There is a pressing need today to rethink and revitalize the nation’s ways of honoring the past. However, shared consensus about what and who should be remembered, and what form that commemoration should take, no longer exists. Judith Dupré, architectural historian and author of Monuments: American History in Art and Memory, will explore the sea change in memorial design as Americans grapple with questions about who we are as a nation and engage previously overlooked voices in the conversation about commemoration. This richly illustrated talk includes examples of classical landmarks, amended monuments, and remembrances made of glass, light, and other ephemeral materials. Purchase the book HERE.

Judith Dupré’s illustrated nonfiction books investigate history, art and architecture. A New York Times bestselling author, her works include One World Trade Center: Biography of the Building, Skyscrapers, Bridges, Monuments: America’s History in Art and Memory, Churches, and Full of Grace: Encountering Mary in Faith, Art and Life, which have been translated into fourteen languages. Her hands-on, experiential approach has yielded narrative structures that are increasingly hybrid, incorporating biography, history, imagery and visual analysis, and memoir to describe how places (and life) are experienced. Her editorial pieces have appeared in The New York Times, America Magazine, Time Magazine, Architectural Record, New York Daily News, and USA Today, among others.

She consults on urban wayfinding projects, most recently for the Empire State Building, and has curated numerous site-specific art installations. She has consulted with artists from vulnerable and minority populations nationally and internationally. Her work has been fostered by grants and fellowships, notably, a 2015 National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholar grant, one of 36 Americans so honored, and the Hugh Porter Prize, Josef Albers Traveling Fellowship, and Two Brothers Fellowship, all from Yale University. She is a three-time fellow of the MacDowell Colony and has held fellowships at the Serenbe Institute, Seaside Institute, VCCA, and the McNickle Center for the History of the American Indian at the Newberry Library, Chicago. She holds degrees from Brown and Yale universities.
