War Stories

These Women Are Brave, (2000-2001) is an educational resource on Biafra.

Description
This project merges oral history and digital technology to tell the personal stories of Igbo women during the Nigerian Civil War, also known as Biafran War. I choose that perspective because women's experiences and voices have long been omitted from history. Yet, the people who played a key crucial role in maintaining the cohesiveness of families are women. This project is one of a kind because it relies primarily on women's memories and personal experiences, and uses the Internet to give immediacy to this 37 years story. It does this by using the women's audio interviews, streaming video, photography, and reflections.
