Migration, Art, and Politics Lecture: Can Art Reduce Border Violence? A Discussion with Raúl Paz Pastrana and Jason de León To stem the immigration tide, Mexico and the U.S. collaborate to crack down on migrants, forcing them into ever more dangerous territory and resulting in an innumerable amount of pain and suffering. Through the film Border South and the participatory art installations Hostile Terrain 94, Raúl Paz Pastrana and Jason De León offer publics across the Americas new ways to think and feel about the tragic consequences of US and Mexican border policies. Join us for a virtual discussion and find out on how you can get involved. Raúl O. Paz Pastrana is a Mexican immigrant filmmaker, cinematographer, and multimedia creator. His work explores themes of “belonging” and “alienation” in immigrant communities. His films have screened at the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) in New York City, at the Sheffield Doc/Fest in the UK, and at DocsMX in Mexico City.
