This Binational Encuentro creates a space for migrants, artists, activists, organizers, community leaders, scholars, and the general public to participate in workshops, contribute to roundtable discussions, and view dynamic performances that address what it means to be a gendered border crosser. Through the lens of gender and sexuality, artists from Mexico City, Tucson, Phoenix, and Douglas will explore concepts of border, territory, and displacement. Workshops, roundtables, and performances will take place in both Tucson and Douglas, AZ.
