Coolidge Corner Theatre

<p>Claire Beckett's series, Simulating Iraq, was created from 2006-2017 when she embedded herself on military bases within the United States, photographing the depiction of Arabs and Muslims within the context of counterinsurgency training for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Features of these training environments included costumed role-players, elaborate Hollywood inspired sets, and staged tableaus hinting at the imagined lives of far-away people.</p>
