Frontline Arts' award-winning art project, Frontline Paper, returned to Columbia University for a two-day workshop, as part of a series of Crafting Commonality workshops that engages and connects communities through craft making experience. The workshop, that was held on Sunday, September 29 and Tuesday, October 1, taught veterans, friends, and family members how to make paper from military uniforms. In this participatory process, led by GS Senior Assistant Dean of Veteran Student Initiatives, David Keefe, both veterans and non-veterans shared stories, deconstructed military uniforms down to fibers, pressed handmade paper from the fibers, and told their stories via writing and printmaking on the newly formed paper.
