her previous lanterns Stop Asian Hate, Exclusion Act, and Lions, as well as worked with artists from both Boston and San Francisco to create five new lanterns that begin a bicoastal dialogue with Wu’s concurrent West Coast iteration of Lantern Stories in San Francisco’s Chinatown, opening September 2022. This project was commissioned and supported by the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy
