RETHINK: I Am A Veteran

“This project, which is designed and led by women artists, focuses on veterans who are women, sharing their first person experiences and delving into topics such as the challenges of toxic masculinity, abuse, military glass ceilings, family life, sexuality, camaraderie, and empowerment while serving their country with honor. RETHINK was sparked by two questions: who are women, and who are veterans? RETHINK: I Am a Veteran will provide possible answers to these questions and will do so through the words of the people who live those answers every day: local female veterans. Stories were collected in one-on-one interviews and a story circle, following a technique used by Community-Based Performance Artist Jan Cohen-Cruz. Selected stories were then transcribed and interpreted through an artistic lens by the performers building Rethink: I Am a Veteran. Maura García joins the cast as a guest choreographer and performer.”
