Notes
On April 21st, 2007, Lovella Calicia from Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) conducted a writing workshop at the Green Door Studio designed to help veterans deal with their experience of war through personal writing. Later that evening, several participants shared their words with each other at the opening of the "Re-making Sense" exhibit. A handmade book, Warrior Writers: Move, Shoot and Communicate, created in collaboration with The People's Republic of Paper, was also released and is available for sale to benefit the Warrior Writers project. A second book, Re-making Sense, based on the writing from the April 21st workshop, is expected soon and will be bound at the Green Door Studio using paper made by the Re-making Sense crew.

"Re-making Sense" is a glimpse into the struggles of being a weapon of war during the illegal and disgusting US occupation of Iraq. Being part of the force that will stop the war, members of the Iraq Veterans Against the War heal and thrive through their work. "Re-making Sense" is testimony that art and community are powerful and transforming.
