This page is a tag, a stitch, a link, a could be hashtag-if 140 characters weren't so short. It is a space to connect content that resonates, discourse that makes visible the world as it is and challenges the world to transform into what it could be. All of the Border Imperialism tags are frames which build upon Harsha Walia's book Undoing Border Imperialism. These tags are breaks in fences where theory and cultural production merge to create meaning.

She describes border imperialism as multipart process, one of those parts being the criminalization of migrancy, and the construction of a discourse around (il)legality or alienness of migrant bodies. This discourse creates fractures, sub-division of categories-bodies as objects, violent semantics about who can transgress the state, and who cannot. This categories of epistemic violence center around a discourse which creates an "elite" class of migrants whose ability to move is directly linked to their motility based on capital and socially conditioned acceptability of their bodies as objects within a global apartheid system.

Audio recordings, video, and poetics connected to this tag are the narratives of experiential knowledges and counter hegemonic cultural productions that challenge, critique and mock the systemic fictions that parade as fact.
