The exhibit, “POST:September11” features more than 3000 index cards filled out by New Yorkers in the days following the attacks. Some feature messages of solidarity, others calls for revenge, other prayers for peace. They were originally collected and posted in windows alongside 42nd Street in Times Square by the art group chashama.

Since 2001, an additional 2000 cards have been collected from exhibitions in 2002 & 2007 in NYC and Rochester. Marking the 10th Anniversary,POST:September11 will be exhibited in NYC, Rochester, Los Angeles and Atlanta. This exhibit will be presented in collaboration with METHOD MACHINE, chashama and other national arts groups.

Index cards and markers will be available at each of the sites during specified times, and people are welcome to write their own thoughts. The new cards will be added to the collection.

Henderson is hoping people will check out and contribute to the “Post:September11” exhibit. “It’s an opportunity to see how another community experienced a national tragedy,” he says. “We all experienced 9/11, but as the exhibit shows, each person saw it in his [or her] own way. At the same time, it goes to show you how we’re all alike and all have these thoughts.”
