Nadiah Rivera Fellah's 'Picturing The Border' examines the intricate realities of the US-Mexico border through the lens of 17 artists since the 1960s. The exhibit, highlighted by aerial photography and various artistic expressions, investigates themes of colonization, identity, and cultural duality. It addresses the stark contrast between the border as a destination and a departure point, emphasizing the human aspect of migration. Fellah, a curator shaped by her own experiences, showcases an archive that reveals the depth of the narratives surrounding life on the borderlands.
The boundary possesses a metaphorical, imaginative and psychic power that conditions regional life and culture.
Picturing the Border shows Mixteco farmworkers as they travel from Oaxaca to California.
These images offer a rich archive of the borderlands as seen through the eyes of some of its most incisive artists.
Fellah is attuned to the shifting histories and realities of the frontier.
