Studio C-41: 1 Hour Photo Podcast

Documentary Photographer Patrick Wack travels to the Xinjiang Autonomous Region to document China's westward expansion into Central Asia. Upon learning the mass incarceration and human rights violations of the Uyghur people, Patrick returns to Xinjiang to photograph the second part of his book, "The Night is Thick," describing the region as an Orwellian dystopia.

Patrick Wack shares his experience traveling through the region, telling his stories in photographing people who are facing modern-day cultural genocide. Patrick takes these images and has put them together to create a body of work called 'Dust.'
