Wow! This exhibit is so cool! I loved the immersive experience, I think learning more about the tiger in their habitat, hearing the stories of those in the village that have to live alongside the tigers, as well as thoughts on coexistence were especially powerful and likely perspectives that most of us have not heard before. Making intentional space for these perspectives too helps to make sure that we have time to really think about each in isolation.
Visiting the 9/11 museum core exhibition remains one of the more memorable experiences I’ve had with an exhibit. I was in New York during 9/11, but remember it mostly from a child’s perspective and the worry that came along with it for my friends and family. Visiting the museum as an adult brought me back in a different way. I really felt for everyone in the trade center and I was starting out in finance at the time, so hearing the stories of those with similar backgrounds to me at that stage, just starting their finance career at Cantor Fitzgerald, and then their lives being cut short at such a young age really stuck with me. Seeing the name of someone I knew on the wall, the artifacts from the time and the news coverage did as well. They really tried hard to make it so you could feel the emotions and experiences of that day and the days that followed through a multisensory experience.
Immersive experiences like yours are powerful and make it so that we can come in multiple times and see things from new perspectives and with new eyes. So cool to see you engaged in such meaningful work 😊🫶
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your experience with the 9/11 memorial. I have not visited that myself, it sounds quite powerful and emotional. I'm also sorry to hear of your loss of someone you knew, Janet. <3
Some inspirations for our exhibit were parallels in the Americans exhibit at the National Museum of the American Indian shared by a colleague and the work from Future Colossal.
