CPH IVAW- Afghan IVAW Solidarity, NATO March - Suellen Semekoski
Poem by Saba Maher
The hurling words, calligrams as an homage to WWI veteran and Surrealist poet Appolinaire and to Jacob George, reflect the motion of thrown medals and exploding bombs. The words are from Saba Maher’s poem read at the concluding rally of the March for Justice and Reconciliation led by Afghans for Peace, Afghanistan Veterans Against the War, and Iraq Veterans Against the War. After her poem was read veterans of the Global War on Terror knelt in silence then hurled their Global War on Terrorism Medals toward the NATO Summit.
Suellen Semekoski is an artist, art therapist, educator, non-violence facilitator, and IVAW civilian ally, living and working in Chicago.
