Afterlives delves into the historical traces of extremist propaganda and the efforts of those resisting its violent impact. The film explores how to confront the violence encoded in this media, reaching beyond its toxic effects to engage with power structures spanning from the colonial past to the digital age. Moving between virtual and physical environments, it introduces us to an artist, an activist and a researcher. Each of these individuals use the legacy of violent extremism to create new images and narratives that offer new possibilities for the future.
