The significance of the border as a physical, conceptual, spiritual terrain is most evoked by the work of artist Guillermo Gomez Pena and La Pocha Nostra performance troupe. (www.pochanostra.com)
A bite: 'La Pocha Nostra is by nature anti-essentialist and anti-nationalist. We claim an extremely unpopular position in post-9/11 U.S. "No homeland; no fear; no borders; no patriotism; no nation-state; no ideology; no censorship"....Our America is still an open society with porous borders; our America is neither "Red" nor "Blue;" it is brown, black, yellow, pink and transparent. Always.'
