Project Brief
The New War Collection: Resistance/Permanence (2007-2009) is a documentary new media project. It is made up of two parts: a social networking research website that provides a place of empowerment for participants who have experienced military sexual trauma (MST); and a physical installation that facilitates an experiential space for these testimonies to exist and be heard through audience interaction. Both of these sites work together in carrying knowledge and experience to the audience, participants, and researcher. They act to engage the public in a call to action for ending the violence against women in the armed forces in America and around the world.
