The Road Through “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell:” A Veterans History Exhibit
September 6 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
In September, Dare Arts Courtroom Gallery will feature photography by Theresa Scott. The Road Through “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell:” A Veterans History Project is a documentary series that encapsulates the struggles of serving in the military before “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) was repealed.
Drawing on Scott’s skills as a photographer and Marine who served under DADT, she invited service members to collaborate on amplifying their voices. Through transcribed interviews and photography, Scott supports participants in unpacking their struggles under policies like DADT and the unique path toward healing. In this exhibit, Scott offers insight into the lives of LGBTQIA+ service members that served before and after the repel of DADT, and she reveals the impact of such discriminatory policies on families and communities today.
This exhibit will be on display in the Courtroom Gallery from September 6-28, 2024.
