Less than a year ago, Mosul emerged from the nearly 9-month battle to retake it from ISIS. Now, life is returning to many parts of the city. @ivorprickett documented some of the changes — like this newly opened amusement park on an island in the Tigris River. And this month, he attended a celebration for some of the first students to graduate from Mosul University — which was heavily damaged during the fighting — since the city’s liberation from ISIS. (Swipe to see it.) Each graduate was paraded through the party under a shower of exploding glitter and booming Iraqi pop music. Of course, the reminders of the war and what it had cost to defeat ISIS are still all around. Beside the newly rebuilt Old Bridge, he watched as a group of young scrap collectors took a break from work. (Swipe to see them.) “The image of them frolicking in the shallows, under the beautifully refurbished iron bridge, was in stark contrast to the lifeless piles of rubble on the western side of the river,” @ivorprickett writes. “Compounding the juxtaposition was the knowledge that so many people were killed on that very stretch of river as they tried to escape the Old City in the final assault last summer. But this is what Mosul is like, full of contradictions.”
