How does artistry of and at the border change its impact on individuals?

So goes the chant of the fear-mongering politicians keen to use billions of dollars for a dangerous wall instead for, say, healthcare or schools. For a bit of (terrifying) fun, you can read “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/18/us/politics/trump-border-wall-immigration.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Trump’s Evolving Words on the Wall</a>,” an NYT compilation of Trump tweets, speeches, and interviews. It exposes a lot of ridiculousness but is also slightly traumatizing that a president could be so…uninformed (understatement and euphemism). And it’s also scary because the wall <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/the-border-wall-is-outliving-trump" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">is still being built</a>. It’s not only in the US. <a href="https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-africa-poland-forests-middle-east-443c8068ea7b5d1d8f6980da6e3879af" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Poland has built a wall between themselves and Belarus</a> in the past year and <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/greece-to-triple-length-of-border-fence-with-turkey/6633982.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Greece is tripling the length of its Turkish border wall</a>. “<a href="https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/rapid-proliferation-number-border-walls" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">The world is witnessing a rapid proliferation of border walls</a>”: <blockquote> [T]he post-Cold War evolution towards a global village was a delusion that lasted only a decade. The reterritorialization of the world and its delineations made a comeback, and in the years since borders have become gradually more demarcated as well as harder, reinforced, more fortified, and better armored. They have morphed into symbols of states’ entrenchment behind ramparts designed to address asymmetric, unconventional, and global threats, including unwanted flows. Once supposedly antiquated, walls have become gradually normalized solutions to geopolitical tensions and remedies to the instability generated by an unbalanced international system. </blockquote> <a href="https://medium.com/@tournerlesmots/how-does-artistry-of-and-at-the-border-change-its-impact-on-individuals-d7e41606c761">Learn More</a>
