Between 1982 and 2000, the Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso) waged a guerilla war in Peru, becoming one of the most brutal terrorist groups of the 20th century. The conflict began in the Ayacucho region, where many Andean people were victimized, killed and forced to defend themselves with homemade weapons.
Photographers Vera Lentz, Alejandro Balaguer and Oscar Medrano managed to capture the horrors of this unequal war and now, years later, they revisit the subjects and locales printed in their photos.
To See Again tells the unknown story of indigenous resistance that took place in Peru for nearly two decades, using the lens of art to reveal memories that question an official history that elides the indigenous contribution to the peace process.
