Lani Asunción

Lani Asunción is a queer Filipinx multimedia and performance artist based in Boston, with a studio at Midway Artist Studios in the Fort Point Arts neighborhood. Informed by multimedia technologies and archival research, their socially conscious practice is rooted in public art and performance and centers environmental justice and community engagement through participatory performances, large-scale sculptural installations, and experimental video and sound in the form of transmedia ritual and storytelling. Their work explores identity and belonging and counter-narratives of communal resistance to settler colonial systems. Asunción was curator and public art manager of the 2024–2025 Un-monument initiative for Pao Arts Center in partnership with the City of Boston, and is a 2026 Neighborhood Salon Luminary at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Their work appears in "Flesh Witness" at REDCAT in Los Angeles.
