2010
These photographs were made in 2010 by youth in North San Antonio, Texas, all of whom were newcomer refugees from countries such as Somalia, Burundi, Rwanda, and Burma. In collaboration with teacher and community organizer Kerry Haupert, Borderland Collective worked with nearly 80 young people over the course of a summer break and subsequent school year to explore ideas of self, family, and culture as a displaced young person.
