From Tijuana to Gaza to Bosnia: Rethinking Borders in a 21st Century World

Krzysztof Czyźewski, Dorit Cypis, Marcos Ramírez Erre, Josh Kun, Rubén Martínez, Ofelia Zepeda

Panel presentation

November 8, 2011

Artists, scholars, and cultural activists from Europe, Mexico, and the United States convene in Los Angeles-home to migrants, refugees, and exiles from all over the world-to share their respective experiences with and approaches to border issues. In an age of increased border militarization, how might we redefine borderlands as zones of mutual intermingling, co-existence, and dialogue? Made possible by special funding from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, part of the 2011 Milosz Year.
