I don't like this monument because of the destabilizing nature that came with most christian missionaries during the colonization of Uganda in the 1800s. We can see in that picture some of the tribes men and women who were killed by their king when they converted to christianity. What I don't appreciate is the persistent  foul play behind the scene to gain an upper hand by the ruling colonial powers while innocent lives are lost.

This is the example of a counter monument that came to mind. This Satanic monument was granted temporary access to be mounted at the Akansas Capitol building in the USA. This event came about as a counter after the state allowed the erecting of the Ten Commandments at the Akansas Capitol grounds. Akansas is a predominantly conservative Christian state where unveiling of the Baphomet statue attracted a crowd of furious Christian protesters. The Satanic community voiced out their right to freedom of religion saying if the Ten Commandment monument is allowed to stand, so should the Baphomet statue. 

State Republican Senator. Jason Rupert who sponsored a 2015 bill that approved the placement of the Ten Commandment monument on the Capitol ground told reporters that he respects everyone’s right to free speech under the First Amendment.

But added that, "The people of Arkansas have the right to say that we disagree with your profane statements ... and really a war on the Ten Commandments." 

The senator further added that "It will be a very cold day in hell before an offensive statue will be forced upon us to be permanently erected on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol.”

Their is a Lawsuit filed against Rupert’s monument, initiated by the state chapter of American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) which argues that the display is discriminatory and unconstitutional. The Satanic temple is trying to join the ACLU lawsuit.

This counter monument caught my attention because like many others alike they seem to agitate a spiritual element in both place and space.

2. Halifax currently has a non-mandatory 1% policy for public construction projects. Should it adopt a mandatory Percent for Art policy? What are the risks?

3. In what circumstances may the moral rights of an artist become negligible? 

4. Based on the purposes and policies included in Halifax’s Public Art Policy, what worthwhile values and priorities are missing? How could this be addressed by new or amended policy?

5. Public/community consultation is key to the process of creating permanent public art projects. What does successful community consultation look like?
