Join Chhange and renowned artist Tobi Kahn for a memorial program marking the 20th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Tobi witnessed the devastation of the attacks from the roof of his Long Island City studio, and has since created numerous works and exhibitions related to 9/11. Among these are Embodied Light: 9-11 in 2011, commissioned by the Educational Alliance of New York and M’ AHL, a sculpture included in the 9/11 Memorial Museum’s 2016 Rendering the Unthinkable exhibit. He will discuss these projects and others, along with the ways that art can be a redemptive, healing force in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
