SOMEONE ELSE’S

TREASURE

Allan Lissner

S

omeone Else’s Treasure is an ongoing multimedia project that brings to light some of the experiences of people around the world whose lives have been impacted by the global mining industry – including communities in the Philippines, Tanzania, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Chile, Canada, and Guatemala. This multimedia

piece focuses on communities in San Marcos, Guatemala, living next to the Canadian-owned Marlin Mine. In an effort to better understand the true cost of an industry that shapes the world around all of us, the focus of Someone Else’s Treasure is on the marginalized—the men, women, and children, that have been left out of the equations and are therefore forced to pay the price for someone else’s treasure.
