About This Event

Dan Hicks in conversation with Sadia Habib, marking the release of the paperback edition of 'Monuments Will Fall'

On 6 May 2026 Dan Hicks will be in conversation with Sadia Habib for the Manchester leg of the book tour marking the release of the paperback edition of Dan's latest book, 'Every Monument Will Fall: a story of remembering and forgetting'. Working through the book's arguments about the four As" (Archaeology, Anthropology, Art and Architecture) and "the four Ms" (monuments, museums, memory and militarism), the talk will examine questions of transparency and ethics in the ongoing presence of untold hundreds of thousands of ancestral human remains in legacy colonial museums - holding these lives and histories up against the commemoration of dead white colonisers and enslavers in statues and other memorials.


The event will explore the book's call for new public dialogue about what is kept, and who is remembered, from the past β€” and for the democratic right of any society or community to reshape its memory culture.
