Description
Experiencing Veterans and Artists Collaborations Print Project (EVAC) is an art project that brings together veterans and artists. EVAC curators interviewed veterans about their experiences, and artists made an edition of prints based on their interpretation of those stories. The prints are exhibited alongside excerpts from the transcribed interviews. Combining oral histories and visual imagery, this exhibition format offers multiple examples of the power of storytelling. EVAC works to promote a better understanding of veteran experiences and bridge the gap between military and civilian life.
