American History 2000 – 2012

United States Visual Time Line

of Our 21st Century by Gaye Lub

When 9/11 happened I could not stop seeing the events of that day because they were everywhere I looked, television, newspapers, magazines even tabloids in lines at the grocery stores.

I started collecting images and putting videos into the recorder to capture documentaries and political debates of current events.

This exhibit is an attempt to share what WE saw and the hidden connections found in the first 13 years of this century. It is also an invitation to remember and empower ourselves as active citizens, by peeking behind the curtain and building together the reality we want to live in.
