Drawing on photographs from over fifty photographers\, these personal and often poetic post-war views unveil not only another side to the devastating effects of war\, but also tell the stories of people coming together to rebuild and heal. Aftermath: War is Only Half the Story illumines and defines our humanity while giving visibility to those coping with the lingering ramifications of conflict. \nThe exhibition is a ten-year retrospective of the work of the groundbreaking documentary photography program The Aftermath Project. Founded to help change the way the media covers conflict – and to educate the public about the true cost of war and the real price of peace – The Aftermath Project has discovered some of the most groundbreaking photojournalists in the world – as well as internationally acclaimed photographers Stanley Greene\, Nina Berman\, Davide Monteleone\, Justyna Mielnikiewicz\, and Jim Goldberg\, among many others – working on post-conflict themes. \nThe end of war does not mean peace. It is simply the end of war\, the end of death and destruction. Every story of war includes a chapter that almost always goes untold – the story of the aftermath\, which day by day becomes the prologue of the future.  Sara Terry (Founder of The Aftermath Project) \nAftermath: War Is Only Half the Story originated by The Aftermath Project\, Los Angeles\, and toured by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions\, Pasadena\, California. \nAFTERMATH OPENING PARTY  \nFRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 8 \n6 – 8 PM \nFREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC \nCelebrate the opening of this new exhibition in the Krasl Art Center galleries and meet Aftermath: War is Only Half the Story curator\, Sara Terry. \nThe Collective of Benton Harbor will walk guests through a calming breath and yoga sequence throughout the evening\, and be able to answer questions on how breath control can aid in your personal journey with conflict. \nSmall bites from Bistro on the Boulevard and a cash bar available. \nPANEL DISCUSSION HOSTED BY AFTERMATH CURATOR\, SARA TERRY \nSATURDAY\, FEBRUARY 9 \n10 AM – 12 PM \nFREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC \nSave the date!  Join Aftermath: War is Only Half the Story curator\, Sara Terry\, who will lead an engaging panel discussion with community members on the themes covered in this exhibition.
