Monuments

Monument Lab defines a monument as:

“a statement of power and presence in public.”

MAAV aims to reimagine what can be considered a monument, and what types of stories they can tell.

Monuments could be:

  • historical marker for Pepperoni Roll

    Historical Markers & Signage

  • people on stairs

    Salvaged Objects

  • EJI Memorial

    Spaces of Reflection

  • possum art

    Public Art

  • poetry reading

    Performances & Festivals

MAAV team members are currently identifying and documenting the thousands of existing monuments throughout Appalachian Virginia.

In 2024 MAAV will set up an interactive map of monuments that will be available on this web page. Check back soon!
