The collaborators of the instagram account Everyday La Frontera document life and movement around international borders, with the hope that these images can help change the conversation around borders by showing the complexities of people in their daily lives. The project focuses on the line between Mexico and the United States, although it also documents the contrasts of different regions from South and North Americas. The project was created in 2015 and creates a much needed alternative discourse to how traditional media portrays the border. The following photographs document the spaces of the border regions in their complexity and diversity.

Comcáac New Year is celebrated every year on July 1, in the middle of the desert summer. The celebration is rooted in the ancestral legend, which tells that at the beginning of time, a male loggerhead swam to the bottom of the sea and extracted a piece of sand dust between his nails and released it to the sea surface, giving birth to the creation of the world.
