In March 2023, the Veteran Art Summit hosted four days of exciting programming that emphasized building relationships and fostering community care.
From the “American Indian Wars” to the “Global War on Terror,” the SURVIVING THE LONG WARS (STLW) summit explored 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. The summit featured the STLW performance program and concluding discussion series of the yearlong NEH Dialogues on the Experience of War program. There were poetry readings, panels, artmaking and movement workshops, a portfolio review, exhibition tours, fifteen-minute Open Platform presentations, and more.
