"Recognizing Painful Legacies through Memorial Construction"

November 18 | 7:30pm
Julian Bonder (Roger Williams University)
Deborah Martin (Geography)
Kristina Wilson (Art History)
Higgins Lounge, Dana Commons, Clark University 
Worcester, Mass.

How communities address painful legacies through memorial construction is the starting point for a discussion between architect Julian Bonder and Clark Professors Deborah Martin and Kristina Wilson. Bonder’s renowned Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery in Nantes, France, a port from which hundreds of Atlantic slave-trading expeditions set forth, will serve as the cornerstone. The trio will also look at Bonder’s Holocaust-related work and other memorials to mass atrocity.

Co-Sponsored by Graduate School of Geography and Department of Visual and Performing Arts.
