EXHIBITIONS
Here Was New York: Twin Towers in Memorial Images - Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC)
Photos will be accepted from Monday, July 24 until Thursday, August 31, 2006

You're Invited to Participate in a Photo Exhibition Commemorating the 5th Anniversary of 9/11

From September 7- September 30th, "Here Was New York: Twin Towers in Memorial Images," will be held simultaneously in various galleries in Brooklyn, including 5+5 Gallery, Safe-t-Gallery, and Gloria Kennedy Gallery, all located at 111 Front Street Galleries in DUMBO, to mark the fifth anniversary of September 11th.

"Here Was New York" seeks photos that document the Twin Towers as they appear throughout the New York Metropolitan region in vernacular expressions such as wall murals, shrines, custom painting on trucks, logos, graffiti, tattoos, merchandise display, window stickers, and so on. Curated by BAC folklorist Kay Turner, the impetus for the exhibit stems from a wish to acknowledge local forms of remembrance that keep the Twin Towers visible to us as we go about our daily post- 9/11 lives. "Never forget" means never forget that day, but in another sense it means never forget what was before that day.
