“Immigration represents a major human rights battle of our time, with deportations surpassing a record-breaking 1,000,000 and Congress failing to enact any type of legislation that would provide relief to the estimated 12 million undocumented. In 2010, 250 anti-immigrant laws and resolutions modeled on Arizona’s SB1070 were passed, while 2011 yielded devastating state laws in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Utah.” – Favianna Rodriguez, CultureStrike

Whereas the public square was once the quintessential place to air grievances, display solidarity, express difference, celebrate similarity, remember, mourn, and reinforce shared values of right and wrong, it is no longer the only anchor for interactions in the public realm. That geography has been relocated to a novel terrain, one that encourages exploration of mobile location based public art.
