Buried Tales
Tales that the media failed to reveal about the Syrian Crisis

About

Since the media were only concerned with communicating the political novelties of the Syrian crisis and rarely informations that highlight the life of the people, the life of the victims. This project is about the dissemination of the Syrian crisis' effect. The project is a storytelling of the life of Syrians during and after the war. This project is a storytelling based on the testimonies of the Syrians that were interviewed. Each quote was graphically illustrated by an artist, by a person who has never experienced war, pushing them to put themselves in their shoes and experience this war in their own way. Making of this project a double perception and interpretation of war.

Acknowledgment

This work would not have been possible without the survivors that agreed to re-live their traumatic experiences during the interviews. For privacy reasons, the identities of the survivors are kept anonymous. Yet, we are thankful for the efforts that these survivors have put to tell their stories, and to be heard.
