Inspired By - Facing - Recovering

facing – recovering explores the complex issues injured soldiers face in their transition from military to civilian life. Through drawing, video and words a number of soldiers and veterans share their personal stories and experience of injury and post-traumatic stress disorder in what one veteran described as closure in ‘graphical evidence’. This significant exhibition marks a time when UK troops have recently left Afghanistan and we re-address the impact on the lives of those affected whilst in service. firstsite facing-recovering is a firstsite touring exhibition, developed in partnership with Chavasse VC House, Colchester Garrison. Artist Jevan Watkins Jones collaborated with injured soldiers about their experiences in and outside of conflict. The programme was managed by Laura Davison and curated by Kaavous Clayton.
