Afterbursts was inspired by an image of a Chinese man and an American WW2 GI lighting their cigarettes tip to tip. In the mid 2010s, governments were resurrecting wartime grievances to fit modern day geopolitical narratives. Allegiances had shifted unrecognisably since the war's end. How did the people who fought the war feel about the use of their wartime suffering to promote division?
