Altered Skyline: Brenda Berkman’s Thirty-Six Views of One World Trade Center

How do we process the individual and collective memories of national trauma? How can we frame these difficult histories while navigating a path towards healing and rebuilding? On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, this exhibition presents a series of lithographs by former FDNY fire officer and 9/11 first responder Brenda Berkman ’73 documenting the construction of One World Trade Center in New York City. Berkman deftly weaves our collective memory of the Twin Towers and 9/11 with her personal observations of the changing NYC skyline.
