Monument Lab: In conversation with Ken Lum and Jon Tupper

Dates December 3.2020

On Thursday, December 3, Art Gallery of Guelph Director Shauna McCabe hosted a conversation with Ken Lum (artist and Chief Curatorial Advisor for Monument Lab) and Jon Tupper (Director of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria). In 2012, Lum founded Monument Lab with Paul Farber with the goal to cultivate critical conversations around the past, present, and future of monuments. A public art and history studio, Monument Lab aims to engage our inherited symbols in order to unearth the next generation of monuments that elevate stories of resistance and hope. This talk was presented in conjunction with the exhibition Sites of Memory.
