We’re happy to announce that ICOMOS-USA has received a grant to expand and implement our Monument Relocation, Removal, and Reinterpretation Toolkit (“Monuments Toolkit”).
Background
During Phase One of the Monuments Toolkit Project, implemented with a 3-year grant from The Mellon Foundation, ICOMOS-USA held conversations with experts on how to best address monuments of oppression in the United States and around the world. The Project has produced a podcast; a series of webinars; two Monuments Summer live audience events; and the soon-to-be-published:
- Monuments Toolkit, including case studies from around the world; guidance for methods to address controversial monuments; and training materials for advocacy work when addressing monuments of oppression; and
- Smartphone App for documenting controversial monuments and the actions being taken to address them.
Phase Two of the program will expand and implement the Monuments Toolkit Project, providing facilitation and consensus-building services for municipalities, organizations, and groups addressing controversial monuments. Monuments Toolkit staff will also assist with the consideration of new monuments commemorating untold and undertold stories.
