Register at the link in our bio for this free, online talk focusing on the New Jersey Monuments to Migration and Labor ( @njmmlofficial )project. Monday September 28 at 4pm ET.
The New Jersey Monuments to Migration and Labor (NJMML) project unveiled three new temporary public monument installations across New Jersey this summer, in New Brunswick, Paterson, and Atlantic City. NJMML is supported by funding from the Mellon Foundation’s Monuments Project.
Join Andy Urban, project director and Rutgers University professor, along with the project’s public art consultants Emily Blumenfeld and Aliza Schiff from Via Partnership, for a conversation with the three monument artists, Immanuel Oni, Michelle Angela Ortiz and Chat Travieso. They will discuss what it means to honor labor and migration in a variety of contexts throughout New Jersey and how their community-centered installations share the many stories of these diverse communities.
The three monuments — En Root by Chat Travieso in Central Jersey, Carriers of Light and Labor by Michelle Angela Ortiz in North Jersey, and Flagship by Immanuel Oni in South Jersey — mark a major milestone in NJMML’s statewide, three-year effort to recognize the histories, labor, culture, and contributions of immigrant and migrant communities across New Jersey.
