Turbulent Forces
Barbara Brooks Maywood

One week after the destruction of New York's World Trade Centre in September 2001, The Guardian Weekly newspaper published a photograph taken by photojournalist Gulnara Samoilova.

The photograph depicts a group of people walking away from the World Trade Centre site through a street littered with debris, and clouded with the choking dust that rushed through the surrounding area when the towers collapsed. In the forefront of this group are seven people, bound together by the urgency of the situation. Six figures are intent on putting some distance between themselves and the shattered towers, while one lone figure, in opposition to the tide, makes his way towards the devastation.

This exhibition is a response to that moment on September 11, 2001 and a silent homage to the horror endured by the victims of that attack. It is also a reflection on the path taken by the world in the five years since 9/11.

Exhibition date: October 12 – November 10, 2006
