Booktalk with Dan Hick: 'Every Monument Will Fall: A Story of Remembering and Forgetting'

Join us on Friday 10th October at the Cowley Club for a book talk with Dan Hicks (doors 7pm talk starts 7.30pm) where we'll discuss what it means to decolonise our monuments and museums and do a deep dive into the colonial history behind them.

Dan is the author of the new book 'Every Monument Will Fall: A Story of Remembering and Forgetting'. In the book he reveals how statues, museums, and archaeology itself are rooted in histories of colonial violence. He shows how empire shaped what we remember, and what we’re encouraged to forget. Drawing on his work at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Dan uncovers the stories behind these legacies — and asks how we might confront them.
