iraqimemorial.org: On the Efficacy of Creative Remembrance

In conjunction with the current exhibition, iraqimemorial.org, project director and exhibition curator Joseph DeLappe* will lead a panel discussion with jurors Yaelle Amir and Raul Zamudio, and artists Wafaa Bilal, Matt Kenyon and Sayoko Yoshida. A wide-ranging discussion will ensue regarding the efficacy of the conceptualization and realization of contemporary memorials, monuments, and counter-monuments to the victims of war. How do we critically assess the effect of a project such as iraqimemorial.org? What are the pitfalls and possibilities of developing DIY memorial projects?
