RaeAnne Swanson, Time in the Pink Pool Floatie, 2020. From the 2020 Breaking Barriers veterans photography workshop.
Me, Myself and Eye
Me, Myself and Eye is an online presentation of sixty-seven photographs created by twenty-three military veterans who participated in the Breaking Barriers 2020 photography workshop. The educational workshop, led by artist Selina Román and assisted by artist Christian Cortés, focused on memory and personal experiences that were expressed through a broad interpretation of self-portraiture.
Artists include: Michael Ball, TC Bryant, Larry Busby, David Canaday, Michael Congdon, Brandie Dziegiel, Loretta Fields, Jeaniel Image, Douglas Eric Jordan, Valerie Larson, John Leduc, Jason Lind, Mikko Maki, Alex Martinez, Matias, Noemys McConnell, Megan O’Connell, Robert Ortega, Adaina Plaza, Pat Randall, Heather Rivera, RaeAnne Swanson, and Michael Webb.
Breaking Barriers is an initiative created and offered by USF Contemporary Art Museum to expand access to the arts for military personnel, veterans, and their families. Breaking Barriers offers veterans the opportunity to have a voice through art-making, and interface and integrate with both the local civilian and broader veteran community. This, in turn, can change the culture of the “silent veteran,” into a storyteller, a witness, and amplify veteran voices.
