The Aftermath Project is an outcome of photographer and writer Sara Terry’s five-year-long project, “Aftermath: Bosnia’s Long Road to Peace,” about the aftermath of the 1992-95 war in Bosnia and Hercegovina. 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. Sara founded The Aftermath Project as a way to help photographers tell these crucial stories.
