PROJECT PRESENTATION
CENTER’s 2026 Project Launch Grant Recipient, Marcus DeSieno presents his project, Geography of Disappearance: Migrant Deaths on the US/Mexico Border. The UN 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 impassible mountains with harsh climate conditions year-round. The US government strategically uses draconian policies here that follow a philosophy of “prevention through deterrence,” forcefully directing migrants into unforgiving terrain where they wander for days in the elements. Many of these migrants are sometimes never found as they die in the vast emptiness of the wilderness. The earth reclaims their bodies, and they disappear.

PROJECT PRESENTATION
