The project confronts the hostility and exclusion that groups migrating for work have historically encountered.

About the project | NJMML, NJ Monuments to Migration and Labor

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.
