Urban Mining proposes a “scrap landscape” in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico that reflects the steel-scrap economy at the US–Mexico border: the waste produced, its potential reuse, the politics of its categorization, and the environmental and health impacts it imposes on local communities.
The project also calls attention to the displacement of people at the border due to financial instability and the ongoing war on drugs — Ciudad Juárez has appeared on lists of the most dangerous cities in the world multiple times.
