To fragment, to uproot lives, to cross livelihoods, to respond to everything else before responding to the responsibility towards a people’s sovereignty, and to interrupt the ancestral movement of life across land—this is the legacy of border regimes.
pensamientos en la frontera is a project that comes as a new generation of Nicaraguan youth are forced into immigration. As they begin to explore and respond to their forced uprooting they look back to the experiences of past generations. The project follows histories of displacement—creating a bridge to connect culture-specific ways forced movement is carried in language, image, and sense of home across cultures. The hope is to foster kinship and inclusive celebration of differences amongst each other, beyond la frontera.
pensamientos en la frontera is an ongoing project compiled by andi and collaboratively riso printed and published with the support of Moniker Press. It consists of a continuously growing folder of publications and prints that feature many perspectives on displacement and borders.
