Richmond's Robert E. Lee monument protests scanned instagram.com/p/CBnjw-6Hwpc/… @Monument_Lab @PaperMonuments @jelani9 @SavingPlaces @WorldMonuments @NegroBuilding
The Robert E. Lee Monument located on Monument Drive in Richmond, VA, has transformed into a site of protest, subversion, and public engagement by protesters and activists marching for Black Lives. Check out this 3D, aerial model by @terrykilby. What’s been your fave engagement?
I’m 💯 behind this idea
Retweet if we should temporarily replace all racist monuments with air dancers while we build new non-racist monuments!
One reason why we need new monuments and memorials. spaces to mourn, spaces to process, spaces to center ourselves for the work we need to do. @Monument_Lab @PaperMonuments #newmonumentsfornewcities
Faculty and staff members met in solidarity to pay tribute to George Floyd by kneeling at the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers for 9 minutes. Afterward, they discussed ways as individuals and as a community they could work together toward more equality.
@bbwilson3 @UVaSARC @theresahyuna @BCLeeJr @wingedisis Happy Mardi Gras to y’all! Today we’re celebrating the 74th anniversary of the Flambeaux Strike of 1946. read more: papermonuments.org/pmev-21-flambe…
Today's @UVaSARC Methods of Community Engagement and Research class I get to talk about the work of some of my favorite friends: @theresahyuna Our Skid Row: deptofplaces.org/projects#/ours… and @BCLeeJr & @wingedisis @PaperMonuments: papermonuments.org
The power of place. The legacy of people. The impact of collective leadership. Tabernacle Baptist Church-Selma, AL. Designed by David T. West, African American architect & member of Tabernacle Baptist Church in 1922. #BHM #BHM2020 #civilrightsmovement #thecradleofthemovement
The proper thing to do with the #KailasCollapse / former Woolworth's site is to clear it and make it a public park / monument to civil rights and workers rights.
Check out this short essay by @DrMitchell16! @PaperMonuments pairs historians with artists to tell stories that deserve public commemoration in New Orleans. #ualr #history #publichistory #NewOrleans
Our latest poster is a long-overdue monument to Oscar James Dunn, a Black civil rights activist and politician during #Reconstruction whom W.E.B. Du Bois called, "an unselfish, incorruptible, leader." (1/23)
#ICYMI Kudos to @PaperMonuments on your efforts to both write and “right” history in New Orleans. @NextCityOrg #NOLA nextcity.org/daily/entry/wi…
Oh, so we're in @NextCityOrg that's just a little exciting (we're very, very excited y'all!) nextcity.org/daily/entry/wi…
Thank you for the opportunity to tell some of your stories, and for the honor of hearing the stories that you wanted to tell.
We are eternally grateful to everyone who took part in the Paper Monuments project directly, to the network of peer projects in our city and across the country who provided a community of practice, and most of all to the incredible people of New Orleans.
Paper Monuments was a public art and public history project sharing undertold narratives of the city. While the most visible elements of the Paper Monuments project were the public art installations, public proposals for prospective new monuments were at the heart of the process.
4) When it's all done, we'll have an immersive digital experience with music, film, and a celebration of Black history in New Orleans. For now, here's our friend, Al Johnson, reminding you that "Claiborne Street is rockin' from one side to the other!" youtube.com/watch?v=axNmY5…
3) Digital reconstructions of 22 blocks of N. Claiborne from Canal to Elysian Fields. We'll use photographs, Sanborn maps, and surveys to get a glimpse of Claiborne Avenue before the construction of the I-10. (photo: 1937 Sanborn, lakeside of Claiborne from Esplanade to Columbus)
