Lectures and Meditations on the High Line – Monuments of War

To close the series, Nico Rodriguez, deputy director of Monuments Lab, considers Nguyen’s work alongside contemporary artistic approaches to memorialization. The discussion explores how artists reimagine monuments to war by transforming sites of violence into spaces for remembrance, reflection, and collective healing.

The lecture will be followed by a guided meditation led by Steve Clorfeine, a meditation teacher from the Shambhala tradition with over 40 years of experience.
