02:00:23
Thank you so much for this presentation that enlarges understanding of other perspectives for everyone. As an artist/sculptor, this will definitely inform my artistic decisions going forward. And also influence my assessment/appreciation of current monuments.

02:02:59
Interested in hearing the speakers respond to how much the issues of monuments are in direct relationship to the western religious canon as a written text that often people conceive of as alterable—like the constitution—like monuments as opposed to oral traditions? (interpretation is not the same for everyone I want to acknowledge there are Christianities)

02:05:19
*unalterable

02:06:15
Black scholars certainly engage the language of decoloinzation—not so much among everyday Black folk. See the San Diego Museum of Man (MoM) have launched an “decolonizing the museum process” and engaged contemporary indigenousness groups to augment and help interpret historic collections.

02:07:33
From what i hear, Decolonization among Black scholars may mean an ethic of decolonization drawing on particular work by Fanon, Cesaire, James, etc - that is not grounded in an understanding of the US as a colonized space. But there is a growing body of work that works to bridge that gap.

02:08:50
Many Caribbean nations designed new monuments to celebrate decolonization. So do these kinds of monuments open a different doorway?

02:09:27
It is a combination of bith

02:10:43
both. How would that shift the current protests & uprising to use the decolonizing language?
