Aevum’s Christopher Capozziello is a finalist for the 2012 Aftermath Grant. The Aftermath Project is a non-profit organization committed to telling the other half of the story of conflict — the story of what it takes for individuals to learn to live again, to rebuild destroyed lives and homes, to restore civil societies, to address the lingering wounds of war while struggling to create new avenues for peace. The Aftermath Project holds a yearly grant competition open to working photographers worldwide covering the aftermath of conflict.

Capozziello submitted his work on the KKK, a story that he recently returned to photographing, after a hiatus due to unsafe circumstances a few years ago.

This year’s winner of the $20,000 grant is Andrew Lichtenstein for his work “American Memory,” a series of landscape photographs at historical sites of conflict around the United States. The other three finalist along with Capozziello are Michelle Frankfurter, whose “Destino” documents the effect Central American civil wars in the 1980s had on emigration to the United States; Simon Thorpe, whose “Toy Soldiers” is a creative documentation of Sahrawi soldiers who fought for their land in the Western Sahara; and Michael Zumstein, whose “Bon Amis” addresses Ivory Coast’s reconciliation following the contested 2010 election and resulting crisis. Congratulations to Andrew and all the finalists.
