In a dim, improvised workspace in Prague, students of the underground movement bend over sheets of paper and cardboard, turning ink and brushstrokes into defiance.

Around them lie rough boards, bricks, and scattered materials—evidence…

Dust and exhaust hang over a Phnom Penh street as open-backed vehicles roll forward, crowded with armed men and fluttering flags.

A boy clutches a scuffed football while others dart and grin, their clothes and hair unmistakably of the late 1970s, the whole scene caught with the quickness of a candid moment. The title…

A human skull dominates the foreground of this unsettling scene, half-buried in churned earth while small red flags punctuate the excavation trench like warnings. Nearby, a forensic specialist works close to the ground, surrounded by tools and notes, as other figures stand at the rim of the site under a wide, bright sky. The contrast…

Fire glows through shattered bands of glass as the “Momo” and “Uzeir” twin towers burn above downtown Sarajevo, their dark silhouettes cutting into a pale sky streaked with smoke. From a distance the scene looks almost unreal—two modern high-rises turned into chimneys—while the surrounding city blocks sit in uneasy stillness beneath them. The contrast between…
