ART: MONTARlaBestia (Riding the Beast)

Abstract: 

The artist collective Artistas Contra la Discriminación explores the meaning of "riding the beast" and migrating to the United States.

The train known as “La Bestia” has carried as many as half a million Central American migrants a year on a dangerous journey across Mexico towards the United States. Through art and poetry, the Colectivo de Artistas Contra la Discriminación explores the meaning of “riding the beast.”
