Sara Terry is a documentary photographer and filmmaker whose work focuses on how we define our humanity – and the role of community in helping us make that definition. She is a Guggenheim Fellow in Photography, a Contributing Photographer to the VII Foundation and a Sundance Documentary Fellow. Her early photography work, covering post-conflict Bosnia (“Aftermath: Bosnia’s Long Road to Peace”) led her to create The Aftermath Project, a grant-making photography non-profit based on the idea that “War is only half the story.” The Aftermath Project has been giving grants to photographers working in post-conflict settings around the world since 2007.
1in6by2030 is a multi-year, global visual storytelling project, involving photographers around the world. Launched in 2023 by Ed Kashi, Ilvy Njiokiktjien and Sara Terry, all contributing photographers to the VII Foundation, 1in6by2030 documents an unprecedented era in the history of humankind: by the year 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be over the age of 60.
