The VII Foundation commissioned a group of renowned reporters and photojournalists to revisit countries they had covered during times of conflict in 2018. Their task was to explore peace through the lens of their journalistic experiences, survey familiar towns and villages, reconnect with survivors and postwar society members, and capture the lived experience of peace. To enhance the reportage, the Foundation sought input from academics and peacemakers and invited citizens of the countries to share their personal narratives. The result is Imagine: Reflections on Peace, a collection of searing images and essays that showcase both micro and macro perspectives of peace, including its uneven degrees of economic success, political stability, and social harmony. World-renowned journalists and authors take readers into societies that have endured devastating conflict and emerged stronger. Photographic essays vividly depict the stakes during war and peace, while compelling backstories about negotiations, survival tales, and quests for inner peace bring the big picture into focus. Imagine provides a rare glimpse into the unvarnished story of peace, offering a window into what it takes for societies and individuals to move forward after unspeakable brutality.
