A conversation with curators Kathrin Jentjens and Abigail Satinsky
Register for this Zoom Panel here!
As the Take Down movement continues, we also see calls for new monuments and memorials that make visible the erasure of peoples and communities. With more democratic design processes, and amplification of Black, Brown, and Indigenous experiences, are funding structures similarly shifting? What does the funding of memorials mean for restoring justice within the arts and built environment? Moderated by Devin Morris of the Teacher’s Lounge, this panel will bring local, national, and international perspectives together.
This panel is part of a series of conversations on public space and monuments we are presenting in cooperation with Now + There. The first two panels can be viewed here.
