Beginning in 2022, the Philadelphia-based nonprofit public art, history, and design studio, Monument Lab, launched a nationwide initiative organized around a central question: Which stories belong in public? The editors and contributors to Monument Lab: Re: Generation responded with creative and impactful projects of reclamation that provide a deeper understanding of how monuments live and function in communities.

Monument Lab: Re: Generation presents case studies that travel across America, highlighting local commemorative campaigns dedicated to advancing public memory. Featuring articles and artwork from the country's leading monument makers, each project includes a framing essay that provides insights into the varied contexts of location, culture, form, and subject matter.

Monument Lab: Re: Generation provides innovative, healing, and practical approaches to the United States' unreconciled past and divided present facing our nation. In doing so, it invites readers to engage with a broader discourse of monuments and public memory.
