The G2 Gallery Presents Borderlands Photo Exhibition Revealing Environmental Impact of the US-Mexico Border Wall
Expedition by International League of Conservation Photographers Fellows Showcased in this Traveling Exhibition Appearing at The G2 Gallery January 5-February 7, 2010
Venice, CA—On Tuesday, January 5, 2010, The G2 Gallery will present Borderlands, a group photo exhibition organized by the International League of Conservation Photographers that records the environmental impact of the border wall erected. Participating photographers include Jack Dykinga, Wendy Shattil, Christina Mittermeier, and Ian Shive among others.
The images that comprise the Borderlands exhibit are the result of a three and a half week R.A.V.E. (Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition) instigated by the ILCP. The Borderlands R.A.V.E. took place in the first months of 2009 along a 2,000 mile stretch of land around the border between the United States and Mexico. The photographs produced by the Borderlands R.A.V.E. featured at The G2 Gallery document the environmental impact that the border fence has had on the land and the inhabitants of the region, in particular the land and the wildlife that inhabit it.

About the International League of Conservation Photographers & R.A.V.E.
The International League of Conservation Photographers (ILCP) is a consortium of professional photographers, known as Fellows, who have demonstrated the highest skills in photography, outstanding ethical standards in the capture, manipulation and captioning of images, and a sustained commitment to conservation. The ILCP’s mission is to further environmental and cultural conservation through photography.
A Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition, or R.A.V.E., is one of the primary initiatives utilized by the ILCP. Conceived to address the challenges of modern conservation, R.A.V.E. aims to achieve a full visual and media assessment in a short period of time by means of a multi-disciplinary team that includes several specialized ILCP photographers (landscape, wildlife, macro, camera trapping, portraiture), writers and cameramen. Their job is to bring back a comprehensive portrait of a conservation issue or threat in a very short period of time.
The ILCP is helmed by president and photographer Cristina Mittermeier, and includes among its fellows such photographic luminaries as Frans Lanting, Thomas D. Mangelsen, Robert Glenn Ketchum, and Michele Westmorland.
