MONUMENTAL, presented by Design Akademie Saaleck

At this pivotal moment, as we reckon with and reimagine public monuments around the globe, we invite expert design, art and architecture practitioners to reflect on the responsibility of communicating complex histories and creating spaces for healing. What stories do the monuments we erect tell? And whose voices are excluded or included? The panel conversation delves into the future of monuments in public spaces and the ways they can represent a more inclusive story of humankind-past, present, and future.
This Talk features Architect and Designer; Founder, Studio Barnes; and 2023 Artistic Director of dieDAS Germane Barnes, Architect & Designer Nina Cooke John, Artist & Designer Adam Nathaniel Furman, and Principal of Public Memory & Memorials Lab at MASS Jha D Amazi
This Talk was filmed live at Design Miami/ 2023.
