Growing up in the Bordertown of Tijuana has made me question the way I inhabit limits as a woman in unclear territories. These types of spaces reflect a bit of who I am: they are indecisive, yet they disavow any attempt to be controlled by way of disorientation, making evidence appear in the form of symptoms. I think of the territory as a body that carries with it the traces of experiences and memories; where symptoms are subjective, and things speak to me through textures, sounds, or gestures that are not immediately legible. These observations reveal the way these spaces have been bounded, by producing subjectivities in bodies as materialities found in different corners and ditches of these zones.
