War documented through graffiti


Photographer Tim Hetherington documented graffiti that he found over three years of covering the civil war in Liberia. The sobering and sometimes shocking images reveal a society turned upside down by violence and destruction. Hetherington's images remind me of the roots of graffiti as a primal vehicle of expression for those who have no voice to communicate suffering, despair, rage, hope, and faith. Read more about his project and watch a short video about it here. (Thanks Bea for sharing this with me!)
