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.

Last season, we met with the founders of Refusing to Forget to discuss La Matanza and the lack of monuments and memorials that recognize this historic tragedy. Today, we're continuing that conversation by speaking with Elsie Garcia, a descendent of one of the men killed in the Porvenir Massacre, a key event of La Matanza. Elsie's story reminds us of the importance of memorializing these tragedies and remembering how the past continues to impact us today.
