SELECTED COLLABORATIONS

The work I am most proud of is the work created through deep collaboration with other people. Here are a few of those.

Even the River Starts Small

Even the River Starts Small is a collection of stories from the movement to stop construction of the Line 3 pipeline through northern Minnesota. It features anonymous writing, art, and photos spanning nearly a decade, and includes reflections on many of the diverse experiences that made up this grassroots resistance. There are 300 pages of writing and visual art in the collection published in full color.

In collaboration with an incredible team of organizers, writers, and artists who collaborated to bring this book to life, and the thousands of people that made up this movement.

Macalester Geography Department Logo
