Memory & Monuments Open House

How do we remember on this campus and beyond? At this afternoon-long open house, UMMA and our partners at Monument Lab and the U-M Arts Initiative, invite you to explore the ways memory takes shape through monuments, markers, and the stories we tell. 

Event highlights include:

In celebration of a year of examining the changing nature of monuments with Curator-in-Residence Paul Farber, Director of Monument Lab and the new exhibition You’re Welcome by Cannupa Hanska Luger.  

A partnership between UMMA, the Arts Initiative, Stamps Gallery, and “Under the Campus, the Land” series of conversations by Taubman College faculty Andrew Herscher.
