Life During Wartime: 2003-2007
Illustrations by Joshua Brown

(art exhibition)

The Graduate Center presents, in its Exhibition Hallway, more than 200 original works by historian and illustrator Joshua Brown from his Life during Wartime series. "I began Life during Wartime on the first day of the Iraq War as a sort of visual political blog," says Brown.  "In the beginning I intended to chronicle and comment on the impact of the war on the home front—and also to convey some critical views about the war, which at the time, were getting comparatively little public access."  The drawings were rendered quickly, scanned, and then immediately e-mailed and posted online.  "I never thought this project would still be running more than five years and 270 drawings later," says Brown, who is executive director of the American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning and adjunct professor of history.  The Exhibition Hallway is located on the first floor lobby of the Graduate Center.  Free, for information contact 212-817-7394.
