"The US-Mexico borderlands are home to an abundance of cultures and creative traditions, yet remain a region minimally funded by arts philanthropies in the United States," Elizabeth Alexander, president of the Mellon Foundation, said in a statement. "Our long-term support for the artists, culture-builders and stewards of creative expression among these communities will help amplify and sustain the profoundly varied arts and histories taking place in the borderlands."
"Of the 32 inaugural grant recipients, eight are based in Mexico. Grantees include a Chicano cultural centre and a Haitian immigration advocacy group in San Diego, Indigenous groups in Texas and Arizona, an arts festival in Tijuana, a community farm in New Mexico and an art gallery in Ciudad Juárez."
