England. London. 2018. For years in my youth, I went to the Imperial War Museum in London, enamored with the aesthetics of past wars. As my time on the front lines started to wane, I looked again towards museums to fill some of the void. In 2018, I went back to the Imperial War Museum, and the violent fragments of my own wars were on exhibit. Warped beams from the Twin Towers. The outline of a predator drone looming overhead. Remnants of a car bomb that exploded in Baghdad on March 5, 2007, killing 38. Naeem al-Daraji witnessed the aftermath of the explosion: “Paper from the book market was floating through the air like leaflets dropped from a plane. Pieces of flesh and the remains of books were scattered everywhere.” The display, donated to the museum by artist Jeremy Deller, highlighted that at the start of the 20th century, only 10% of war casualties were civilians. Now, the figure is 90%.
