It's been an amazing couple of years on @shadowsnrpf.bsky.social alongside a wonderful team of colleagues and co-researchers, partner orgs and some really inspiring participants. I am proud to have been part of this project highlighting the harsh effects of #NRPF and hostile environment policies

In 2018 I had the pleasure of working with a group of young people on a photography exhibition about the past, present and future of their community in Chiapas. Some ideas that this collaboration sparked have found their way into my most recent publication #Akateko doi.org/10.1080/0066...
