After the Strike

This project investigates the direct, reverberating and compounding civilian harm effects of a 2015 Dutch airstrike on Hawija, Iraq. This was just one of over 34.000 airstrikes conducted by the US-led Coalition against ISIS across Syria and Iraq. ‘After the Strike’ examines not only the devastating physical, psychological and infrastructural toll of remote airstrikes in urban rebel-held areas but also the meanings civilians ascribe to the harm inflicted upon them. It underscores how unresolved grievances and unmet demands for acknowledgment, apology, and individual compensation may sow the seeds for future violence.
