MONUMENTS TO MIGRATION AND LABOR is a transformative three-year initiative dedicated to honoring the vital contributions of immigrants and migrants as laborers in shaping the state of New Jersey.
The project confronts the hostility and exclusion that groups migrating for work have historically encountered.
We believe that monument installations and art, and place-based public dialogues, engagements, performances, and programs – where immigrant and migrant stakeholders take the lead in determining how their contributions should be commemorated – are crucial to changing narratives and perspectives.
Stay engaged with community dialogues, public art installations, monument site updates, and public events!
