Where We Meet: Imagining Gardens and Future
An exhibition inspired by community members who have cultivated and created greenspaces throughout the Chinatown Boston neighborhood
Where We Meet: Imagining Gardens and Futures was a collaborative exhibition between the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (ISGM) and Chinatown Boston’s first arts and cultural center, Pao Art Center. It featured work by three Asian Americans: Boston-based artists Yu-Wen Wu and Mel Taing, as well as New York-based sculptor Ming Fay.
In close collaboration with the ISGM and Pao, I designed the exhibition’s logotype and title wall, along with marketing collateral that visually tied into its concurrent partner exhibition Ming Fay: Edge of the Garden.

Between the Bricks: A Field Guide to Imagined Gardens
Notably, I also designed an accompanying zine Between the Bricks: A Field Guide to Imagined Gardens that was available digitally and physically at both exhibitions. The zine features original artwork by several local Asian American artists, as well as a map of community gardens between the ISGM and Pao. View the full digital zine here.
Where We Meet: Imagining Gardens and Futures was on exhibition at the Pao Arts Center—in collaboration with the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum—in Boston’s Chinatown from July 18–October 10, 2025. Learn more here.
