This event is in-person, free and open to the public.

How do we remember? At this afternoon-long open house, Monument Lab and our partners at UMMA and the U-M Arts Initiative, invite you to explore the ways memory takes shape through monuments, markers, and the stories we tell. 

Event highlights include:

• Regional memory practitioners, including The James and Grace Lee Boggs Center, the Detroit Sound Conservancy, Gidinawemaaganinaanig: Endazhigiyan (All My Relations: The Place Where We All Grow), and Mt. Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School (MIIBS) will share their work and prompt us to consider what’s worthy of a monument and whose history gets to be included. 
• Flower-making for all ages with Monument Lab partner Aubree Penney.
• Live recording of the podcast Broken Boxes by Ginger Dunhill and Cannupa Hanska Luger, with artists Andrea Carlson and Matika Wilbur, 3-4 p.m. in the UMMA Auditorium.
• Snacks by Indigenous chef Kirby Shoote (Tlingit).

In celebration of a year of examining the changing nature of monuments with Curator-in-Residence Paul Farber, Director of Monument Lab and the new exhibition You’re Welcome by Cannupa Hanska Luger.  

A partnership between UMMA, the Arts Initiative, Stamps Gallery, and “Under the Campus, the Land” series of conversations by Taubman College faculty Andrew Herscher.
