Taylor had to travel more than 690 miles by hiking and driving to reach all of the border monuments, which are owned jointly by both the American and Mexican governments.
“The project, on a personal level, has been the largest learning experience of my adult life,” Taylor said.
Marcela V. Ramos, the program manager for ARTS@DRCLAS, which works to foster a presence of Latin American art at Harvard, worked with Lamunière on the exhibit.
“It’s a combination of content and aesthetic,” Ramos said, making it an ideal work to use to engage with a broad audience, and hopefully more students.
In addition to an accompanying discussion on Thursday, professors will use the work in their teaching and there will be a dance performance related to the exhibit during Arts First weekend in May.
