Command Purpose with Project Raha links and information
Sisters of Service website and information on the US & Afghan veteran women
Affirmation Arts located at 415 West 13th Street, New York, NY 10014
As a participant in Project Raha, I shared my practice and led the creative making among U.S. and Afghan women veterans during art retreats in Texas. Inspired by our shared experiences and the transformation of military and personal materials into paper and pulp, we embarked on a creative odyssey where the women made work both individually and collectively. After our profoundly impactful retreats, I created a body of work inspired by our time together. This journey was guided by the resilience and connection I witnessed among my fellow veteran sisters, allowing the encounter and materials to speak to my practice. With this new work, I visually narrate the powerful stories that were shared with me, paying homage to the bonds we forged through service and the collective healing that transcends national and cultural divides.
