Video: Artists install seesaws on US-Mexico border in an attempt to protests against Donald Trump; Netizens applaud idea
In an attempt to show the protest against US President Donald Trump’s border wall, two professors from California found a unique way that is hitting headlines these days.
Artists named Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello have installed three pink seesaws across the US-Mexico border for which they are getting applaud from both sides.
The protest against Donald Trump erupted after US President planned to build a wall along a 2,000-mile boundary shared between the US and Mexico. With this unique idea, the two artists were trying to convey their message of togetherness between the two countries and also showing their rage against the idea of Trump.
Meanwhile, the idea of the two professors commended by netizens as the three pink seesaws are reconnecting the people across the two borders.
See Video:
Both artists Ronald and Virginia took the pictures and video to their respective Instagram accounts from Sunland Park, New Mexico.
Have a look at pictures shared by the two professors:
Virginia San Fratello captioned the post and wrote, "One of the most incredible experiences of my and @vasfsf’s career bringing to life the conceptual drawings of the Teetertotter Wall from 2009 in an event filled with joy, excitement, and togetherness at the borderwall."
"The wall became a literal fulcrum for US- Mexico relations and children and adults were connected in meaningful ways on both sides with the recognition that the actions that take place on one side have a direct consequence on the other side. Amazing thanks to everyone who made this event possible and everyone who showed up on both sides including the beautiful families from Colonia Anapra," he added.
Ronald Rael also shared a video and wrote, "the joy that was shared this day on both sides is something that will stay with me forever."
As per the reports, the two artists have been working on this project since 2009.
