Abstract

The border is everyone's, can be seen by everyone, and is travelled and crossed in multiple and dynamic ways. Northern Mexico's border cities have particular characteristics that distinguish them from others. Ciudad Juarez is one of the 100 most resilient cities, and along with its sister city of El Paso, Texas, is a space that claims the right to the city through "artivism" , a series of actions and manifestations of art and resistance. This paper maps and analyses these spatial appropriations in Ciudad Juarez as an essential dimension of the right to urban life and a symbolic territory for dialogue between urban residents.
