Capturing the quiet sounds and remarkable images of Suzanne Firstenberg's "In America.”
The installation honors the, to date, 225,000 Americans who have died from covid-19, the disease caused by coronavirus. Each of the individual flags represents an individual person who has passed away from covid-19. Some flags have been planted by relatives of those who passed. Others were placed by Suzanne herself, by a cast of volunteers, or visitors to the memorial.
This installation is planned to run from October 23 - November 6, 2020. It’s located near the DC Armory and RFK Stadium. The closest address is 1900 East Capitol Street NE, for the adjacent parking lot.
