You are invited to a Veteran's Conversation in conjunction with the art exhibition Material Acts of Resistance by Michèle Colburn. This gathering will explore how art can serve as a powerful medium for reflection, healing, and resistance. Colburn’s mixed-media works—created from materials such as gunpowder, wire, thread, and burnt paper—transform the tools and symbols of conflict into contemplative expressions of endurance, vulnerability, and renewal. Veterans, guests, and community members are invited to engage in dialogue about how creative practices can reframe experiences of conflict, foster resilience, and open space for meaning-making beyond violence.
