Overview

Call & Response: A Shrine for Healing

This site began as the documentation for an evolving exhibition featuring responses to the events and aftermath of September 11, 2001. The physical exhibition was held in the Lobby Gallery of the Sharadin Art Building of Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, September 17 - October 7, 2001. The show drew responses from approximately 200 participants including the university community, artists from the region, and mailed and electronically submitted pieces from artists throughout the country, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. After the physical show ended, we continued to maintain the site as a venue for ongoing artistic expressions on the subject.The site is now closed to submissions, but is presented here as a statement on those tumlultious times.

Both the original exhibition and the site was uncurated.
