Boundaries is a recent collaborative project between Obama Presidential Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco and contemporary landscape photographer Jacob Bond Hessler. Together, Blanco’s poems and Hessler’s photographs investigate the visible and invisible boundaries of race, gender, class, and ethnicity, among others. They challenge the physical, imagined, and psychological dividing lines—both historic and current—that shadow America and perpetuate an ‘us’ versus ‘them’ mindset by inciting irrational fears, hate, and prejudice.
