Public Meditation: September 11th 20th Anniversary

September 11, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Free

Pelham Art Center will host a public meditation on Saturday, September 11th 12:00-2:00pm. Inside the gallery, visitors are invited to participate in a silent group meditation memorializing 9/11 and all those whose lives are lost and affected. Outside in the courtyard, guests may share reflections and experiences. This event is free and open to all who wish to remember, reflect, and invoke peace through meditation. Our public meditation accompanies the gallery exhibition GESTURE by Manju Shandler.

About the Exhibition:
Manju Shandler’s nearly 3000-piece painting installation, GESTURE, is a memorial to those lost on September 11th, 2001. Reflecting the size of this tragedy with one painting for each person lost, it is a personal study of the tremendous ramifications of this day in our collective history. Gesture is a meditation on the many facets of life, death, the past, and the future that have been inextricably altered by that single day. Completed over a three-year period, the style and content of each of the approximately 3,000 pieces spans the range of human emotion from horrific to uplifting, from dark to light.
