Conceptual artist and pedagogue, Luis Camnitzer (b. 1937, Germany) presents a series of posters by artists depicting proposals for monuments to under-recognized heroes.

This installation is an expansion upon a call for submissions that originally took place in the days following the start of the pandemic. This visual archive captures various perspectives on the ways in which we memorialize, while raising questions about the socio-political and economic underpinnings that typically accompany the production of public monuments.

The installation in the Kaplan Hall Lobby displays the posters submitted in 2023, but you can view all submissions from 2023 and 2020 in the online catalog.
