This panel’s goals are to
explore the uses and understandings of art, monuments, and memorials in the
public space. Panelists will discuss the many histories represented in public
squares, parks, courthouses, and museums. The questions include both how these
material projects are understood by producers of the objects and by those who
observe them, including those who see themselves represented (or not) in the
built landscape. What claims and whose claims to the public space are on
display? When, where, and how does the violence of history get inscribed or
erased? And today, what are the options to express the concerns and to
question, evaluate, reframe, and alter these various depictions so as to
provide accountings of the histories while acknowledging the roles played by
domination, discrimination, and reconstruction? A virtual business meeting was held prior to the Annual Meeting.
