This event has ended.
Timed to coincide with the anniversaries of the catastrophic events of September 11, 2001 and with Superstorm Sandy, Homeland [IN]Security: Vanishing Dreams seeks to examine artists’ responses to the many man-made and natural disasters that have resulted in the crippling of global economies and an increase in homeless populations around the world. Religious and political conflicts, the near collapse and apparent fragility of the global financial system, a worldwide recession, nuclear disasters and a series of devastating tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes along with record droughts, wildfires, floods, and glacial ice melts all seem to have occurred with greater frequency in recent years. Any one of these calamities would be sufficient to challenge our sense of well-being, but together, they engender a sense of unrelenting universal fear and anxiety. In response, we all experience an intense longing for safe haven, for home and security in a world that seems increasingly hostile and unpredictable.
