Laying on the Line: Media Coverage of #StopLine3

Art is central to the Indigenous-lead actions against the construction of the tar sands pipeline Line 3 in Minnesota and Ojibwe territory. Using large-scale puppets, costumes, traditional clothing and performance, Water Protectors fight to represent the human and non-human lives threatened by the pipeline. Their consistent documentation, live-streaming, press-releases, and social media campaigning around these art dominant actions spread awareness of the violence imposed by Line3 while celebrating the sacredness of the Minnesota, Ojibwe, and Aanishinabe lands.
