Border art projects bloom in the shadow of Trump’s wall. If you squint hard enough, it’s not difficult to see Donald Trump’s campaign and presidency as a horrifying species of performance art, a virtuoso reality-TV spectacle with all-too-real consequences for the viewers at home.

It ends with the promise of peace: "Togetherness, humanity, this is what we all want, more and more exchange," a woman, either Indian or Pakistani, narrates as the music swells. Sounds great.
