Designing Memory: A Look Back at the 9/11 Memorial Competition
Thursday, September 25
5 – 6 p.m. ET
In January 2004, after an international competition that drew over 5,000 submissions from 63 countries, a final design for the 9/11 Memorial was chosen. Introduced by CEO of Bloomberg Philanthropies Patricia E. Harris and moderated by Executive Vice President of Collections & Chief Curator Dr. Jan Ramirez, this program brings together two jury members — family member Paula Berry and historian James E. Young — to examine the gravity and complexity of the Memorial competition.
Intersections: Comic Books, Philanthropy, and 9/11
Thursday, October 23
6 – 7 p.m. ET
Comic books are a powerful and versatile medium to explore difficult subject blending visual and textual storytelling to reflect real-world events. In conversation with Vice President of People & Culture Alejandro Victoria, comic book artist John Romita Jr. and graphic novelist Edgardo Miranda-Rodríguez, discuss the legacy of 9/11 in comics and the medium’s power to heal and give back.
Documenting Destruction: The Story of Hangar 17
Wednesday, October 29
6 – 7 p.m. ET
In the aftermath of 9/11, approximately 1.8 million tons of building materials filled Ground Zero. Amid the heart-wrenching search for victims, a parallel effort began: the meticulous identification and preservation of the personal items of those killed and the remnants of the World Trade Center. In conversation with Museum Director Clifford Chanin, former Port Authority project manager Amory Houghton III, architect Mark Wagner, and founder and principal of Art Preservation Services Steven Weintraub will reflect on how Hangar 17 at JFK International Airport became the central repository for these powerful remnants.
The 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s programs are made possible, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
