The Arch Project monument in the Cloisters

ARCH Project Update

In September, students, faculty, and staff filled Old Library’s Great Hall to hear from artist Nekisha Durrett, President Kim Cassidy, Monument Lab’s Paul Farber, and Professor of History of Art Homay King on plans for the installation of Durrett’s Don't Forget to Remember (Me). The project addresses a legacy of exclusionary practices at the College and will be placed in the Cloisters at the center of Old Library.

The Art Remediating College Histories (ARCH) Project, in partnership with Monument Lab, is a multiyear collaboration to design a process and commission a campus public artwork that contributes to a broader effort of historical reckoning at the College. Installation will be completed during the 2024-2025 academic year.
