How We Rebuild

September 24 - December 20, 2024

After conflicts have ended, what does it take to recover the heartbeat of humanity? How We Rebuild, a penetrating and transformative photography exhibition, draws from twelve years of work created by grant winners and finalists from The Aftermath Project, a non-profit organization committed to telling the other half of war stories, after the conflicts have ended—what it takes for individuals to rebuild destroyed lives and homes, to restore civil societies, and to address the lingering wounds of war while struggling to create new avenues for peace.

The Aftermath Project

The Aftermath Project, founded in 2006, holds a yearly grant competition open to working photographers worldwide covering the aftermath of conflict. Additionally, through partnerships with universities, photography institutions, and non-profit organizations, the Project seeks to help broaden the public’s understanding of the true cost of war—and the real price of peace—through international traveling exhibitions and educational outreach in communities and schools.

The Aftermath Project is an outcome of photographer and writer Sara Terry’s five-yearlong project, "Aftermath: Bosnia’s Long Road to Peace," about the aftermath of the 1992– 95 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. She completed her work in 2005, convinced that a broader public understanding and discussion of aftermath issues was crucial in a world where the media regularly covers war, but rarely covers the stories that follow the aftermath of violence and destruction. Terry founded The Aftermath Project as a way to help photographers tell these crucial stories. For more information about The Aftermath Project, visit theaftermathproject.org
