Title
Aftermath (collection)
Description

"The AFTERMATH Project uses discussion and creative, artistic approaches to story-telling and life stories to highlight the issues and needs of the participants drawn from the target groups. The AFTERMATH Project is not a campaigning or lobbying group on behalf of victims/survivors or displaced persons. It does not hold a view on the politics or morality of the conflict in and about Northern Ireland or in other countries. It is inclusive, and works with participants to highlight their issues and needs and to offer support and advice where possible." (from Aftermath website)
The Aftermath Project was carried out by Diversity Challenges in partership with The Integration Centre, the County Museum Dundalk, and the Rural Community Network. The project received funding from Co Louth Peace and Reconciliation Partnership for support under the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation 2007-2013.
The Aftermath Project recorded a number of video and audio interviews. It also compiled an exhibition which was shown in 2013 and 2014.
