Over at GOOD there is a post about the Combat Paper Project. Check out: An Artistic Outlet for Veterans: The Combat Paper Project
The Combat Paper Project, hosts papermaking workshops that help veterans come to terms with their personal experiences in combat through art therapy.
“Through papermaking workshops veterans use their uniforms worn in combat to create cathartic works of art. By witnessing their uniforms’ transformation and reclaiming them as works of art, veterans work through their experiences head-on. The project also provides an alternative narrative of war and how to deal with it.”

Drew Cameron, the co-director of the project, explains on the website that “[r]eshaping that association of subordination, of warfare and service, into something collective and beautiful is our inspiration.”
