LIFE AFTER WAR EXHIBITION SERIES
Kaslow’s work provides vivid material for Life After War, a series of traveling photojournalism exhibitions. Human images paired with contextual storyboards engage communities in conversation about the fallout from conflict. The focus is on the most critical challenges populations confront as they try to rebuild their lives: deeply scarring trauma, gang control, sexual violence, human trafficking.
Kaslow’s latest exhibition Life After War: Disturbed was installed at Vassar College, at the Old Bookstore Store Gallery (pictured above). It is part of a major Mellon Foundation Consortium on Forced Migration, Displacement and Mental Health. Columbia University published the entire exhibition online.
In 2020, Kaslow opens Life After War: Trapped with a lens on the supply side of human trafficking, featuring turbulent countries where the trade in human beings is integral to the local economy. Twelve portraits of resilience in an industry of abuse tell the stories of local communities developing their own coping mechanisms, some as organized responses.
The Life After War Series has traveled extensively. Among the hosts: The Center for Conflict Resolution, the George Bush School at Texas A&M, the US Library of Congress, the Palmer Gallery at Vassar College. IATI’s Black Box Theater in New York’s East Village, Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Business, the Old Bookstore at Vassar College, and Columbia University’s EuropeNow platform.
