Please Visit Iraq Veterans Against The War
“2,191 Days and Counting” is a three week art exhibition, from March 5th – March 22nd, held at Powerhouse Arena in DUMBO, Brooklyn. All proceeds from art sales will be going to the Winter Soldier project of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), which collects soldiers’ firsthand accounts of wartime experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. An opening reception with the artists, including Jim Nachtwey, Joyce Kozloff, Joan Snyder, David Opdyke, Martha Rosler, Steve McCurry and Joy Garnett, will take place on Saturday, March 7th at 6PM, and for $10 at the door you may enjoy gourmet food, beverages and performances, including IVAW members speaking about the Winter Soldier project. As the nation nears the six-year anniversary of the wars, IVAW hopes to expose true narratives while encouraging debate aimed at ending these wars.
