NAFTA = Death: Artists Mark NAFTA‘s 20th Anniversary With Border Protest

A group of artists marked the 20th anniversary of the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on New Year‘s Day with an art installation at the US-Mexico border that separates San Diego from Tijuana.

The installation, which involves 20 black flags – one for each year that NAFTA has been in effect – falls into a long tradition of actions and art pieces that protest US immigration and border policies.
