Sound of the sound art Installation An afternoon at the Refugee Migrant Camp in Tijuana

This sound installation recreates an afternoon inside the migrant refugee camp in Tijuana, where more than 500 South American refugee migrants have founded a small city a few meters from the border with the United States, waiting daily for the border to open for them.

The sound installation consists of three (or more) small camping tents; inside each, there is a small light and a speaker that reproduces the recordings I have compiled for more than a year from the refugee camp.

In them, you can hear the sound of children playing, the sale of food, and migrants receiving American clothes and toys, creating a polyphony of sounds full of hope, sadness, and reality.

Recorded in El Chaparral migrant camp; Centro de Integración de Migrantes Carmen Serdán; San Ysidro border gate.

Recording and mixing by Alvaro Díaz- Rodríguez.
