This episode of Artbound, “Borderlands,” explores arts along the U.S.-Mexico border. We visit Mexicali Rose, an artist organization in Mexicali, where locals are encouraged to create art to galvanize community involvement. We explore drones as art, where multiple projects re-appropriating military drones play with the idea of surveillance and mobility. We view the photographs of Paul Turounet, who captures undocumented border-crossers and prints the images on galvanized metal. We dive into Tijuana’s vibrant reemergent gallery scene, and showcase Manuel Paul Lopez’s animated poem, “1984.” The episode wraps up with a musical performance by troubadour Rodrigo Amarante.
