The Biden administration’s expansion of the U.S.-Mexico border wall threatens to destroy hundreds of murals along the Tijuana side of the border.
Artists from places all over the world — including Brazil, Argentina, France and Japan — have helped turn the border wall along Friendship Park near the Pacific Ocean into a colorful canvas.
Most of the artwork captures differing takes on migration. Murals include portraits of undocumented migrants, messages to deported veterans, images of migratory birds … even an astronaut floating in space.“We won’t be able to get this wall back,” said Enrique Chiu, an artist who has been painting along the border since 2016.A Mexican worker stares at the American-built border wall from the Mexican beach community of Playas de Tijuana on Aug. 18, 2023.
This project, supervised by Customs and Border Protection , was first approved during the Trump administration. It includes replacing existing fencing and adding new walls along the beach.
