(14 Oct 2015) A California-based artist is leading an effort to paint a part of the border fence that divides the US and Mexico to make it blend in with the landscape.
Ana Teresa Fernandez and a group of 30 artists and painters began their work on the border fence in Nogales, Sonora and Nogales, Arizona, on Tuesday.
Fernandez wants to make a political statement about the fence by painting it blue, making it appear as one with the sky.
Risking arrest, Fernandez did a similar project in 2012 on the Tijuana, Mexico, beach.
This time, she has permission from Mexican authorities to paint the fence from the Sonora side of the border.
Organisers say they are unsure how US authorities will respond to people using ladders to climb the border fence to paint it.
