Reckoning: Monuments and Racial History

To mark the fifth anniversary of the founding of the Black Lives Matter movement and the closing of the SFMOMA exhibition Nothing Stable under Heaven, the California College of the Arts (CCA) and SFMOMA jointly present a one-day symposium that explores the roles of art and architecture in bringing to light histories of racial violence, systematic oppression, and anti-racist movements. Participants include artists and designers, as well as art and architectural historians who have studied memorials, trauma, and monument-building. The event also features keynote speaker Mabel Wilson.
