Description

The physical world around us holds the evidence of our shared history. However, when monuments and buildings are reshaped to serve ideological agendas, the historical record is manipulated. Robert Bevan explores how the built environment reflects our values, politics, and past events, and how its manipulation threatens our understanding of the truth. Monuments, architecture, and cities are material records of history, shaped by previous ways of thinking and politics. When these physical spaces tell lies about who deserves honour or are destroyed, the struggle for justice is forgotten. Bevan argues that we must trust the tangible world around us to reveal its truth. By examining the threats to our understanding of the built environment, Monumental Lies offers solutions to combat ideological manipulations and preserve the material evidence of history.
