About this event
The VTSU Castleton Soundings Program in partnership with the Vermont Humanities Speakers Bureau presents "Public Art, Monuments, and What We Choose to Remember". Join artist and educator Jen Berger for a presentation that places monuments within the broader field of public art, examining how objects in shared space shape memory, belonging, and power, and how monuments, often permanent and officially sanctioned, are mistaken for neutral history. Moving from participatory public artworks to the political histories and social impacts of monuments, including Confederate memorials and their removal after 2020, we look towards Vermont to ask what our monuments say about public history and whose stories are centered or missing. The Vermont Monument Project is a three-year, humanities-based initiative that combines research, analysis, and artistic practice to expand and complicate public memory through dialogue, care, and inclusion. Advanced signup is REQUIRED for Soundings students. Non-Soundings students and community members are encouraged to sign up as well. This event is free and open to the public.
