We are now accepting applications for a 2020 cohort of Monument Lab Transnational Fellows. This fellowship recognizes individuals whose ongoing projects address long term inequities in monuments and engage new creative approaches to public art, history, and memory.
A Call to Peace is a public art and history exhibition that asks the central question: What is a timely monument for Newark? Running October 3–November 11, 2019, the exhibition features temporary monuments and artworks; Thursdays Talks with artists, scholars, and activists; and an interactive research and engagement lab for participants to share their own speculative monument proposals and learn about the complex history of Military Park and the city of Newark.
We speak to Paul Ramírez Jonas about the idea of Public Noise, a new proposal where he inverts the idea of an equestrian monument and presents a stage for debating what it means to occupy and tangle with public space.
