The Regime of Destruction: Separating Families and Caging Children

This photo essay and assembled materials begin in recognition that forced separation is not a new practice but one with a long and brutal history connected to colonization, slavery, internment, and imprisonment. This project contextualizes and connects these histories to the specific cruelty being enacted on children at present. It is an online and installation-ready interventionist art project that participates visually, textually, and sonically in the collective outcry against the forced separation of migrant and refugee children from their families at the US/Mexico border. It is a call to action.
