Clouds at the border
Article written in the context of The Place Where Clouds Are Formed, a collaborative documentary art project that combines photography by Gareth Smit, poetry by Ofelia Zepeda and writing and research by me.
Since 2018 we propose exhibitions and public programming to facilitate dialogue and reflection about the ways in which the U.S./Mexico border has divided the ancestral lands of the Tohono O’odham. What emerges is a project that disrupts “crisis” narratives of the border and replaces myths of the nation-state with more accurate narratives about the past and the lived experiences of borderland communities
