NEWYORK: New York City Mayor Eric Adams unveiled the “Ground Zero 360” art installation, which honors victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York City, in the City Hall Rotunda.
The exhibition — which has visited over 60 cities during the last 14 years — uses photography, artifacts, and artwork to tell the stories of the 9/11 victims and their families.
It showcases themes of courage, loss, and resilience during and following the attacks and provides a space for remembrance and unity.
“More than two decades ago, we promised that we would never forget, and this collection of photographs, paintings, and artifacts is one the countless ways we remember. These images of dust, darkness, sorrow, and exhaustion call us back to the sacrifices and struggles made by so many New Yorkers on that day and in the years that followed,” said Mayor Adams.
“While we rebuilt our city and our lives together, we will always remember those who gave their all for this city. Thank you to ‘Ground Zero 360’ for sharing these images and artifacts with all the world and keeping the flame of memory burning bright.”
Ground Zero 360 — which comes ahead of the 24th anniversary of the September 11th attacks — honors the resilience, unity, and sacrifice of New York City after the September 11, 2001 attacks. The exhibition ensures the heroism of so many New Yorkers is never forgotten and reinforces the city’s ongoing commitment to remembrance.
“On 9/11, we witnessed unimaginable loss and extraordinary courage,” said Paul McCormick, CEO, Ground Zero 360. “Ground Zero 360 honors the lives taken, the sacrifice of first responders, and the unity that defined New York in its darkest hour.”
