Muros (In)visibles / (In)visible Walls is an itinerant film series that has traveled through, across, and over walls, borders and borderlands from Peru to Los Angeles. A selection of narrative and documentary shorts made by and featuring people living on and in spite of borders, this series has been screened at “the wall of shame” in Lima, Peru, at the Mexico-Guatemala border, and on the Tijuana-San Diego border. This series was curated by La Combi Arte Rodante, a Lima-based NGO committed to advocating for human rights and environmental justice through film screenings and filmmaking workshops that give people the tools to tell their own stories.
