Este jueves 21 de marzo llega a la Fototeca de Zacatecas la exposición Más que un muro de David Bacon, una muestra de 29 fotografías tomadas durante 30 años que reflejan los cambios en el propio muro fronterizo entre México y Estado Unidos, así como los movimientos sociales en las comunidades, fábricas y campos fronterizos.
TIJUANA, BAJA CALIFORNIA NORTE, MEXICO - 29MAY16 - On the Mexican side of the border wall between Mexico and the U.S. families greet other family members on the U.S. side. This takes place every Sunday at the Parque de Amistad, or Friendship Park, in Playas de Tijuana, the neighborhood of Tijuana where the wall runs into the Pacific Ocean. Catelina Cespedes, Carlos Alcaide and Teodolo Torres greet Florita Galvez, who is on the other side. The family came from Santa Monica Cohetzala in Puebla to meet at the wall.

VICENTE GUERRERO, BAJA CALIFORNIA NORTE, MEXICO - 5JUNE15 - The delegacion, or police station, in the barrio of Nuevo San Juan Copala, in the town of Vicente Guerrero, was burned after police beat people and shot at them during a strike by farm workers. Two children, Laura Maria Santos Reyes and Jose Luis Ramirez Beltran, live in the barrio and remember when the police station burned, but to them it has become a place to play, in a community that has no parks or playgrounds for the children of farm workers.

Estas fotografías nos permiten ver la región fronteriza como su gente, con sus movimientos por los derechos y la igualdad.Combatiendo la histeria anti-inmigrante y anti-mexicana, busca una visión alternativa en la que la frontera sea una región donde la gente vive y trabaja en solidaridad.
No te pierdas la inauguración con el autor este jueves 21 de marzo a las 18:00 horas en la Fototeca de Zacatecas (Fernando Villalpando 406, Centro). La entrada es libre.
