E30: CCNY's Hostile Terrain 94 Global Art Installation: Undocumented Migration and US Policy with CCNY Prof. Matthew Reilly and Students Catie Hernandez and Eloisa Martinez Jimenez

This episode features Matthew Reilly, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at The City College of New York, and CCNY students Catie Hernandez and Eloisa Martinez Jimenez. Prof. Reilly and his students discuss the Hostile Terrain 94 initiative, a participatory global art installation that is part of the Undocumented Migration Project. The installation, located in the North Academic Center of CCNY (160 Convent Avenue, NY, NY), features a map of the US-Mexico border and the toe tags of more than 3,200 lost migrant lives, including those who remain unidentified. Prof. Reilly and the students engage such themes as forced migration stemming from a complex combination of climate change, neoliberal policy, and state fragility, and the process of humanizing mass loss of life resulting from 21st century survival migration and US policy.
