Event overview
The Migrant Futures Institute is delighted to host Professor Dan Hicks to talk about his latest book, Every Monument Will Fall: a story of remembering and forgetting.
This talk presents the arguments of the book - excavating art, anthropology, archaeology and architecture through the lenses of monumentality, memory, museums and militarism. The talk will examine how legacy colonialism is being contested in galleries, universities, and in public space. In doing so it asks what might yet be learned from the parallel movements of restitution, 'fallism', and the decolonisation of knowledge — from displays of looted culture to collections of ancestral humans, and from the libraries and seminar rooms and to the streets.
Dr. Sultan Doughan, Co-Director of the Migrant Futures Institute will moderate the event.
