Community Dialogue Tomorrow!



Art at War - Community Dialogue Session
October 17, 2011


UPDATE!

Art at War will feature two presentations by local artists.

Chris Hennebery, a war veteran and artist, will discuss a history of war art as well as a glimpse into his new series: Painting to Afghanistan.

Lori Weidenhammer, who is curating the Firehall's photo exhibition opening October 20th entitled Peace at War: Service and Sacrifice, will speak about her research for the show and present some of the archival images of Vancouver she will be curating.

This dialogue will look into the practice of documenting war through art and how it has evolved over the years.

Seeing as how we will be discussing art, rather than having this session be a straight dialogue, we have prepared readings of literature and poems written about and during war times that can then be discussed as well featuring images created about combat.

DATES: October 17, 7pm
at the Audain Gallery, SFU Woodward's
149 W. Hastings Street
