DESCRIPTION:‘On 28 October 2015\, a migrant boat left the coast of Weste
 rn Turkey heading to the closest European coast—the Greek island of Lesv
 os. The sea was rough\, and the boat was old and overcrowded with more tha
 n 300 passengers. It sank 280m beyond the maritime border into Greece\, in
  EU territorial waters\, resulting in the death of at least 43 people. It 
 was the deadliest incident in a period known as the ‘long summer of migr
 ation’\, when over a million refugees and migrants attempted to reach EU
  shores by sea […] One of the survivors\, the artist Amel Alzakout recor
 ded the journey and the shipwreck on a waterproof camera attached to her w
 rist. This footage provides a unique situated perspective of this tragic e
 vent at the threshold of Europe.’\n\nSee Borders\, colonialism\, and mig
