A native of Ciudad Juarez Mexico Aguirre has a personal connection to the border or ‘frontera.’ and sees it as a modern day Ellis Island. It is a place where people from all over the world arrive on their way into the United States. It is a crossroads or ‘encrucijada.’ He states “I am excited to return to Santa Fe a city full of people that acknowledge that the borders of today mark land that was stolen from the indigenous people.”
