Political postconflict: Documenting the aftermath of wars, revolutions, and political upheavals or capturing the reconstruction of societies, the challenges of peacebuilding, and the restoration of civil order. Social postconflict: Exploring the impact on communities and the efforts to rebuild social fabrics or highlighting stories of reconciliation, healing, and the re-establishment of trust among individuals and groups. Personal postconflict: Showcasing personal journeys of overcoming trauma, loss, and hardshipor depicting the resilience and strength of individuals in the face of adversity. Environmental postconflict: Addressing the recovery and restoration of ecosystems after natural disasters or human-induced damage or visualizing the efforts to heal the environment and the return of natural balance. Economic postconflict: Illustrating the revival of economies and livelihoods after financial crises or destructive events or examining the role of innovation, adaptation, and community support in economic recovery… and many more options.
