Comeback Season: Sports After 9/11 is a special exhibit that explores how sports and athletes helped to unite the country following the 2001 attacks.
C&G Partners was tasked with the exhibition design, graphic design, and sound & media production for Comeback Season: Sports After 9/11. This is a special exhibition at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. The emotions of sports crowds at various points after 9/11 is an effective way to frame the story arc, using design gestures to take visitors back to those key moments in stadiums and portray the changing emotions of a whole nation. Working closely with the museum staff, the exhibition was divided into nine sections, with additional stations dedicated to stories of victims and their families. Each section includes dramatically large images, custom short documentaries, objects from the museum’s collection or on loan for the exhibit, and poignant quotes.
