Public Art Installation/Performance 

Minneapolis, Minnesota 
First and Tenth Anniversary of 9/11

On September 11th of 2002, the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks, we organized a public art performance on the bank of Mississippi river, in Minneapolis, Minnesota called the Frozen Tears. We distributed a recipe for an ice boat we called the frozen tear and invited people to show up with their own tears at 9 PM to launch them on to the current at exactly 9:11 PM. More than three hundred people showed up to float their frozen tears on the river expressing their passion for peace and mourning for all lives lost. There was live music and great comradary.

This event was repeated again for the tenth anniversary of the attacks this last September.
