Bryn Mawr College

Don't Forget to Remember (Me)

RSVP here

Join the artist Nekisha Durrett and the Bryn Mawr Community for a special celebration and twilight unveiling of the "Don't Forget to Remember (Me)" campus monument. The artwork will be on full display and illuminated for the first time for all to see.

Nekisha Durrett’s “Don’t Forget to Remember (Me)” is a commissioned monument at Bryn Mawr College that responds to the legacy of exclusionary practices on the campus. Durrett’s artwork is the culmination of Bryn Mawr College’s ARCH Project (Art Remediating Campus Histories), a five-year collaboration with students, staff, faculty, and alums, and was produced in partnership with Monument Lab. 

Speakers will include artist Nekisha Durrett and others involved with the project. Light dessert will be served immediately following the unveiling.
