The Great Wall of Chinga

About Me

Simple: The US government wants to build a 700 mile fence along US/Mexico border. We oppose this idea. To express this opposition we chose to do it through ART. We call it The Great Wall of Chinga. A project to bring awareness and publicize the fact that racism does not solve your problems, no matter what they may be! It only makes it worse. Artists have the power to bring injustice to light in ways only limited by imagination.
Walls, fences, barbed wire, surveillance cameras, guns and plain bad attitude only create hostility.
This is a universal issue that concerns us all, so we urge ALL artists no matter where they are from to participate.
This is an ongoing project and we're just getting started. If you like to participate or have any questions just drop us a line.
