About the Project:
In Iraq, a lack of truth, recognition, and action in relation to an estimated 250,000 – 1 million
missing persons is a key driver of extremism and violence. The historical and contemporary
experience of enforced disappearance in Iraq upholds structural impediments to social
cohesion, impediments that directly stymie demands for lasting peace within the country.
This project aims to bring awareness through story-telling of the disappeared in Iraq from
different communities and through creative, journalistic, and artistic output.
