This interactive presentation will showcase and offer a discussion of The Aftermath Project’s newest visual literacy lesson plan, Ukraine in Three Parts. The Aftermath Project’s director and photographer, Sara Terry and educator and lesson plan writer, Fran Sterling will walk participants through the lesson plan – featuring compelling photographs by two Aftermath Project grant winners and one finalist – and explain the importance of post-conflict storytelling in a media world that focuses primarily on conflict. The Aftermath Project is a grant-making non-profit that supports photographers covering the aftermath of war, and builds conversations aimed at educating the public about the true cost of war and the real price of peace.

Sara Terry
Director and Founder, The Aftermath Project
Sara Terry is a documentary photographer and filmmaker whose work focuses on how we define our humanity – and the role of community in helping us make that definition. She is a Guggenheim Fellow in Photography, a member of VII Photo and a Sundance Documentary Fellow. Her early photography work, covering post-conflict Bosnia (“Aftermath: Bosnia’s Long Road to Peace”) led her to create The Aftermath Project, a grant-making photography non-profit based on the idea that “War is only half the story.” The Aftermath Project has been giving grants to photographers working in post-conflict settings around the world since 2007.
