We want your stories of living in a borderland space.
A border is an uncomfortable place. It is unstable, full of pain and turmoil--but it can also be a shelter: a place of joy, love, and celebration. This splitting/joining of worlds necessarily creates resistance, reinvention, and innovation.
Send us your own critical story from the border/your borderland!
