From a field of 1,500 submissions from around the world, new work by Michael Bernard Loggins will be included with works by 300 artists in “Terror?” at Intersection for the Arts.

“Terror?” is an international interdisciplinary project investigating how each one of us experiences fear and how itaffects our lives. Opening on the 5th Anniversary of 9/11, this ambitious exhibition will include hundreds of works on paper from around the world — creating a cacophony of personal and collective response to some of the most immediate questions and issues of our times. What is terror? Who perpetrates it? How does fear control us, and the world around us? Who are we taught to be afraid of, why? What does fear cost? Where does personal fear intersect with larger societal and political messages of terror? It is our hope and intention to engage with and share voices and perspectives from a diversity of cultures, political situations,and artistic practices, and to counter the continuing trend towards defining and understanding notions of terror and fear as a monolithic paradigm framed by the ongoing “war on terror.” In addition to an exhibition in the gallery, “Terror?” includes a film screening, readings, public discussions, and performance.
