Can a monument, as an inherently commemorative form, speak about the future? Can it be deconstructed, its symbolic capital repurposed to foster a community of diverse voices and experiences? In <\/span>Monuments Will Speak With Our Voices<\/span><\/i>, Marta Romankiv initiates the process of building a prototype tool that amplifies the voices of often unheard, marginalised groups. The artist’s strategy orchestrates a situation where these voices can truly resound.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The project occupies a space between art and activism, taking on a participatory and context-driven character. Its starting point is the monument to Count Aleksander Fredro in Wroc\u0142aw’s Old Town Square. The resulting prototype \u2013 a physical object \u2013 is designed to be placed on this sculpture, although it can also serve as a versatile structure for voicing the needs and demands of various social groups.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

To bring the object to life, the artist invited a group of migrants from Ukraine, Belarus, and Colombia who had come to Wroc\u0142aw to study, work, or simply live. During workshop sessions, participants shared their experiences, common challenges, and envisioned a future rooted in a heterogeneous society. This collaboration led to the creation of a unique, multilingual voice shaped in the structure of a literary drama. Its content forms a collective manifesto, calling for the reclamation of rights and an equal, just place within the social fabric.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the exhibition, Marta <\/span>Romankiv<\/span> presents both the documentation of the project’s creation process and its outcome<\/span> \u2013 <\/span>a prototype embodying a vision of a future where migrant voices echo through every street and square, impossible to ignore. The artist purposefully engages with the statue of <\/span>Fredro<\/span>, a figure that underwent its own “migration” from Lviv to the capital of Lower Silesia. This sculpture, <\/span>relocated<\/span> in 1956 from Marta’s birthplace, traces the journey of not only the displaced Polish population from Lviv but also many pres<\/span>ent-day migrants. The <\/span>prototype’<\/span>s<\/span> steel structure, crafted to fit the dimensions of this “migrant monument,” symbolically transforms into a platform for voices that ar<\/span>e often absent in public spaces<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A monument, as an art form, is typically erected to <\/span>hono<\/span>u<\/span>r<\/span> a specific person or historical event. The narratives surrounding such representations are often influenced by historical relativism and remain vulnerable to shifts in social, political, religious, or cultural perspectives. Issues related to public space and urban planning are also central to the discourse <\/span>on<\/span> monuments. While a monument can embody emancipation, it can equally serve as a tool of usurpation, hierarchical storytelling, or political manipulation. Some monuments are dismantled, while others inspire spontaneous reverence. A monument can also become a means of exclusion, where commemorating a particular figure simultaneously neglects the memory of others who contributed significantly to that person\u2019s legacy.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Marta <\/span>Romankiv’s<\/span> work reimagines the monument as a forum<\/span> \u2013 <\/span>a site for gatherings, cultural events, social protests, and a space where diverse groups can voice their perspectives. Can sculptures in central city squares contribute to a more inclusive<\/span>, shared<\/span> future? The artist’s prototype explores this question, offering an object intended for public spaces that serves as an open platform to encourage social dialogue. Its primary aim is to highlight the importance of equal opportunities and to combat social exclusion. This initiative <\/span>seeks<\/span> to raise awareness an<\/span>d create a democratic tool for “speaking out” and “<\/span>commemo<\/span>rating.” <\/span>Romankiv’<\/span>s<\/span> project is a form of social experiment<\/span> \u2013 <\/span>entrusting the platform to the community to test <\/span>its potential and functionality<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
