IF YOU MISSED THIS EVENT, YOU ARE MISSING THE FLEFF EXPERIENCE!

The inspirational socio-documentarian and artist Monica Haller discussed her evolutionary work, The Veterans Book Project, Tuesday April 12.

Working along with graphic designer Matthew Rezac and software developer Mark Fox, Haller collaborates with many war veterans from the Afghan and Iraq wars. 

"The Veterans Book Project is a library of books authored collaboratively by artist Monica Haller and dozens of people who have been affected by, and have archives of, the current American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In their printed format, the books provide a place or “container” that slows down and materializes the great quantity of ephemeral image files that live on veterans’ hard drives and in their heads.

Each book re-deploys volatile images with the aim of rearticulating and refashioning memories. It stands both independent of and in concert with the larger collection."
