Crying Girl on the Border

12 June, 2018, worldpress photo 

Honduran toddler Yanela Sanchez cries as she and her mother, Sandra Sanchez, are taken into custody by US border officials in McAllen, Texas, USA, on 12 June.

Immigrant families had rafted across the Rio Grande from Mexico and were then detained by US authorities. Sandra Sanchez said that she and her daughter had been traveling for a month through Central America and Mexico before reaching the US to seek asylum. The Trump Administration had announced a ‘zero tolerance’ policy at the border under which immigrants caught entering the US could be criminally prosecuted. As a result, many apprehended parents were separated from their children, often sent to different detention facilities. After this picture was published worldwide, US Customs and Border Protection confirmed that Yanela and her mother had not been among the thousands who had been separated by US officials. Nevertheless, public outcry over the controversial practice resulted in President Donald Trump reversing the policy on 20 June.

De Migrant, 2018, Zilveren camera

Een kleine zwarte vogel met gele pootjes, een onstuimig kuifje en een scherp keelgeluid; iedereen in Singapore kent de Javan Myna.

En velen haten hem. De Migrant is een fabelachtige multimedia vertelling over hoe de mensheid met dieren omgaat, de maakbaarheid van de stad en onze pogingen om de ideale maatschappij te vormen.
