Monument Lab is thrilled to announce the recipients of our Annual Monumental Awards – Declaration House’s Sonya Clark will receive the 2024 Monumental Artist Award, and Monument Lab co-founder Ken Lum will receive the 2024 Monumental Changemaker Award.
From July 18-19 2024, the Monument Lab Summit in Philadelphia will bring together thought leaders influencing and innovating the monument landscape through groundbreaking forms of commemoration, acknowledgment, justice, and belonging.
Monument Lab Re:Generation supports a 2024 cohort of ten teams working to create new or to expand existing public art, public history, or public humanities projects. Each selected Re:Generation team receives a total of $100,000 in unrestricted funding towards their commemorative campaign or project rooted in the living history of a neighborhood, city, or region. As a central part of Monument Lab’s commitment to expanding the American commemorative landscape, Re:Generation emphasizes the selection of projects with creative representation and interpretation of erased, suppressed, or threatened stories and histories, particularly in states which have passed legislation limiting the teaching of accurate and diverse American history.
