Que está situado entre dos cosas, hechos, circunstancias
​



​Fierce Fronteriza seeks to inspire hope + consciousness + action to create a more just world by sharing the histories and stories of border people through essays, photographs, and interviews. Centering history from the periphery provides us different perspectives;  invisible connections and alliances become visible. Trauma and perseverance live side by side. These histories reveal the past, illuminate the present, and provide us a vision for the future.

Historia. Memoria. Esperanza.

Wrap them in soft red cloth
