March 15, 2021 marks a decade of conflict in Syria—a conflict that has killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of civilians and forced millions from their homes. Today, over 13 million people need urgent humanitarian assistance to survive.

This unique collective photo essay draws on the archives of 16 Syrian photographers. Their personally-selected photographs and hand-written captions are a window into Syrian lives over the past 10 years of conflict. They highlight the cost of the crisis, but also shine a light on the strength of Syria’s people and their hopes for a future without conflict.
