Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg is a visual artist who has demonstrated the power of art to touch lives. In Fall of 2020, images of Firstenberg's "In America: How Could This Happen" appeared in over 600 news articles on six continents, making visible the pandemic’s cost in American lives. In September 2021, she recreated this art installation on the National Mall. For 17 days, over 650,000 white flags fluttered near the Washington Monument. To ensure access for all, Firstenberg partnered with Esri, Inc, the global leader in geographic information systems, to present the art concurrently in the digital sphere. Firstenberg believes in times like ours, when words fall on unlistening ears, art is not an elective, but an imperative. Join in to view photos of her art and learn how she became an artist and is inspired. Hosted by Bethesda Metro Area Village and Connie Morella library. .
