Surviving the Long Wars Book Discusion w/Faheem Majeed
@ Walls Turned Sideways
2717 W Madison St, Chicago, IL 60612
Opening Thursday, October 2nd, from 7PM - 9PM
Faheem Majeed will moderate a discussion on the Surviving the Long Wars book with co-editor Aaron Hughes and contributing artists Dorothy Burge, Brittney Chantele, and Eric Perez.
Surviving the Long Wars: Creative Rebellion at the Ends of Empire (Bridge Books, 2024) offers a groundbreaking exploration into the complex histories of US warfare and militarism, illuminating the pivotal role of art in cultivating justice, healing, and abolition. Inspired by Indigenous responses to the “American Indian Wars” and artists from the Greater Middle East and South Asia challenging the “Global War on Terror,” this volume examines the intersections between these legacies of creative rebellion and the experiences of contemporary Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) veterans. Informed by the emerging Veteran Art Movement and its ties to global struggles for demilitarization and abolition, the book advocates for solidarity and imaginative resistance against war and empire.
