Art2Action presents a 9/11 Village Gathering: Reflections & Conversation livestreaming on the commons-based, peer-produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Friday 17 September 2021 at 12 p.m. PDT (San Francisco, UTC -7) / 2 p.m. CDT (Chicago, UTC -5) / 3 p.m. EDT (New York, UTC -4).

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Art2Action, Greenwich House Music School, The New York City AIDS Memorial, Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, and Village Preservation held A Village Gathering at the New York City AIDS Memorial Park. It was as a space for reflection, remembrance, and creative expression. This event, held under the shade of the AIDS Memorial and surrounding park grounds, offered attendees and passersby a communal experience to mark this day. Performances included music by Scott Johnson and Victor Caccese, James Scruggs’ new work Severe Clear, excerpts from Andrea Assaf’s Eleven Reflections on September, and Ash Morinaccio’s 20 Years Later project, hosted by emcee Troy Anthony. There was also an opportunity for community members to record their own stories as part of this event.


Now on HowlRound, Art2Action presents documentation of the New York 9/11 Village Gathering, filmed and edited by Kacey Anisa, framed by a livestreamed discussion among artists whose work and lives have been deeply impacted by the tragedy of 9/11/2001, and the wars and policies that followed in the post-9/11 era: Andrea Assaf, Heather Raffo, and James Scruggs.
