Monuments Lecture

What’s Happening?

As a Principal at MASS Design Group, Jha D Amazi leads the Public Memory and Memorial Lab, an ongoing research and design project which asks, “How can spatializing memory support healing and inspire collective action for generations to come?” MASS Design’s Public Memory and Memorials Lab has engaged communities to design projects such as The Embrace (Boston, MA), the National Memorial for Peace and Justice (Montgomery, AL), and the Franklin Park Action Plan (Boston, MA). Across its work, the Lab honors the experiences, histories, and cultures of people historically denied representation in our memorial landscape.

Beyond MASS, Amazi is also a spoken word artist, event producer, and self-proclaimed space maker for LGBTQ+ communities of color. With an M.Arch from the University of Pennsylvania, Amazi has worked as a Designer at Sasaki and taught studio at the Boston Architectural College.
