And now the present is different. A new projects comes to my life… on September 11,
2001 the borders of United States start a new change… and that change becomes my
next obsession: about what is happening in the border between the Republic of México
and the United Sates of America…
A WORLD SEPARATED BY BORDERS… 2009-2014
UN MUNDO SEPARADO POR FRONTERAS
Another why in my daily life… every time that I was coming in to Tucson to shop, to visit
my friends, to see photo exhibits, to take workshops in photography, to have fun with
many of my friends I noticed that the border starts making a lot of changes…
And my next journey begins in my mind… and between 2009 and 2010 a new project
began; THE DIVERSITY OF IMMIGRATION. There are 44 different languages spoken in
Tucson that are from many countries of the world and this people lives in this
microcosmos... the city of Tucson…
At the same time in 2010, new SB1070 law began a new difficult situation for our
relations between United States and México… the border crossing of the migrants...
And the project continues. I find more situations and more difficulties experienced by
the migrants…
And difficulties not only for migrants… also for the desert… the human repatriation,
history of families, dreamers, new migratory reform and the ecological impact that these
difficulties bring to our borders…
That is why I divide my time between my hometown Hermosillo and Tucson.
I am a third generation migrant from United States to México… that is another reason
why I am here…
Since I was a child I’ve come to Arizona with my parents and family going back and forth
to see friends and to shop.
For me coming to United States is normal.
I do not think of borders in my world.
But when I realized that is not the norm, I become involved.
Por ahora el presente es diferente, un nuevo proyecto llega a mi vida artística. El 11 de
septiembre del 2001 llega un nuevo cambio a las fronteras de Estados Unidos y ese
cambio empieza a ser parte de mi siguiente obsesión acerca de lo que esta pasando en
la frontera entre La República Mexicana y Los Estados Unidos de América.
A WORLD SEPARATED BY BORDERS… 2009-2014
Otro porque en mi vida diaria… cada vez que vengo a Tucson de compras, de visita con
mis amigos, asistir a exposiciones de fotografías, tomar talleres en fotografía, o a
divertirme con muchos de mis amigos, me doy cuenta de que la frontera comienza a
darse múltiples cambios.
Y mi siguiente viaje empieza en mi mente. Entre los años 2009 y 2010, un nuevo
proyecto empieza… LA DIVERSIDAD DE MIGRANTES. En Tucson hay 44 diferentes
lenguas de distintos países del mundo, para quienes lo hablan, Tucson es ya un
microcosmos.
Simultáneamente, en el 2010 una nueva Ley llamada SB1070 da inicio a una serie de
dificultades entre las relaciones bilaterales de Los Estados Unidos y México… el cruse de
migrantes en la frontera…
Y el proyecto continúa. Y sigo encontrando más experiencias y situaciones difíciles para
los migrantes…
Y dificultades no solo para los migrantes… riesgos en el desierto… en el proceso de su
repatriación humana, el pasado y presente de la historia de las familias, los jóvenes
soñadores, la nueva reforma migratoria y el impacto ecológico que estas situaciones
difíciles traen a nuestras fronteras.
Es por esto que tengo que dividir mi tiempo entre mi casa de Hermosillo y Tucson.
Soy tercera generación de un migrante de Estados Unidos a México… está es otra razón
porque estoy aquí…
Desde que soy pequeña he venido a Arizona con mis padres y la familia siempre en un ir
y venir para ver a mis amigos y hacer compras…
Para mi venir a Estados Unidos es normal.
En mi mundo no existen las fronteras.
‘Pero cuando me di cuenta que esto no es normal, decidí involucrarme’.

Alejandra Platt Torres's academic foundation in the arts began in 1992 with a scholarship
at The Maine Photographic Workshops, where she studied black and white photography
with Tillman Crane. She has won three grants in Mexico: "A World Separated by Borders,"
in 2011 from the Jumex Foundation; "In the Name of God: Photographs of the
Indigenous Tribes in Mexico," in 1999 from CONACULTA, which resulted in a book; and
"Hijos del Sol," from FECAS in 1993. She also received a grant from the Arizona
Humanities Council for "The Diversity of Immigration." With 31 solo exhibitions and
conferences, among the most important is her current exhibit at the Arizona State
Museum sponsored by the Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry: "A World Separated by
Borders" closes on Oct. 19. She also has had exhibits in Australia, Denmark, Norway, and
the United States. Alejandra's work is part of the book "160 Años de Fotografía en
México" published in 2005. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events
that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks
video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small
group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently
organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx
program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
