About
'Outside the Wire' is a multi-format humanities project that highlights the narratives and experiences of American veterans throughout the country’s history of conflict. Supported in part by an Action Grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, this project includes generative writing workshops for the veteran community in South Jersey and Philadelphia led by national nonprofit Warrior Writers; and an annual public program featuring conversations between recent veterans and writers/scholars/curators whose work intersects with issues of concern to veterans and service members. During the past two years, this project has also incorporated 'Letters Home', an physical exhibit exploring the significance and history of letters and other communications sent by service-people to their loved ones during global conflict.
