This event invites participants to engage with the violent legacies of California politicians and colonialists and the monuments left behind as a form of reflection.
Howard's installations offer a connection between historical political figures and contemporary artistic interventions that challenge the dominant narratives of monumentality.
The workshop encourages attendees to create seed paper sculptures of statuary objects to symbolically scatter them back into the earth, promoting a sense of disassembly and renewal.
