Let's Talk: History, Public Memory, and Imagination

On September 14, 2024, Boston Public Art Triennial will hold a conversation about untold stories, historical trauma, and how we can work to remember difficult histories by acknowledging their realities while transforming them with love, empathy, and imagination. Join us at 2:00 PM at the Charlestown Branch of the Boston Public Library to listen and learn about public memory and healing from the featured panelists and moderator.

This program is being presented as part of the City of Boston’s “Un-monument | Re-monument | De-monument: Transforming Boston” program, an initiative to transform the nation’s commemorative landscape by ensuring that collective histories are more completely and accurately represented. Un-Monument provides funding to expand the public's role in shaping Boston’s future monuments, sustaining a cultural ecosystem for years to come.

Featured speakers: 

Artists Dell Marie Hamilton and Angela Counts will be in conversation with Africana Studies professor Nicole Aljoe, PhD., moderated by Kyera Singleton, Executive Director of Royall House and Slave Quarters.
