Arts of War: Hearts of War

The Arts of War project intends to express this artistic philosophy about the pluralistic nature of war through a university-wide art exhibition and Tuscaloosa-based community art outreach. Community members who take the Tuscaloosa trollies were asked the question: “What wars are you fighting?” and found artistic outlets to talk about the wars which they contend.  The project encourages storytelling and reminds us that war is not just about battle tanks, nuclear missiles, and bullets going off in far-away countries, but that conflicts reside in the hearts and lives of people we know and love.
