Creative Forces: Healing through Writing and the Arts

Inspired by our current exhibition, The Great War & Southampton, the Southampton History Museum is honored to host a panel discussion on the role of writing and the arts as healing practices for soldiers in the past and present.

Our panelists include: 

John Melillo: East End visual artist and disabled Vietnam Veteran who uses painting as a solace and healing mechanism.

T.R. Hendricks: Author, former US Army Captain/military intelligence officer, and Iraq Veteran who uses writing as a solace and healing mechanism.
