The winter storm wreaking havoc across the US is also affecting El Paso, the Texas border town currently facing an influx of migrants who have yet to turn themselves into border agents or officials
Pedestrians entering the country through the Dennis DeConcini Port of Entry were greeted by a new piece of street art in August as they walked onto the first block of Terrace Avenue: Big, bold white letters reading âNogalesâ painted over a vividly colord background of thin horizontal lines on a brick wall. âBasically, we wanted the word âNogalesâ because itâs the port, so we wanted a type of welcome, like a postcard,â said Priscilla Nefftys, one of the artists behind the mural, part of a bigger project called âNogalerÃaâ or âNogallery,â which encompasses the cultural identity and history of Ambos Nogales. Nefftys, Gerardo Frias and Tony Plak launched the effort with a grant from the University of Arizona Confluence Center for Creative Inquiry.
