Can monuments contribute to democratic values? In many places in the world, monuments are now critically examined, where they were supposed to stand for a glorious history, that history has now caught up with them.
But what happens after a monument collapses when society no longer want to stand for for example racist values? And can monuments transmit democratic values instead?
