Art has a way of conveying beauty to an audience. But it can also provide a creative way to tackle important and timely issues. We’ll look at how a handful of Native artists view borders through their work. The 2015 “Repellent Fence” project by the Native artist collective known as “Postcommodity” is a land art piece that stretched for two miles across the U.S.- Mexico border. It started conversations about how borders affect relationships between Indigenous people on both sides of the fence.
