Who gets remembered in public space?

Organized around the question of which stories belong in public, this collection examines monuments as part of community life and public memory. Case studies from across the United States document local commemorative campaigns, with each project paired with a framing essay on its setting, culture, form, and subject matter. Articles and artwork bring together varied approaches to reclaiming stories and engaging with the country’s unresolved past and divided present. Edited by Paul M. Farber, the book connects specific projects to a wider conversation about how monuments function and whose histories they represent.

Book overview

Beginning in 2022, the Philadelphia-based nonprofit public art, history, and design studio, Monument Lab, launched a nationwide initiative organized around a central question: Which stories belong in public? The editors and contributors to Monument Lab: Re: Generation responded with creative and impactful projects of reclamation that provide a deeper understanding of how monuments live and function in communities.

Monument Lab: Re: Generation presents case studies that travel across America, highlighting local commemorative campaigns dedicated to advancing public memory. Featuring articles and artwork from the country's leading monument makers, each project includes a framing essay that provides insights into the varied contexts of location, culture, form, and subject matter.

Monument Lab: Re: Generation provides innovative, healing, and practical approaches to the United States' unreconciled past and divided present facing our nation. In doing so, it invites readers to engage with a broader discourse of monuments and public memory.
