borderclick
BorderClick is a digital living archive exploring the complexities of the transfronterizo experience. Founded by artists Josemar Gonzalez Lizarraga and Rebecca Goldschmidt, in collaboration with The AjA Project, it ran a series of workshops through 2016 and 2017 with transfronterizo individuals living between Tijuana and San Diego, commuting constantly between both nations.
BorderClick gives lyrical visual representation to transfronterizo life through photography, 360 video, and social media. Capturing the feelings, memories, and experiences of living between two nations, it challenges the common stereotypes of "border-crossers."

Throughout this process of self-exploration, participants have found that despite the isolating effects of the physical border wall, the difficulty of crossing it daily, and its violence upon their minds and bodies, they have managed to find and connect with one another and help visualize an otherwise invisible community. They have learned to collaborate, to engage others in dialogue around border issues, and to keep supporting each other and advocating for their communities in the pursuit of self-improvement, social justice, and civic engagement.
