What is a monument? And what politics are at play in the work of dismounting colonial statuary? Watch the conversation with artist Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle here
Galvanized by the Black Lives Matter movement, a number of collective actions this year have sought to identify, dismantle, and remove colonial statues.
At our event, California-based artist Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle, Haley Moyse Fenning and Delphine Sims discussed how art production can provide another means to ‘destroy’ these symbols of Western imperial power, while putting the conversation into practice through a guided collaging exercise. Keep scrolling to see the collages produced during the workshop.
