"Fire For Effect," Paul Pearce

A showcase of both old and new work by Paul Pearce, a combat veteran who is haunted by his past. His work has evolved form anti-war to an introspective exploration of the culture of war and violence. He believes society exists in a world of tension and division –- a dark cloud of fear and paranoia threatens humanity's sense of well being.

"How We Rebuild"

After conflicts have ended, what does it take to recover the heartbeat of humanity? The exhibition, "How We Rebuild," draws from 12 years of work created by grant winners and finalists from The Aftermath Project, a non-profit organization committed to telling the other half of war stories, after the conflicts have ended –- what it takes for individuals to rebuild destroyed lives and homes, to restore civil societies and to address the lingering wounds of war while struggling to create new avenues for peace for 35 years.
