Paul Farber, cofounder of Philadelphia’s Monument Lab, visits the Wex to share the public art studio’s innovative, participatory approaches to public engagement and collective memory.

Working with artists, students, educators, activists, municipal agencies, and cultural institutions, Farber and his team are supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s Monuments Project, an initiative to “transform the way our country’s histories are told in public spaces.” Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from Farber about this critical work analyzing the power of memorials and reimagining commemorative spaces—including Monument Lab’s National Monument Audit—and its connection to community. 

Carmen Winant, artist and associate professor in Ohio State’s Department of Art, joins Farber in a Q&A following the talk. Can’t make it in person? The event also streams on this page, and online viewers can text a question via the Wex hotline at (614) 813-3416.
