In 2020, the UK left the European Union, experienced the pandemic, and saw statues of slavers thrown into the sea. This workshop explores what has since happened to the intersectional politics of memory and representation in public space. In the wake of 2020, some monuments have been removed and others added. Museums have changed their displays and returned looted artwork, while the British Museum has retained all its 8 million objects. In London’s visibly changed urban environment, this workshop uses monuments and museums as archives for active learning to ask such questions as: who is remembered in public spaces, who is forgotten, and how? Who has the right to the city? How can it be mapped?
Working on both assigned and chosen site visits and in thematic groups, such as Britain and Asia; Gender and sexuality; Race and Empire; and the Politics of Memory, workshop participants will assemble materials from images to text, sound and written descriptions to map their encounter with this ongoing crisis of urban
belonging.
