St.Michael’s Printshop presents a conversation between Emily Critch and Simon(e) Van Saarloos about commemoration, monuments, settler colonialism and more. Moderated by Kate Lahey with poetry and music by Daze Jefferies. Drawing from themes in Simon(e)’s book Take ‘Em Down: Scattered Monuments and Queer Forgetting, such as who determines what is remembered and commemorated, and why? How can we commemorate something that is both in the past and a daily reality? and drawing from Emily’s curatorial practice including the recent “these are our monuments”, (Owens Art Gallery, 2021) that draws from Rita Joe’s poem, “Poem 10”.
