  • Artist Statements
    Hand to Hand Artist and Director’s Statement Cecelia Kane October 15, 2010 Since the beginning of the Iraq War in March 2003, I painted a news story almost daily on white cotton gloves. These gloves depict the newspaper headline, the date the story appeared and my reaction to the event. Each glove became a "rosary bead" in an ongoing meditation of war witnessing. I used gloves as my medium after finding several vintage pairs belonging to my mother after her death. Some of the leather ones still retained the shape of her hands. For me they became stand-ins for humanity. Since January 2006, I expanded the project to include other artists in a variety of media as a living community dialog. Each artist signed up for a specific week. They chose a news story a day and created hand-related art works in response. The range of media and variety of creative approaches by these artists introduced fresh perspectives, beyond the original scope of my personal Hand to Hand project. There are 196 artists participating from eight countries and seventeen states, including two Iraqi refugee girls, a contractor with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers stationed in Baghdad, and a Marine on the U.S.S. Boxer in the Gulf of Hormuz, who provided their own personal war news. There are approximately 2,000 artworks in media ranging from video and sound to glass, photography, painting, printmaking, digital media, metal, clay, sewing and embroidery. Hand to Hand concludes on August 31, 2010 to coincide with the date President Barack Obama pledged to withdraw all combat troops from Iraq.

  • Moral Injury and the American Service Member: What Leaders Don’T Talk About When They Talk About War
    ABSTRACT Moral Injury and the American Service Member: What Leaders Don’t Talk About When They Talk About War Lieutenant Colonel Douglas A. Pryer describes what moral injury is and how its validity as a mental health condition is supported, not just by a plethora of psychological studies but by a literary tradition that is probably older than the written word. He explores moral injury’s connection to two of the most talked-about trends during America’s recent wars, the U.S. military’s rapidly rising suicide rate and the nation’s growing reliance on remote-controlled weapons. Finally, he discusses how willful ignorance hampers efforts to prevent and treat moral injury and what must be done to overcome such self-delusion. Throughout, he employs impersonal research and intimate personal experience as lamps, using each to strengthen the light of the other in order to better illuminate his core argument: any nation or military that desires to truly honor its warriors must place perceptions of “what is right” at the forefront of its deliberations on when and how to wage war. BIO Lieutenant Colonel Doug Pryer grew up in Southwest Missouri. He graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Missouri State University and enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1992. After attending Officer Candidate School in 1995, he commissioned in the military intelligence branch. Since then, he has had several combat deployments and received numerous awards and decorations, including the Bronze Star, Combat Action Badge, and the Parachutist Badge. He graduated with a Master of Military Arts and Sciences (History) from CGSC in 2009.

  • Lest We Forget – the Other Victims of War
    Newsletter No. 18 Autumn 2010 £1 Lest We Forget – the other victims of war November is the month for remembering those who died in wars. The Congo figure comes from the International Rescue Committee Such remembering tends to be nationalistic; the British remember and has been corroborated by others, but also challenged. The the British dead, the Germans remember the German dead. And Human Security Report Project of Canada puts the number under of course, losses of family and friends are remembered no matter 3,000,000 – so that’s alright then? what your nationality. Much depends on how the numbers are The media determine very much the extent to which the public is measured. Many of these deaths are not made aware of wars, and from the combat itself, but are the which wars. In the UK we results of combat, such as malnutrition hear a lot about the war in and disease. Such deaths must surely be Afghanistan and of the remembered too; and accurate figures continuing violence in will always be difficult as a consequence. Iraq. This is to be expected, But we should not allow ourselves to be given the British blinded by numbers or get into fruitless involvement in both these arguments about them. Statistics do not suffer; nor do they bleed, starve, nor countries and the Congo – mother and child regrettable deaths of British become widows or orphans. soldiers. But what about Remembering should go beyond nationalism and militarism to a the soldiers of other common humanity. And shouldn’t the acknowledgement of war nations? What about other dead go beyond remembering? Should we not be educating wars - those where your ourselves that ultimately humans are one family? Genetically, there country, your relatives and is little difference between one human ‘race’ and another; it is so friends are not involved? small that the concept of ‘race’ becomes meaningless.
