  1. Huge Soviet-era monument taken down in Kyiv as Ukraine continues 'derussification' #TheArtNewspaper

    “A Soviet-era monument believed to glorify Ukraine’s ties to Russia is being dismantled on orders of the Kyiv city government in the latest stage of derussification following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

    Kyiv’s Department of Territorial Control announced the start of the monument’s removal in a Facebook post on 30 April, stressing its massive size: “The sculptural composition is large, consists of about 20 elements weighing between 6,000kg and 7,000kg each. Due to the complexity of the design, dismantling may take a few days.””

  6. "The conservation and restoration of negative heritage", an article that Ruth Taberner and I have published, about the problem of preserving (or not) the most contested heritage (in Spanish). #OpenAccess #GeConservación #Article

    It is often asked to what extent it makes sense to restore a legacy that is extremely negative and harmful to a significant part of society and that has no other significant values that would provide an incentive for its restoration. In some cases many pieces have been destroyed as Nazi and communist sculptures. In Spain a project was presented to melt down the equestrian sculpture of Franco that was originally in the Plaza de España in Ferrol (La Coruña).

  11. CONTESTED HISTORIES

    "The Contested Histories Initiative seeks practical remedies to contestations over historical markers in public spaces as part of broader efforts to create more inclusive and equitable societies, particularly for and with communities that have been marginalised or disenfranchised due to race, ethnicity, gender, or other affiliations."

    An example:
    VICTORY MONUMENT (Bolzano, Italy): "The Victory Monument in Bolzano was erected on the orders of Benito Mussolini in 1928. Since then, it has been at the symbolic centre of ethnic clashes between the German- and Italian-speaking communities, as well as a symbol of the unresolved legacy of Italian Fascism".

  21. #Negativeheritage can refer to places that are linked to historically painful, atrocious and/or disturbing events. They are ambivalent, as they are material testimonies of these events, but they are also rejected by a majority of society and need to be re-signified or, in more extreme cases, their destruction may be demanded. An interesting example of re-signification is the case of the #Kongresshalle, an example of #Nazi #architecture in #Nuremberg. For the creation of a Documentation Centre to show the horrors of Nazism, the building was not reconstructed, but left unfinished with the red brick exposed. In addition, a new structure was built on top of the building, placed perpendicularly, so as to simulate a "glass and steel stake" that is running through the building (Sharon Macdonald, 2006).

  33. What to do with #NegativeHeritage? Some ideas from #Canada.
    ▶︎Guidance for Practice on Colonial Statues and Memorials Sites (2021): "Interventions have been and will continue to be carried out on public colonial statues with paint, messages, objects, symbols, and tools. For many, these materials and actions are now part of the physical, conceptual, and historical integrity of these objects".

  34. #ARTNews "New Bill in Florida Would Allow Civilians to Sue When Confederate Monuments Are Damaged or Removed" by Karen K. Ho

    On the fight against Confederate monuments and the GOP counteroffensives I recommend "Smashing Statues" by Erin L. Thompson (2022) and "No Common Ground" by Karen L. Cox (2021).

  38. A rather curious book is Where is Franco? by Julia Schulz-Dornburg (2022). In this book she tells the story of her journey through Spain to locate the 9 equestrian statues of Franco. Several are stored in museum warehouses or in such curious spaces as an abandoned university in Zaragoza. One of them is in Melilla, in the courtyard of a private foundation, the Gaselec Foundation.

  42. A never-ending process of resignification of Franco's largest monument: the valley of Cuelgamuros (formerly the Valley of the Fallen). It puts the focus back on the problem of what can be done with #NegativeHeritage especially when it is very important in historical terms, but it is impossible to move it, store it in a warehouse or change its meaning just with an explanatory plaque.
