Friday Happenings

Art

The Odysseus Project: Finding Home is a collection of artwork by and about veterans returning from war. The exhibition also includes an oral history and literary component; readings will take place in a couple of weeks. Tonight, check out the drawings, photographs, videos, and installations that attempt to distill the indescribable experiences of combat and violence, alienation and death. It's a chance for those of us who have only seen war from afar gain an inkling of its effects on those who waged it. Art @ 12, 12 Farnsworth ST., South Boston, 5 p.m., through June 27. Free. More information.

Sound Art
