Witness and Response
The events of five years ago today, and the world that followed, demand I write only a short post today, pointing us all to the absolute power and passion of creative expression in times of grief and confusion. A few thousand cases in point are available through the Library of Congress and their Witness & Response exhibit.
One worthy example is the Exit Art collection, which asked for creative responses to the attacks, confined to 8-1/2 x 11 pieces of paper. They received over 2400 from all over the world.
Art is clearly not a frill. It is a force.
