Featuring contributions from artists Justin F. Kennedy,
Olivier Marboeuf, Jeannette Ehlers, patricia kaersenhout, and Abdul Dube alongside art historian Amelia Groom, black feminist scholars Lena Sawyer and Nana Osei-Kofi, and curator Tawanda Appiah, this anthology centers metamonumental practices—critical, sometimes speculative, and often ephemeral practices that refuse linear chronology and other Eurocentric frameworks.
Against the backdrop of renewed power struggles over monumental landscapes and ongoing racial injustice, black monument asks: What forms of care for black histories emerge in the absence of sanctioned monuments?
