This panel, organized by Mason Exhibitions, brings together curators and participating artists from a trilogy of veteran art exhibitions on view across George Mason University's three Northern Virginia campuses during Fall 2026. Through artistic practices, storytelling, and public programs, these exhibitions explore the complex geographies of memory, trauma, care, identity, and healing stemming from the Vietnam War up through the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The panel will examine how art can function as a form of witness, dialogue, peacebuilding, and lifesaving.
