Monument Lab Re:Generation supports a 2026 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 ongoing commitment to expanding the American commemorative landscape, the Re:Generation initiative emphasizes field building through 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.
