Local reactions to terrorist attacks depicted on murals at Kansas Union
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
Beth Rowe, coordinator of the Fine Arts Committee for Student Union Activities, explains the genesis of a piece of art now on display at the Kansas Union gallery. The piece began as an opportunity to engage in arts and crafts on the lawn of Stauffer-Flint Hall last month. Many views are represented on the piece and Rowe said it was interesting to see military students working side by side with "hippies" on the project.
Peace, justice and the ability to keep faith are some of the words and emotions represented in the community murals on display in the Kansas Union gallery.
The murals were created in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks by fine arts students and Student Union Activities to give people in the University of Kansas community a way to express their feelings.
Beth Rowe, fine arts coordinator for SUA, said the murals gave people a chance to see the different perspectives people had about the attacks.
"It's kind of a way to show how people were reacting at the time to the murals, so I think it was something people needed to see," Rowe said.
One of the murals displays phrases like "love is the answer," and has a painting of the World Trade Center Towers with an American Flag draped across them. The other mural includes pictures of President Bush, the headline, "We will not yield," and a painting of the Statue of Liberty.
Rowe said she was excited about how the KU community came together to create the work.
Sarah Bray, St. Louis senior, said she had helped other students work on one of the murals.
She said the idea for the mural came from people trying to figure out what to do after the tragedy.
"I think for a lot of artists, this was a way to release a lot of those feelings, mixed emotions and ask different questions in a more visual and expressive way," she said.
Bray said she was pleasantly surprised at how well the mural came together because it was painted by a group of people. She said it was difficult to express the ideas and emotions of different people in one work of art.
