EVENT PURPOSE

9/11/2003 will bring with it the opportunity for reflection. Because the events of two years ago have affected us in many lingering ways. For some, September 11 2001 and its aftermath have brought an increase in tolerance, for others a decrease, for some it reinforced what they already felt about the future, but for others it opened a new window to look out of. Many simply want to move on. Yet even moving forward requires looking back. Art can help us remember with its ability to abstract; it can touch a place in us that allows complicated and powerful emotions to come to the surface in a manageable and meaningful way. And images, without boundaries imposed by language, have the ability to reach across the lines that often divide us. Art that everyone is invited to participate in, such as crane folding or lantern making, allows us all to come together in recognition of our common humanity, and strengthens a sense of community.
EVENT / ACTIVITY
From 10am-8pm the public will be invited to view art and bring photos of remembered ones, or flowers and messages, and will be free to join ongoing origami or lantern making workshops. At 8pm sharp, a walk to the Martin Luther King Memorial Fountain will depart from the gallery. Participants will carry paper lanterns to the fountain, walk around it, and pause for a moment of silent meditation or reflection, then return to the gallery with their lanterns. All lanterns and cranes will be added to the WTCHP collection.
