Pedacito de la Tierra

The official February, 2021 launch of Pedacito de la Tierra (A Little Piece of Home) hosted by Burners Without Borders and Alight, kicked-off a global movement to create sustainable spaces of hope and refuge for people on a journey of migration, beginning at the U.S./Mexico border. Our friends from Casa de la Misericordia in Nogales, Mexico warmly welcomed hundreds of community members around the world to join their virtual table for a decentralized meal and conversation about shelter and the practice of what it ought to look like. The gathering convened design, musical and culinary creatives - unbound by borders - to guide a meaningful conversation about belonging and the importance of cultivating “pedacitos de la tierra” wherever we may be.
