This installation emerged from community activities and conversations that critiqued local monuments. City Club of Eugene recognized that examining the value assumptions about monuments and generating new ideas for improving civic engagement are central to its mission of building community vision. New monuments may be needed for new insights about community life. The Round Table Club members viewed this project as providing a unique opportunity to collaborate in ways that promote shared values, tapping the resources of “town” and “gown” to promote inquiry-based art. The project proposal immediately caught the attention of Malik Lovette, an artist and educator and founder of Let Us Have Vision, committed to helping people explore identity through art. This installation shows how young artists met the challenge of identifying the people and events in their own lives and considering how best to represent them in public spaces. More information
