About the lecture

Making Monuments Matter in 21st Century Democracies: Creating Sites for Critical Discourse, Social Justice, and Community Building

What do monuments do in democracies, what do those who create and commission them expect of these works, and how do people perceive and react towards them? How can monuments be active tools to make democracies more democratic?

More information on the Cuny Graduate Center website

Tanja Schult, Associate professor of Art History at Stockholm University, and Tim Cole, Professor of Social History at University of Bristol, work together in the research project Rethink and Reload – Monuments in 21st Century Democracies, financed by the Swedish Research Council.
