During the past decade, millions of Latin American migrants have left their homes and risked death on the perilous journey to the United States in search of a chance to live the ‘American Dream.’ Once here, many of these migrants face economic exploitation, live under the increasing specter of criminality and confront a right-wing political movement dedicated to their removal from American society.

'Homeland Insecurities' is a series of images - taken across the United States from 2001 till 2008 - which examine security as a form of state sponsored performance art, merging ideology, propaganda and entertainment. "I am interested in how we, as a culture, visualize and fantasize war and the role of the burgeoning homeland security state in the creation and dissemination of these fantasies", says Nina.

Chicagos South Side has experienced major changes in the past five years, including a multi-million dollar rehabilitation of the Lakefront. Unfortunately, as the city is repackaged the poorest residents are being squeezed out of the city and forced to move to new communities and are not reaping the benefits of gentrification and urban transformation.

The civil war in Sierra Leone (1991-2001) was labeled “the cruelest in Africa’s recent history." It was characterized by destruction – of property, but more so of human lives and values. Tens of thousands of civilians died, hundreds of thousands were raped, burnt, tortured, enslaved, mutilated.

The conflict that erupted in the three states of Darfur in western Sudan has many dimensions to it: regional, national and international. It began in early 2003 between two armed rebel groups (the “Sudan Liberation Army” and the “Justice and Equality Movement”) and the Government of Sudan after attacks of the rebel groups on civilians, towns and Sudanese government facilities.

What does the massacre of an entire population look like? How do you explain to traumatized Sudanese women queuing with their undernourished children in a Darfur refugee camp that there is a difference between “acts of genocide” and actual genocide?

In our imagery, Africa is a theater of catastrophes without remedy - poverty, epidemics, genocides, ethnic wars, dictators, greed. If considered at all by the international media, reports from the continent are generally buried within the shadows of news accounts.

During the civil war in Sierra Leone many had their eyes poked out by rebels. Eighty-five children live and learn in Milton Margai School for the Blind in Freetown. They learn English, Braille, typewriting, and to play music. Many are now old enough to leave school, face the outside world and seek new lives for themselves. Some have already found jobs – no small feat, even for a sighted person, in Sierra Leone.
