White Flags - Aaron Fein
An Artistic Response to 9/11

Aaron Fein conceived the idea of an entire world comprised of white flags in the months following 9/11. He observed how all the American flag bumper stickers – our symbol of permanence and comfort after the attacks -  began to lose their color in a slow, but inevitable fade to white. He says, "I wondered whimsically with a tinge of grief, if more than just the differences in our flags could fade away, ultimately rendering a more united world."

Screening and Discussion of the Film Beyond Belief
"You choose your way into yourselves" is a most apt description of how two Boston widows chose to live their lives in the years following their husbands' deaths on planes that crashed into the World Trade Center on 9/11. These two women traveled to Afghanistan to meet Afghani women who were also widows and helped the Afghani widows to discover means to support their families.
