IVAW Timeline

John Carr

This image is from Celebrate People’s History/Iraq Veterans Against the War: Ten Years of Fighting for Peace and Justice, a portfolio that celebrated IVAW’s first ten years and was produced by Justseeds, IVAW, Booklyn, Repetitive Press, and the Civilian Soldier Alliance.

(IVAW is now known as About Face: Veterans Against the War)

John Carr is an art director, graphic designer, and curator living and working in Los Angeles with a passion for culture, technology, and social interactivity. He worked with IVAW on a web series called Voice of Art that documented IVAW’s creative actions at the NATO Summit in Chicago in 2012.

 

In the background there is a large white silhouette of the symbol of the Fallen Soldier, or Battlefield Cross, which is a vertical rifle stuck into the ground with a helmet hung on top. Overlain in front are years ranging from 2004 to 2014. In very small type under each year are milestones and historical markers, not listed here. Below, text states: “Today IVAW continues the fight for peace and justice. Study and celebrate IVAW history.”
