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:
- Regional memory practitioners, including The James and Grace Lee Boggs Center, the Detroit Sound Conservancy, Gidinawemaaganinaanig: Endazhigiyan (All My Relations: The Place Where We All Grow), and Mt. Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School (MIIBS) will share their work and prompt us to consider what’s worthy of a monument and whose history gets to be included.
- Flower-making for all ages with Monument Lab partner Aubree Penney.
- Live recording of the podcast Broken Boxes by Ginger Dunhill and Cannupa Hanska Luger, with artists Andrea Carlson and Matika Wilbur, 3-4 p.m. in the UMMA Auditorium.
- snacks by Indigenous chef Kirby Shoote (Tlingit).
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.
