Reflections on representation | Against empire: Records of resistance

This is the third conversation of a four part series. Photographer and filmmaker Laura Saunders discusses her work on the US / Mexico Borderlands, by interrogating the multifaceted histories of migration; and the colonial violence of the border as a site that produces narratives of criminality. Laura is documenting the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, an expansive fracking project that began in 2015. She has rooted this work in looking at "community resistance from the edges of Appalachia, where environmental and economical extraction has become commonplace."
