World Press Photo nomination: Interactive of the Year 2019 |
Notes from Aleppo, nominated for Interactive of the Year in World Press Photo’s Digital Storytelling Contest, follows photographer Issa Touma’s rediscovery of his home city. Forced to leave in 2012, Issa travelled back and forth to Syria until East Aleppo was retaken by the regime in December 2016. Notes from Aleppo shows the people who are returning and those who never left. In a sincere, insightful way, Issa reveals the struggles of Aleppo’s citizens in their attempt to restore normality in their day-to-day lives and recover from the destruction of war.
Paradox has been working with Syrian photographer Issa Touma to shed light on the events in Syria from an inside perspective for more than four years now. Notes from Aleppo is the first production that puts the experience through the mobile phone central, while making the web based content available on desktop PCs as well. As a result episodes from these projects can easily be shared with international online media.
