Behind the Lens: A Conversation with Greg Constantine

Photographer Greg Constantine joined me to discuss what it means to make immigrant detention visible while respecting the humanity of those impacted by this expansive global system of detainment.

Dr. Greg Constantine is an acclaimed photographer, researcher, and visual storyteller whose wide-ranging work over the past twenty years has focused on statelessness, migrant detention, human migration, and much more.

Our conversation centers on his photographic essays on migrant detention, published as a serialized project titled Seven Doors. This audio post serves as a companion piece to my longer essay on how Seven Doors helps us understand the connections (and disconnections) between systems and people through a visual perspective. You can read that essay at the link below. (If you are reading this in your email, you may have to visit the full article online to see the link due to a delay in publishing both posts.)

This first audio post was made possible by paid subscribers who share my belief that, now more than ever, we need informed, compassionate, and creative conversations about global migration. If you haven’t subscribed, please do—and if you believe in this work, consider becoming a paid subscriber.
