Responding to Lot Lab’s history and geography as a post-colonial military industrial shipyard that is adjacent to both the Boston Harbor waters and the Freedom Trail next to the USS Constitution Museum, Asunción and Tam’s projects are an extension of their ongoing explorations into the construction of national identity, safety, empowerment, and freedom in the wake of cultural and environmental oppression.
