Olga Kravets, Oksana Yushko and Maria Morina met when they participated in the spring 2008 workshop. A few months later, they developed a project which documents life in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. The photographers were attracted to Grozny, Ms. Kravets said, because it survived two wars and is so ethnically and religiously divided that it feels like many different cities simultaneously.
