The volume of people affected by the war casts a shadow over individual identity. The details fall away and the memories fade.

Encounters set out to illuminate the detail and bring their words to life.

Words that show the diversity of life impacted by the war. All corners, all sides.

Stories are told with accuracy, authenticity and respect to their source.

Designed in a space that brings the stories out of the darkness, and captivates with light. A space that feels like a library of memories, that opens its pages when you step in.

Each encounter is an insight into a life impacted by the war. The horror, the honour, the despair, the hope.
