    Reception: Friday, February 26, 4:00-6:00 p.m. An exhibition of prints created from the collaboration of Combat Paper artists, MassArt students and alumni, and youth from the HOPE for Youth Development Program. Using their combat uniforms, veterans worked with youth and students to cut up, beat, and form their uniforms into sheets of paper, creating cathartic works of art. Through this collaboration much-needed conversations were generated regarding our responsibilities to the returned veteran and an increased understanding of the dehumanizing effects of warfare. In addition, adult and youth participants in this collaboration also discussed our responsibilities to the positive development of our youth and an increased awareness of the challenges urban youth experience growing up in a culture and society that at once offer numerous opportunities for, and barriers to, hope for the future.
