EXHIBITION PROPOSAL:
STAR-SPANGLED, A Walking Tour of America After 9/11 from Cape Cod to the Santa Monica Pier.
B/W photography by Roger Arvid Anderson
WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN. September 11, 2001... History happened and America reacted. Hi-jacked planes hit the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon. Fast-acting heroes prevented another plane from hitting the White House. The tragic and tumultuous events of 9/11 shocked the nation. Overnight, ordinary Americans all over the country put up spontaneous memorials to those who had sacrificed their lives. As photographer Roger Arvid Anderson discovered, you couldn't aim a camera without finding a flag, that one common but mighty thread that united the country as we mourned the dead, saluted the brave and reaffirmed our enduring commitment to the ideals of freedom.
STAR-SPANGLED is a look back at 9/11, but with a national perspective. For those who never got to walk among the memorials on Liberty Street in New York, this will be their chance, and for those who never left Manhattan this will be their chance to see how the rest of the country responded. Altogether, it calls out to be shared: the people, the places, the insightful crayon drawings of children, the desperate messages of hope taped to the missing wall, followed by the inevitable memorials posted in door wells and windows all across America. In his year long journey recording this heart-felt phenomenon Roger Arvid Anderson packed two cameras and wore out three pairs of sensible shoes. He walked through cities, towns and villages from as far as Cape Cod on the Atlantic, to Minneapolis on the Mississippi, to the Santa Monica Pier on the Pacific... join him as his remarkable photographs take you step by step from sea to shining sea.
