Assembling Chinatown’s History

Place of Assembly

Place of Assembly is a public art installation by local architect Ang Li, located at 8-12 Hudson street, right in the heart of Chinatown. The interactive display features various stoop-like structures, open for visitors to hang out and sit on, all assembled with repurposed bricks from demolished row homes. Guests from all over Boston came to gather during its November 6th unveiling, hosted by the Asian Community Development Corporation. Li aspired to help preserve and share the neighborhood’s history with Place of Assembly, stating, “It’s been exciting to plug into this…and consider how to recreate this social environment that isn’t really there anymore.” 

Place of Assembly

Place of Assembly can be visited through mid-December on Fridays from 9am – 5pm.
