The New Jersey Monuments to Migration and Labor project artists represent the powerful stories of Northern NJ (im)migrants and their labor. This exhibit employs visual art, poetry, photography, music, and streetwear to honor the people who built our region.

Exhibit, visitors will also have the opportunity to view designs by the NJMML monument artist for a multimedia monument to be installed in Paterson in the summer of 2026. Related programming in tandem with the exhibit will include live music performances, poetry readings, and opportunities to engage with local historians and storytellers as well as to share their own stories of migration and labor.

Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, March 7th from 1pm-4pm. The program will include NJMML monument artist Michelle Angela Ortiz presenting her design for the Paterson monument she will be creating.
