A co-creating process that advances truth and recognition of past harms by allowing space for communities to mourn past losses and preserve or create a collective memory. Memorialization can include a vast array of art based practices that can bring life to victims’ pasts and create new immersive experiences for the public. These include permanent acts of memorialization — statues, monuments, memorials and other public buildings, commemorative names attached to streets, buildings, urban landmarks, murals, and art installations — and impermanent acts of memorialization — ceremonies, parades, festivals and rituals.
