“Chinatown Worker Statues" is a project that was first conceived in 2019 with a proposal to the "Public Art for Spatial Justice" grant from New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA). In 2022, the proposed project was picked up by Boston Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture (MOAC), with a secured City buget of $1,000,000 for its realization. When complete, it is to be 4 life-size sets of bronze statues to be installed as permanent public art in prominent public spaces in Boston’s Chinatown. They are to commemorate and to pay tribute to workers who performed historically essential labor that provided livelihood in the Chinese immigrant community. The workers to be recognized are: a laundryman; a restaurant-worker; a garment-worker; and a grandmother carer for a child. The figures, completed as maquettes, are currently being enlarged to be modelled in clay to life-size. The sculptures when done will be be sent to a sculpture foundry to be cast into bronze. When inatalled as public monuments, they will serve to honor a broad range of working people of Boston.
