Based on his most recent book, "The Stages of Memory: Reflections on Memorial Art, Loss, and the Spaces Between, "James Young traces what he calls an “arc of memorial vernacular;" from Maya Lin’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial, to Germany’s Holocaust counter-monuments and Berlin’s Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, to the 9/11 Memorial in New York City.
Held in in conjunction with the exhibition "We Fight to Build a Free World: An Exhibition by Jonathan Horowitz," Young reflects on his experiences as a juror for memorial competitions. This talk was recorded on October 16, 2020.
