2006 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Lovella will interview members of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) about why they oppose the war and their experiences in the military. Their interviews will be displayed alongside portraits of the members that Lovella will create. In addition, she will facilitate workshops in New York and New Orleans at IVAW convenings for members to create and share artistic work about their experiences as veterans. The final book will help break down societal stereotypes of who veterans are, providing a lens into the hearts of people who have a deep and intimate relationship with the Iraq war. The art workshops provide veterans with the opportunity for healing and creating a stronger sense of community as they connect on a personal and artistic level. Excerpts from the book will be presented in an exhibit in Philadelphia and Vermont.
