Monument Lab

About Monument Lab

Monument Lab is a nonprofit public art, history, and design studio based in Philadelphia. We are dedicated to advancing justice by reimagining monuments as places for belonging, learning, and healing. We believe that our unreconciled past and our inherited monument landscape continue to reinforce systems of injustice, haunt our present, and impact our individual and collective futures. We center artists and local changemakers to collectively transform how monuments are created, interpreted, and experienced. We cultivate conversations about the past, present, and future of monuments as a means to animate democracy and foster generational change.
