SUMMARY:In Conversation: Dr. Cher Krause Knight and Dr. Harriet F. Senie on their new book "Memorials Now"
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 4\, 2026\, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \n\n\n\nIn Conversation: Dr. Cher Krause Knight and Dr. Harriet F. Senie will discuss with attendees their latest book\, Memorials Now\, focused on the present-day challenges of commemorating the past. The authors offer a critical exploration of how varied communities can navigate the complex terrain of commemorative practices. They will provide insights into historical challenges while also encouraging a more inclusive and just memorial landscape for the future. \n\n\n\nLocation: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, MA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK: As debates over historical monuments and their meanings unfold\, Memorials Now offers a critical exploration of how communities can navigate the complex terrain of commemorative practices. From controversial statues to emerging forms of public memory\, the topics covered in this timely volume provide insights into historical challenges while also encouraging a more inclusive and just memorial landscape for the future. \n\n\n\nAuthors Cher Krause Knight and Harriet F. Senie explore evolving narratives of heroes and victims\, ethical challenges of memorial design\, strategies for promoting inclusivity\, and possibilities for alternative forms of commemoration. Memorials Now analyzes case studies from around the world in which communities are rethinking their memorials and creating innovative memorialization projects that reflect shifting cultural values. \n\n\n\nMemorials Now is ideal for students and educators in art history\, architecture\, urban planning\, and cultural studies\, as well as professionals in fields such as public art\, city planning\, museum curation\, and civic engagement. \n\n\n\nThis public program is funded by the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture’s Un-monument initiative\, supported by a grant from the Mellon Foundation.
