Combat Paper Project (http://www.combatpaper.org/) has, since 2007, conducted workshops, performances, and exhibitions throughout the United States and abroad. It works directly with survivors of conflict to create works of and on handmade paper directly from their clothing and uniforms using traditional hand papermaking techniques.
From September 21-23, Combat Paper Project will be facilitating a hands-on workshop at UC Berkeley in the traditional process and techniques of hand papermaking. We will use uniforms and rags from the US military and transform them into handmade paper which will also be printed on in an innovative technique called pulp printing. The workshops will run daily from 10 AM - 5 PM in 178 Wurster Hall and adjacent Courtyard on the UC Berkeley campus. These workshops are only open to survivors of armed conflict.
An exhibition of the artworks created at UC Berkeley will be on view in the Worth Ryder Art Gallery from October 26-November 5. There will be a public reception on Wednesday, October 26 from 4-7 pm.
Co-sponsored by UC Berkeley Department of Art Practice with the Open Circle Foundation and the Yelling Clinic.
