Monumental Changes at Garfield Park Arts Center

An invitation to the Monumental Changes exhibit and opening events. It includes a photo of a portion of the Confederate monument that was removed from Garfield Park in 2020.

Students in my fall 2021 course on Public Art and Power are partnering with the Garfield Park Arts Center to develop an exhibit that’s part of this year’s Spirit & Place Festival. We’re inviting audiences to reflect on the park’s history as former site of a Confederate monument and collectively envision a future for public art in the park.
