Seesaws on US-Mexico border wall allows children on both sides to play together -

Architect and anti-border wall campaigner Ronald Rael has installed three pink seesaws across the US-Mexico border that allows families to play with each other through the wall. Two California professors have seen their vision for a seesaw that allows children from the US and Mexico to play together become reality. Custom-built seesaws have been installed in Sunland Park, New Mexico, where a slatted border fence separates it from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.

Earlier this year I read an extract of architect Ronald Rael’s anti-border wall manifesto. Yesterday he & Virginia San Fratello (architect couple goals) realised an idea they had a decade ago – building a seesaw across the US-Mexico wall. The book is called Borderwall as Architecture. The seesaw is modelled in there, as well as essays + ideas on border walls in history & future; protests, solutions, concepts. On the right is Rael yesterday.
