The East Boston Spatial Justice Lab is a community-led project that addresses housing injustice by treating law, place, and cultural practice as interconnected systems. Through legal advocacy, popular education, art, and cultural organizing, the lab supports residents in reclaiming space, resisting displacement, and building collective power. Grounded in co-creation and lived experience, the project reimagines spatial justice as a participatory, interdisciplinary process of structural transformation. This project received support from the National Endowment for the Arts as a  Research Lab between 2023-2025. The project was scheduled for a renewal prior to the 2025 federal funding freezes. A publication about this project is in progress. Several publications and a co-edited book have been published between 2023-2025. An offshoot of this project is currently being supported by the Mellon Foundation.
