Macindoe and Stellin are collaborating on a project called The UnAmericans about immigration detention and deportation. They were recently awarded the 2014 Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellowship, to continue the project.
The UnAmericans is a series of interviews and photographs documenting the stories of immigrants who have been ordered deported from the United States, as well as their family members – often, American citizens – who suffer the consequences of the harsh punishment of exile. These stories illustrate the wide range of people locked up while caught up in deportation proceedings: not just individuals who crossed the border illegally, but asylum seekers, legal permanent residents, and immigrants trapped in the bureaucracy of adjusting a visa.
