The large, colorful installation was created by two Australian artists to bring the story of the LGBTQIA+ community to life in a dynamic way. “Live 4 Love” is an inflatable structure that stands over 20 feet tall and is covered with powerful design symbols that represent freedom, inclusion, gender diversity, friendship, and adversity. In the evenings, the installation will be illuminated with internal LED lights and act as a large-scale lantern. On June 14, the installation will come to life in the Oculus and will remain on public display until June 28. Segments of the installation will subsequently be showcased during New York City’s Pride March on June 30.
“When we set about rebuilding the World Trade Center, our goal was to create a place full of life and creativity that would reflect who we are as New Yorkers,” said Larry A. Silverstein, Chairman, Silverstein Properties, Inc. “We are proud to celebrate Pride Month with this terrific installation in the Oculus. It is fun, it’s exciting, it’s creative, and it’s what we are all about.”
“The World Trade Center has always been a worldwide icon, symbolizing the diversity of lifestyles and cultures from around the globe,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton. “That’s why we are proud to join with all of the campus’s stakeholders in focusing on the LGBTQ+ community this month to foster an inclusive environment for all those who visit or work here and those who live around the campus.”
