Twenty five years after 9/11, we remember the people whose work helped shape New York and its future.

This contemporary tintype portrait of Joe ‘Flo’ by artist Melissa Cacciola is part of her series “Skywalkers: The Legacy of the Mohawk Ironworkers at the World Trade Center. @melissacacciola_tintype

In creating the portraits, Cacciola also interviewed the Kanien’kehá:ka ironworkers who volunteered in the rescue and recovery efforts, preserving their stories alongside their images.

On display @lawmcgill New Chancellor Day Hall (3rd floor) with David Grant Noble’s photographs of Kahnawà:ke ironworkers in New York City, Joe’s portrait connects generations and honours a lasting legacy.

Happy World Photography Day! 📸

American artist and educator Jules Allen honed his photographic style on the streets of New York City. This print is part of Allen’s “Hat and HatNots” series, in which he explored the significance of the hat in Black life.

More than simply an accessory, the hat can carry powerful connotations of identity, power, and social mobility. Through his photographs, Allen invites us to consider the stories and meanings woven into everyday style.

See this photographic print on the 3rd floor the @lawmcgill New Chancellor Day Hall in the”New York City Alumni Lobby”
