The Monumental Project
Welcome to The Monumental Project, the official companion podcast of the Monuments Toolkit, a project of World Heritage USA that is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to help communities with reinterpreting their monuments landscape. In this podcast, we meet with artists, activists, and academics to discuss how monuments around the world continue to grow and evolve.

When does an artifact in a museum reach "monumental" status? In this episode, we're exploring the concept of belongings as monuments, primarily focusing on the Amoxtli Tezcatlipoca (or the Codex Fejérváry-Mayer) with Meghan Backhouse from National Museums Liverpool and José Sherwood, an expert on the amoxtli. This will be the first part as the second part will be with Nahua scholars conducted in the spanish language.
