  "account": "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. The United States weaponized the attacks to pass the PATRIOT Act and justify invasions, deeply impacting these communities. Hyperallergic asked artists and culture workers to share their experiences, and these stories are now being shared.",
