Artistic Transnationalism: Music as a Unifying Force

At a time when the USA/MX border has been so highly politicized, it has never been more important to consider the beauty that arises from organic human connection. Gathering & migration are natural elements of human life, so why are such daunting obstacles set in place to divide us, effectively hindering these ancient traditions? Further, why are certain people allowed to pass freely through borders while others are systematically barred, and what kinds of cross-cultural collaboration are these policies restricting? Through the lens of an individual artist's experience, the viewer is prompted to appreciate notions of artistry & shared humanity while questioning larger structures of power.
