商品簡介
In the late 1990s, three monuments -- Crab Park
Boulder, Marker of Change, and Standing with
Courage, Strength and Pride -- were built in
Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Located within a few city blocks
of one another, the monuments were grassroots initiatives that
challenged the norms of civic art by claiming a place in public space
for society's more vulnerable groups, and each figured in debates
about many kinds of violence.
Speaking for a Long Time offers unique insights into the
creation of memorials and the multiple, often contested meanings that
can be attached to them in local communities. Part 1,
"Act," explores the monuments' origin stories and
highlights the distinctive perspectives of their founders. Part 2,
"Frame," places these narratives in the context of modern
debates and theories on public space and social memory. Part 3,
"Forge," returns to the Downtown Eastside to show how the
resilience and agency of grassroots activists can give the socially
marginalized a visible presence in our urban landscapes.
This vivid account of the creation of memory-scapes in a marginalized
community asks us to reconsider what constitutes public art that will
"speak for a long time."
