Route

Border-Ball route:

Border-Ball is a 40-day pilgrimage (October 29 – December 7, 2019) along the U.S. – Mexico border, a movie, and an art installation by Joel Tauber.

Tauber begins his pilgrimage at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry in San Diego, California, and walks along the Border Wall before heading north two and a half miles to the Otay Mesa Detention Center. He travels there and back again each day—a seven mile journey that connects legal entry to the U.S. with the Border Wall and the Detention Center holding those who might be in the country without all legal permits.

Many people participated in Border-Ball by walking with Joel Tauber, playing catch with him, and by sharing stories about the border, the Port of Entry, the Wall, and the Detention Center.
