Veteran Advocates is the companion project to the Afghan interpreter project, We Are Here, both completed with Prof Sara de Jong. These Afghanistan military veterans amplified the voices of Afghan interpreters through media engagement, political lobbying, and legal challenges. They also provided direct support, including during the evacuation efforts in August 2021. The veterans are portrayed as looking at themselves in the mirror, by combining portraits with their inverted double images; they were only able to face themselves when stepping out of anonymity and supporting their former Afghan colleagues. It is for this reason, that the veterans spoke up and put their heads above the parapet, that these portraits have not been given the same anonymising treatment as those in We Are Here.
