Who Needs a Monument?
Monuments and memorials have long served as placeholders reinforcing certain ways of telling history. In recent years, they have made headlines across the globe as statues of former slave owners and police officers have been toppled, dragged into rivers, vandalized and removed from public space for their position as oppressive markers of white supremacy and racism. As certain states have passed laws prohibiting the removal of monuments, others around the nation have been destroyed, relocated to institutions and storage facilities, or replaced by new statues honoring previously unrecognized, important historical figures.
Amid these international debates, Who Needs a Monument? is a conversation with Fountainhead artist-in-residence Lihi Turjeman and local artists Najja Moon and Chire Regans, moderated by Luna Goldberg. The artists will discuss how we memorialize the past, address legacies of injustice, and reimagine monuments, their form, and the way stories are told in public space.
This program is part of At Memory’s Edge, a Miami-based exhibition and programming series curated by Luna Goldberg. Focused around contested monuments, the exhibition opens in January 2022 at Fundación Pablo Atchugarry Miami, and will feature works by Ashley Freeby, Efrat Hakimi, Iris Helena, and Lihi Turjeman.
Verónica Vázquez: The Artist and Her Craft
We are delighted to announce that the Pablo Atchugarry Foundation in Miami will reopen this December with a brand new program of educational activations. Uruguayan artist Verónica Vázquez will lead a set of workshops as part of a biographical exhibition dedicated to her personal story of artistic growth. Vázquez frequented the Fundación Pablo Atchugarry in Uruguay, where she learned from its founder, sculptor Pablo Atchugarry. Vázquez’s time at the Fundación provided her the opportunity to study with important figures of Uruguayan art, and undoubtedly shaped her artistic practice.
