Monument Lab Town Hall

Monument Lab Town Hall

On October 8 and 9 2020, we kicked off our project Shaping the Past with the Monument Lab Town Hall. This digital conference explored new models and practices for how we might shape the past in ways that continue to confront legacies of racist, sexist, and colonial systems of knowledge and to strengthen democracy through public spaces.  

Below you will find videos of the keynote conversations that took place, the graphic recording of the event as well as videos introducing the 2020 Shaping the Past fellows.
