Friday, August 5th, 2016 -- 8:04 AM
-In June of 2014, Marissa Roth visited The Highground Vietnam Veterans Memorial Park in Neillsville, Wisconsin, for the opening of her exhibition about women who survived war, One Person Crying: Women and War, which was shown for three months.While she was there, the topic of personal Vietnam veteran’s photographs came up while talking with June Berg Learning Center Coordinator, who for the past couple years had been converting these images to a digital format for the veterans. This sparked an idea and inspired them to curate and create an exhibition of these personal photographs, contributed by numerous veterans. Marissa Roth, June Berg and The Highground Veterans Memorial Park in Neillsville have been working together on this one-of-a-kind exhibition that features never before seen photographs taken by Vietnam veterans while they were serving overseas.
The Highground hopes that the viewers will empathize with these veterans and will come away with a better understanding of the war through these personal photographs. The exhibition will debut at The Highground August ??" October 2016. After its debut showing, it will become a traveling exhibition.
