Textiles as Monument

Fowler Museum at UCLA · Los Angeles
On view August 9, 2026 to June 27, 2027

What constitutes a monument, and who is memorialized? Three contemporary artists of South Asian descent—Suchitra Mattai, Jagdeep Raina, and Swapnaa Tamhane—transform textiles of their cultural heritage into memorials for those who have been unrecognized in public displays of historical memory. These artworks question why monuments are made and who is given the power to be remembered.
