Karyn Olivier’s soaring “The Battle Is Joined” monument is actually the original Battle of Germantown Memorial, just covered in acrylic mirror material. The 20-foot structure is an ode to the American Revolutionary War battle, but Olivier’s take encourages visitors to be closer to their surroundings and history.

Also on display at Vernon Park is Jamel Shabazz’s “Love Is the Message,” a gallery wall that displays portraits of portraits of veterans and local residents. (From now until Veterans Day, keep an eye out for pop-up photo sessions where Shabazz will take free printed portraits.)

At the corner of East Indiana Avenue and A Street in Kensington, there is an old factory that’s now covered in colorful clocks. It’s a special monument project by artist Tyree Guyton of Detroit’s iconic Heidelberg Project. Painted by Guyton, local residents, and visitors from Detroit, the art installation highlights the importance of our times.

David Hartt’s “for everyone a garden VIII” at Norris Square is the result of a one-year partnership with the Norris Square Neighborhood Project (NSNP), an organization that provides green space and youth education to local residents. With the help of a youth film crew, Hartt created a film that highlights how Norris Square might like in 50 to 100 years as a forested landscape.

At Lancaster Avenue, Brown Street, and North 42nd Street in West Philly, there’s a vacant, triangular lot. Artist Hans Haacke will spend the next few months excavating the site, attempting to unearth a monument “that already exists beneath the surface.”

In one of the city’s original squares, Emeka Ogboh’s Logan Squared: Ode to Philly monument is on display as a series of listening stations. Plug in your own earphones to listen to Ogboh’s poem, which features a snippets of Philly voices. Another sound station is also set up across the Parkway on the Skyline Terrace at the Free Library.

A giant boombox is currently set up in Franklin Square as a monument to Philly’s rich music scene. Artist Kara Crombie created this outdoor music studio that allows you to create your own tune from a selection of musical samples from Philly artists.

The Frank Rizzo Monument has a new neighbor at Thomas Paine Plaza: Hank Willis Thomas’s “All Power to All People” immediately drew attention when it was installed on Tuesday, September 12 just steps from the divisive Rizzo statue. Thomas’ monument is an 800-pound(!) Afro pick that, in the artist’s words, aims “to highlight ideas related to community, strength, perseverance, comradeship, and resistance to oppression.”

If you can only make it to Malcolm X Park in West Philly one day, make it Saturday, October 14. That’s when artists DJ King Britt and Joshua Mays will have their one-night-only performance of “Mays, Dreams, Diaspora, and Destiny.” The artists describe it as a “monumental time portal” that features sounds collected from the neighborhood by local youth, light, and vinyl panels with Mays’ graphic artwork.

Mel Chin’s monument is, well, anyone who wants to stand on top of the two podiums placed in the center of the courtyard. The seven-foot-tall pedestals, which mimic John Wanamaker’s Citizen statue on the west side of City Hall, have the word “Me” written across and are considered living monuments that anyone can stand upon.

If you visit on Wednesday or Friday evenings from 8 to 10 p.m., Michelle Angela Ortiz’s Seguimos Caminando (We Keep Walking) will be projected onto the gates of City Hall highlighting mothers previously or currently detained at Berks Detention Center, a prison outside of Philly for immigrant families.

To create “On the Threshold (Salvaged Stoops, Philadelphia),” Kaitlin Pomerantz spent months salvaging materials from recently demolished buildings throughout Philly. The final monument in Washington Square is an ode to Philly’s stoop culture, made from the historic building materials.

This park is also the starting point for Marisa Williamson’s “Sweet Chariot: The Long Journey to Freedom Through Time,” an interactive video scavenger hunt that uncovers a series hidden moments in the landscape of historic Philadelphia, focusing on the African-American struggle for freedom.

Shira Walinsky and Southeast by Southeast have created an interactive news kiosk that features the stories of immigrant and refugee artists in Philly. There will be materials like recipe cards that you’ll be able to take, too.

If you only have one day to visit, make it Saturday, October 28. Walinsky’s monument will still be on display, and Klip Collective will also bring a one-night-only installation to Marconi Plaza. Like Walinsky’s monument, this will be an immersive installation created as an ode to South Philly’s immigrants.
