The "abundance among us" table installation first created spaces for intergenerational gatherings in Boston's Chinatown in 2021. Co-designed by artist Sheila Novak and Chinatown resident Cass Li as part of Residence Lab, this functional artwork ensures that children and elders all have a seat at the same table, illustrating the abundance in community and emphasizing how individuals contribute to community power, regardless of their age. Joining the team this year, artist Wen-hao Tien’s new activity book for the Year of the Dragon called “dragons and friends” will guide the projects community event in mythical storytelling.
In the face of climate change, as urban spaces grow increasingly uninhabitable during summer heat waves, we must integrate immediate, tangible solutions into the public realm—interventions that lower temperatures and enhance quality of life for both humans and other species.
