“We've all seen videos of citizens around the country taking matters into their own hands when it comes to monuments of oppression.
However, rarely do we hear from these individuals and the communities or organizations they represent.
Additionally, what is the history of altering monuments?
Is this a new phenomenon, or is this just the latest iteration of a common response to changing times?
Today The Monumental Project sits down 3 important figures in the historic space conversation, both in activism and academia.
Art historian Erin Thompson, community organizer Mike Forcia and Commissioner Tami Sawyer will all be giving their opinions on their field of work, their most memorable moments, how they feel about the current state of public demonstrations. And most importantly, what they want to see changed for the future. These are the necessary conversations that can move the discourse forward.
This is The Monumental Project.
