TanioNadine VtP: Visualization

I am uncertain whether this is a found photo or if it was created by the ethnographer. It is a documentary image and striking on many fronts. First, the image captures the large industrial complex in the background and reveals the strategic shrewdness of the protest organizers. It is a protest that occurs from boats on a river which underscores the protestor's point.  The river is not land. The main subject in this image is a older woman. It is unclear if the men behind her, or in the neighboring boat are also participants in the protest by choice, or if they are simply hired to ferry the protesters and are captured in the photograph by chance.
