N+T Asks: What role do artists play in reimagining the construction of our public space?

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on monuments and memory!

Building on our last conversation in partnership with Goethe-Institut Boston on global monuments, this panel asks, What role artists play in reimagining the construction of our public spaces? Exploring how artists can intervene with monuments and create new modes of commemoration and community, artists Mischa Kuball and Juan Obando will share their respective practices. Inspired by localized collective action in communities worldwide, they will discuss current and upcoming projects that consider the afterlife of a monument as well as alternative approaches to visualizing site-specific trauma. 

After brief presentations from the artists, Devin Morris from the Teacher's Lounge will moderate a discussion about reimagining the future of monuments.

This in-person panel will happen Tuesday, April 19, 7:30 pm at the Goethe-Institut Boston, 170 Beacon Street, Boston MA. This event is free and open to all. Pre-registration required.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the Goethe-Institut Boston for an in-person event, but if you find you cannot make it, you are invited to watch the live-stream at youtube.com/GoetheInstitutBoston.

Additional support for this panel series is being provided by New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA).
