Join us for a stimulating conversation on some of the most pressing issues in contemporary urban landscape, encompassing design, civic engagement, and public art.This evening’s conversation will explore the role of monuments, commemoration, and collective memory, a recent topic of social debate.
In cities across the country and around the world, social protests have focused attention on the status of these public political acts of authorization.
They have demanded political accountability and, in some contexts, taken direct action to redress the presence of anachronistic, offensive, and exclusionary forms of public commemoration.
Leading voices, designers, and changemakers Jha D.
Amazi of MASS Design Group, Signe Nielsen of NYC Design Commission + Mathews Nielsen, and Sue Mobley of Monument Lab share their first-hand experiences in Boston, New York, and New Orleans witnessing the shift in favor for a more relevant, plural, and inclusionary approach to commemorating collective memory.
