Happy 20th anniversary, NAFTA. This year, we ring in the new year with a reminder of the trade agreement that has rocked the lives of millions in the US, Mexico and Canada.
A group of artists commemorated this day with an installation at the San Diego-Tijuana border where the ugly bars of the border wall cut a path across the beach and extend 300 feet into the Pacific ocean.
NAFTA=DEATH
Twenty black flags fluttered against the backdrop of the border wall on January 1, 2014, a reminder of “the twenty years of deaths brought about by NAFTA.” The title of the installation–A Future Memorial for NAFTA– imagines the death of this agreement itself.
