Bringing the War Back Home
My Flow article on the Iraq Veterans Against the War street theater performance, "Operation First Casualty," is now available. Worth noting: in the comments, Elliott, one of the editors of the meerkat video discusses the ways in which the street theater performances "make people aware that a vast gulf may exist between their understanding of their own public space and those of people in, say, Baghdad–where things have been completely reordered without consent." The video remains one of the more interesting forms of anti-war protest that I've seen in some time, and while the video itself cannot quite capture the immediacy of witnessing the performance live, I think it does depict the distinction between the public space of Times Square and Baghdad rather effectively.
