Artist Talk with Marcus DeSieno: Geography of Disappearance: Migrant Deaths on the US/Mexico Border

Project Launch Grant recipient Marcus DeSieno talks about his project Geography of Disappearance: Migrant Deaths on the US/Mexico Border. The United Nations has declared the border between the United States and Mexico to be the deadliest land crossing in the world and a humanitarian crisis. Thousands of men, women, and children have died crossing the over 1,900 mile border through brutal deserts and mountains with harsh climate conditions year-round. DeSieno photographs along the border and goes to the exact locations where the bodies of unknown migrants have been recovered using autopsy reports and data collected by humanitarian organizations as well as local and state police.
