In a reflection on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, artists, curators, and culture workers share their personal and artistic perspectives. Iraqi-born artist Wafaa Bilal recalls feeling the collapse of comfort and security in America, as did many from Muslim, South Asian, and Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) communities.
