The United States-Mexico national border is not only one of the longest ones in the world, but it also surely gets a lot of attention. Over the years, it has somewhat become a symbol of friction and division as well as coexistence and friendship. But the tension can be felt on both sides regarding foreign policies and diplomacy.
The nearly 2000-mile-long border between the two countries has attracted the attention of a few artists before, and this time, a set of pink seesaws received ‘Design of the Year’ curated by London Design Museum. The seesaws were installed in the steel border fence dividing Sunland Park, New Mexico, US and Ciudad Juarez in Mexico through the 20 ft steel fence, allowing kids in two different countries to actually play together at the same time.
