We're back beginning next Monday (and every first Monday of the month) with new episodes. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.
Pam Elam and Namita Luthra serve on the Board of Directors of the Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony Fund. Their Monumental Women campaign will bring the first statue commemorating real women to New York City’s Central Park in 2020. We discuss the importance of honoring women and their contributions to society in public spaces.
Rethink history to shape the future
Women and people of color have been largely left out of our nation’s narrative, instilling the impression that they made no significant contribution to our society. Rethinking history in a more inclusive way allows us to see that a diverse group of people made a difference, and that all of us can shape our world and our future. It matters who we honor with monuments in public spaces.
The worth of women
The Monumental Women campaign to honor Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony with a statue in Central Park encountered an uphill battle that reflects how women continue to be excluded. The dearth of women in boardrooms, in the highest echelons of government, and in public monuments, confirms that women are still widely regarded as worth less than men.
Women are ready to advocate for themselves
The women’s suffrage movement is the largest nonviolent revolution in the history of the US. It took 72 years for women to achieve the right to vote. Recent marches and the rise of new movements for women’s equality are proof that women have a renewed commitment to augment their role in society and put their issues first.

Veckans panel och spaningar: Göran Everdahl: Levande statyer. Jessika Gedin: Monumental vardag. Jonas Hallberg: Saker som försvinner. Programledare för Spanarna i P1 är Ingvar Storm.

Pampiga statyer över stora personligheter restes ofta förr i våra städer och parker. Och nu är de tillbaka, ibland som ironiska konstnärliga installationer, ibland som uppriktiga men lite misslyckade porträtt som kan få betraktaren att grubbla över avsikterna.
Exemplen på denna trend är många, och väcker ofta debatt. Därför anar Göran att framtidens konstnärliga gestaltningar av berömda personligheter kommer att göras i mycket bräckliga material, lika flyktiga som tiden själv.
Även Jessikas spaning tog avstamp i det senaste årens rika och uppmärksammade renässans för skulpturen. Och hon var övertygad om att den skulle fortsätta. Inte för att hedra stora personligheter utan för att manifestera det tillsynes triviala. Hon anade att vi i framtiden skulle bygga monument över det allt det som ger vardagen innehåll och mening, och utmanar vår fantasi.
Många av de saker som idag förefaller helt oumbärliga i vår vardag kommer snart att helt försvinna och falla i glömska, t ex tandtråden, slipsen och den väggfasta konservöppnaren. Och vi kommer att bli tacksamma för slippa dem. Näst i tur står alla de småmynt som ligger och skräpar i fickor och handväskor.
Även i den lilla världen sker stora förändringar som alla har anledning att glädjas åt.
I Spanarna hör du en panel med tre ovanligt skarpsynta personligheter som försöker avläsa tendenserna i det vardagliga bruset, för att sedan presentera sina framtidsvisioner för dig. Allt, högt som lågt blandas i skön förening.
Programledare är Ingvar Storm.
Spanarna sänds fredagar klockan 15.04, repris lördag klockan 00.02 och klockan 10.03, samt söndag klockan 21.03 i P1.
