New boundaries emerge every moment: miles of barbed wire, concrete security walls, naval detention centers, biometric passport databases, and checkpoints at schools, airports, and roadsides. We live in delineated zones dictating our possibilities, pasts, and paths. In this program, testimonies on settler-colonialism, identity, and migration take us behind, inside, and beyond borders.
Many immigrants spend their evenings fishing on an undisclosed pier in New York City. In What the Pier Gave Us, a Mexican fisherman’s ordinary day becomes a metaphor for the brutal beauty of the immigration experience in the US.
