Lives and works in Boston, MA, USA

Artist statement

Lani Asuncion (they/she) is a Boston based multimedia artist creating socially engaged art in public spaces. Weaving a visual language guided by historical research, community engagement, and experimental performance connected to their identity as a queer multiracial Filipinx, they use new media technologies to encourage conversation. The conversations magnify connections to facilitate healing in the face of cultural violence, oppression, and ancestral intergenerational trauma narratives.
