Borderlands exhibit in US Senate on Anniversary of fall of Berlin Wall

For the past couple of years I have been working to document the impacts of the US border wall on wildlife and people. Dozens of endangered species live in this region, and many depend on the ability to move freely to find food, water and mates in this arid landscape. The people of the borderlands share a history that dates back hundreds and even thousands of years, and all are now facing divisions between their tight-knit and longstanding communities.

This project has included a 17-member expedition along the length of the 2000-mile border and a 30-piece exhibit of the photographs that were taken on that trip. The exhibit has
been traveling around the country and in early November will be shown in the Senate. The show coincides with the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. So come check out the exhibit--November 9-20 in the Russell Rotunda. I'll also be working with a network of people on a panel discussion Nov. 9 in the Senate Dirksen building room 11-G, and a reception Wednesday, November 18 in the Russell building room 325. All events are free and open to the public.
