Our Grief Is Not a Cry for War

2001, 3:36 min, color, sound

On October 11, 2001, in Times Square, New York City, an ad hoc group of artists named Our Grief Is Not a Cry for War silently demonstrated for peace at a time when the nation was clamoring for war and sacrificing its own civil liberties. Hammer documents the demonstration and, in so doing, makes her own contribution to the national post–September 11 dialogue.
