For the last 10 years, photographer Greg Constantine has been documenting what he calls “the hidden spaces, immense human toll, and profit-driven architecture of the United States immigration detention system.” His latest work, “An American Gulag,” profiles communities where immigration enforcement has not garnered the kind of media attention it has in cities like Portland, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Chicago.
Instead, he traveled to Oklahoma, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Missouri to explore the impact on people and communities around four themes: people, power, politics and profit. Constantine joins us to share more about the exhibit that opened this week at the PLACE Galeria in Northwest Portland. It’s the first public display of this collection of photographs and will remain up through Jan. 29, 2027.
