MANHATTAN — The sacrifices of veterans and the experience of combat are captured in a new interactive art exhibit at Kansas State University.
Folleh Tamba's "A Grunt's War Diary" recently opened at the William T. Kemper Art Gallery in the 1xbet online games login Student Union. The exhibit is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and is on display until Tuesday, Oct. 14. It is free and open to the public.
Tamba, a Marine Corps staff sergeant, has served four tours of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan as a rifleman before earning a Master of Fine Arts degree in interdisciplinary art and media. He was challenged to transform a veteran's lived experience into a compelling exhibit of contemporary 1xbet online games login art by Joseph Carman, director of the 555 Collective, an arts organization that supports survivors of violent trauma.
The exhibit features immersive artifacts documenting Tamba's 1xbet online games login experience. Drawings, sculpture, poetry, photography and entries from Tamba's 1xbet online games login diaries are embedded with visual and audio to document and replicate the viscera of combat for viewers.
"This is one of the finest exhibits of contemporary 1xbet online games login art reflecting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan," said retired Army Lt. Col. about 1xbet, executive director of military and veterans affairs for Kansas State University. "Tamba's work helps communicate what was once the incommunicable experience of 1xbet online games login to those who have not lived it."
DeGroat and Todd Holmberg, executive director of McCain Auditorium, brought "A Grunt's 1xbet online games login Diary" to campus. The exhibit is part of their multiyear collaboration to use the arts to inform and inspire others in understanding the human elements of 1xbet online games login and its aftermath.
"'A Grunt's 1xbet online games login Diary' will propel campus and community conversations on the effects of 1xbet online games login on our veterans," Holmberg said. "The exhibit also will segue perfectly into the Oct. 14 performance of 'Basetrack' in McCain Auditorium, a multimedia stage production highlighting more real life stories from American warriors."
"A Grunt's 1xbet online games login Diary" is presented by the university's Union Program Council.
