The second iteration of Monument Lab Live features speakers and presenters who interrogate questions of authorship, representation, and history.

Join us for TED-style presentations from Paper Monuments (NOLA), Vashti Dubois (Executive Director, The Colored Girls Museum, Philadelphia), Jarrett Drake (digital archivist, Cambridge, MA), Venissa Santi (Cuban–American vocalist, Philadelphia) and Monument Lab artists Kaitlin Pomerantz and Marisa Williamson.

Reflect on history. Imagine the future. Change the present.
