cedarliberty Project: A multi-media film installation

On September 11, 2001, artist Elena del Rivero’s studio-home, located directly across from the World Trade Center, was badly damaged during the collapse of the towers. Drawing from hours of footage that was taken both inside and outside of del Rivero’s studio, the resulting film installation—created in collaboration with filmmaker Leslie McCleave—reflects the enormity of the tragedy’s aftermath.

Documenting a Decade: From September 11, 2001 to Today

As we look back over the past ten years, the New York State Museum shows photographs that document the post-9/11 world. The photographs were submitted by the public and selected for this exhibition. In addition, all of the photographs submitted for this exhibition can be seen on Flickr. Photographs will continue to be accepted during the exhibition’s run.
