Super excited that one of “War Rugs From America” is to be included in this years NYC Design Week with @jonald.dudd !! 🤗🤗

“American War Rug XVIII (Phoenix Program)”
2022, 61” x 33”, tufted rug using acrylic and wool yarn

Rug references the CIA’s Phoenix Program which tortured and assassinated Vietnamese civilians suspected of being VietCong Infrastructure during the Vietnam War. The torture techniques developed in this program were then used extensively in the War on Terror (even though their efficacy for gaining accurate intelligence was proven ineffective) and later written into the curriculum of the US’s School of the Americas, a military training program that would graduate a large number of military officials who would go on to commit crimes against humanity during Operation Condor and the “Dirty Wars” in South America in the 1970’s.
