黑锥纪念碑
About 黑锥纪念碑
在雷克雅未克的宁静公园中发现“黑锥”——一个引人注目的纪念碑。这块巨大的、开裂的灰色巨石，顶部插着一个光滑的黑色锥体，是对种族暴力和仇恨犯罪的深刻缅怀。
History & Background
“黑锥”被构想为一个强有力的艺术宣言，也是对种族暴力和仇恨犯罪受害者的纪念。它于2004年8月24日揭幕，成为冰岛第一个专门为此事业而设立的公共纪念碑。其创作的倡议来自各种人权组织和个人，旨在提高人们的意识并促进一个更具包容性的社会。 设计本身充满了象征意义。图片中突出的巨大灰色巨石，以其粗糙的天然纹理和深刻的垂直裂缝，代表着社会或世界，它可能因偏见和仇恨而分裂。插入巨石顶部的光滑黑色锥形物体象征着“黑线”——一个比喻，代表了社会分裂、歧视以及造成伤害和隔阂的“耻辱线”。 这座纪念碑位于宁静的Hljómskálagarður公园，作为对人权、宽容和尊重的永久提醒。它的存在鼓励了关于社会正义的持续对话，并确保那些因种族暴力而遭受苦难的人的记忆在雷克雅未克市中心得到尊重和永不遗忘。
