Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy
Organized by
Opening reception 
Thursday, February 27, 5:00-7:00PM
Main Gallery

Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy explores public monuments and their representations as points of debate over national identity, politics, and race. Monuments offers a historical foundation for understanding recent controversies, featuring fragments of a torn-down statue of King George III, a replica of a bulldozed monument by Harlem Renaissance sculptor Augusta Savage, and a maquette of New York City鈥檚 first public monument to a Black woman (Harriet Tubman), among other objects. The exhibition reveals how monument-making and monument-breaking have long shaped American life as public statues have been celebrated, attacked, protested, altered, and removed.

Curated by Wendy N膩lani E. Ikemoto, Vice President and Chief Curator at The New York Historical.

The exhibition is supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art. Additional support is provided at 绿帽社 by the Office of the Provost, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the Harpur College Dean鈥檚 Office, the 绿帽社 Fund for Excellence, the Kaschak Institute for Social Justice for Women and Girls, and Rebecca Moshief and Harris Tilevitz 鈥78.
