Exhibition Schedule
Exhibitions of submitted quilts take place at community events, and
the quilts are also be exhibited in museums, galleries and quilt shows.
The community events are modeled after the
AIDS Memorial Quilt
exhibitions. The quilt panels are sometimes joined and displayed on the
ground, and the general public is invited to view the quilts and
grieve. When the quilts are exhibited in museums, galleries and quilt
shows, the panels are hung separately on the wall.

Lower Manhattan Cultural Council,
September 11 Quilts: Mending a Diverse Community of
Artists,
video documentary on the September 11 Quilts memorial exhibition.

Over a period of six months Drunell collected and compiled
video footage relating to the experiences of several participants who have
made quilts for the September 11 Quilts memorial exhibition. The
result is a 20-minute documentary that illuminates how participation
in the project and the making and viewing of the quilts have helped
individuals to grieve and given them a renewed appreciation of life.
This spirit of community and the experiences garnered from this
exhibition are documented in the video.
