Opening Reception, Around the World Trade Center: Artist Showcase
Opening reception of "Around WTC," a World Trade Center art exhibit by photographer Samuel Vovsi. In 2007, Vovsi began working in Jersey City, steps from the Hudson waterfront, with a direct view of the World Trade Center site. Witnessing the void left in the Manhattan skyline, he felt a profound sense of loss. Over the years, as he moved to an office in Lower Manhattan near the emerging Freedom Tower, he captured the rebirth of the WTC. This exhibit showcases a selection of his powerful images, documenting the dramatic story of the new World Trade Center rising from the ashes of the old. Meet the artist and experience his journey through his lens. Register. Free. Center for Modern Ageing Princeton, 101 Poor Farm Rd Building B, Princeton

Hopewell Library Speakers Series - Martha McPhee at Hopewell Theatre
Local, award-winning novelist Martha McPhee just published her first memoir, Omega Farm. Martha grew up on Omega Farm in Ringoes with her four sisters, five step siblings, mother, and stepfather, in a house filled with art, people, and the kind of chaos that was sometimes benevolent, sometimes more sinister. The pandemic brought Martha home again to her childhood farm to care for her ailing mother. With her husband and children in tow, Martha strives to nurture the present (along with a forest) while the past relentlessly asserts itself—even as Martha's mother, the person she might share her memories with or even try to hold to account, no longer knows who Martha is.
