From the toppling and removal of statues to ongoing debates on contested objects, buildings, and landscapes, monuments have—once again—come to play a pivotal role in mobilizing and rearticulating struggles for recognition. Inherent to the design and construction of monuments are wider processes and structures of memorialization that reify social configurations.

Monument is a collaboration between e-flux Architecture and Het Nieuwe Instituut. It is complemented by a series of online screenings and conversations that took place as part of Het Nieuwe Instituut’s Thursday Night Live! program. Please visit Het Nieuwe Instituut’s website to rewatch the online screenings.
