Tucson memorial for shooting victims elevates art born from tragedy

Eleven years ago this past weekend, on Jan. 8, a gunman opened fire at a political event in Arizona. That moment in 2011 underscored both the dangerous divisions and the epidemic of gun violence in America. Stephanie Sy visits Tucson, where a Jan. 8 memorial is steeped in symbolism starting with its location. It's part of our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
Correction: The names of the landscape architects who designed the Embrace were not included in this piece. They are Tina Chee and Marc Salette of CHEE SALETTE.
