I thought my 'readers' may find this website www.theaftermathproject.org interesting. MAKES me THINK in relation to Gareth's conversation in the previous post about the relevance for photographers to tell stories of the consequences, aftereffects and repercussions of events and conflicts, as these provide new perspectives with a new stories. Often in Documentary photography images and stories are sensationalized and heightened by the present effects of the event, the current turmoil and the prevailing tragedies... but this website leaves me questioning (and it seems Gareth is too) and wondering what happens after tragedies and conflict, when the world no longer looks or cares and people have to pick up their lives and begin again...
THEIR MISSION The Aftermath Project is a non-profit organization committed to telling the other half of the story of conflict — the story of what it takes for individuals to learn to live again, to rebuild destroyed lives and homes, to restore civil societies, to address the lingering wounds of war while struggling to create new avenues for peace.
