The remnants left behind are now on display in New York City as part of a moving immersive exhibition titled The Nova Music Festival Exhibition: October 7th 06:29AM, which will be open to the public beginning on Sunday (April 21).
The installation includes remains salvaged from the festival grounds, including scorched cars, bullet-riddled bathroom stalls and personal belongings all left behind. There is additionally a healing tent, a lighthouse with the declaration, “We will dance again.” The New York exhibit also includes video testimonies from survivors, volunteers and family members, as well as raw footage taken on Oct. 7 from both festival attendees and Hamas militants. Donations from the exhibition will go to the Nova Healing Journey, an initiative that supports mental health treatment for victims and families of the October 7 massacre.
Several survivors of the brutal attack are spotlighted at the exhibition, and Billboard took photos of the brave group during a preview of the installation. See the powerful survivors and their stories below.
