Year Three

Monuments

Walking tour

w/ Alexis Bhagat

Together we will walk and think about monuments; why we make them, and what we make them about. As the capital city of New York, Albany contains a concentration of memorials, mostly to wars and conquest. These war names, and names of the fallen, are recorded on the plaques and granite bases of monuments in and around the Empire State Plaza complex.

We will ask, what monuments are here, and what is missing?

Meet at Kiddie Pool, 128 Grand St. in Albany

Ending at West Capitol Park, 7:30 or 8pm
