An installation for the upcoming public art exhibition, A Call to Peace will be starting in Military Park this Wednesday. A Call to Peace, opening on October 3rd, is a public art exhibition that poses this urgent question by featuring temporary monuments and artworks at Express Newark and Military Park by contemporary artists Manuel Acevedo, Chakaia Booker, Sonya Clark, and Jamel Shabazz.

The exhibition will invite all students, educators and community members to answer this question by submitting their own monument proposals, attending “Thursday Talks” with artists, scholars, and community members; and visiting the interactive research “Lab” at Military Park.
