Connect, Divide
For Independent
Type Editorial
Format 7.5 × 10 in
A concept exhibit catalog designed for Connect/Divide, a site-specific exhibition along the US-Mexico border. Featuring works by JR, Pia Camil, Ana Teresa, Post Commodity, Richard Lou, and Rael San Fratello, the catalog documents artists who engage the border as both territorial division and lived landscape — prompting viewers to reconsider questions of nationalism, identity, and belonging.
The catalog includes "Racialized Landscapes: Marking Territory Across North America" by Mary E. Mendoza, which extends the exhibition's inquiry into the political and racial histories inscribed in border geographies.
The visual language draws from documentary photographs of the US-Mexico borderlands, grounded in an earthy, land-toned palette. A single-column layout and end-to-beginning paragraph structure echo the exhibition's tension between territorial division and cultural continuity. The newsprint-like paper stock gives the catalog a material directness befitting the site-specific nature of the works.
