Surviving the Long Wars Veteran Art Summit: Residues and Rebellions at Newberry Library
Join military veterans and poets Erika Renee Land, Monty Little (Diné), Dunya Mikhail, and Carlos Sirah on March 16 at the Newberry's Ruggles Hall for an evening of poetry exploring the disparate impacts of war and the search for a path toward solidarity.
This event will also provide a closer look at the Newberry exhibition Residues and Rebellions. The exhibition coincides with the second Veteran Art Triennial and Summit, titled Surviving the Long Wars, held this year in Chicago. The exhibition at Newberry Library is open from February 28 through May 27, 2023.
Other Surviving the Long Wars Veteran Art Summit opening program events include Unlikely Entanglements on March 17 at Hyde Park Art Center and Reckon and Reimagine on March 18 at Chicago Cultural Center.
ABOUT 'SURVIVING THE LONG WARS' PROJECT:
From the US “Indian Wars” to the “Global War on Terror,” Surviving the Long Wars explores the multiple overlapping histories that shape our understanding of warfare, as well as alternative visions of peace, healing, and justice generated by diverse communities impacted by war.
Inspired by the powerful artwork of Indigenous and Native American artists responding to the US “Indian Wars,” and artists of the Greater Middle East reacting to the “Global War on Terror,” Surviving the Long Wars focuses on how these artistic responses complicate and entangle with the artistic practices of veterans. The featured artworks, projects, and programs create opportunities for people to deepen their understanding of the impact of war.
