SAAM has partnered with Monument Lab, a nonprofit public art, history, and design studio based in Philadelphia, for an engaging series of guided conversations about The Shape of Power exhibition. In each of the three events, Monument Lab curators Yolanda Wisher and Aubree Penney will focus on specific artworks to illustrate ideas and spark dialogue. This program will feature a discussion of how attitudes and understandings about race in the United States have influenced monument-making. Monument Lab will provide a toolkit for creative ways of looking at art and generating conversation around the exhibition. Space is limited.
