Brenda Ann Kenneally, Andrew Lichtenstein, Carlos Javier Ortiz, Lucian Perkins, and Anthony Suau
September 9 – November 18, 2011

7.4.11 documents the various ways in which diverse groups of people commemorated this year’s holiday. One’s interpretations of such imagery often change based on the political climate, and have certainly forever been shifted
given events in recent history. The photographs in 7.4.11 offer an introspective viewing experience that in return may affect the way in which one actually participates in such festivities in the future. 7.4.11 includes photographs by the photojournalists of Facing Change: Documenting America, a non-profit collective
of acclaimed photojournalists and writers coming together to document the critical issues facing America.

This exhibition is in partnership with The 9/11 Arts Project
