Urban Humanities: Tijuana, Mexico 2020
This seminar looks at borders (Tijuana as borderland; the borders or “borderizing” practices that separate and section off urban space and social reality in Mexico City) through the lens of social justice, activist practices, and public art.
The first part of the seminar concentrated on the urban and cultural realities of Tijuana as border city, culminating in a trip to Tijuana UHI’s time in Tijuana provided an extensive reflection on what it means to approach border realities and “borderized” urban spaces responsibly and ethically, resorting to humanistic critical inquiry as its method: the “why” is the constant companion and interlocutor of the “how.”
