Abstract

The Beast, The journey of Central American migrants on their way to the border of Mexico and the United States tells the story of undocumented migrants who travel in La Bestia, a freight train in which Central American migrants are assembled in Arriaga, Ixtepec or Ciudad Hidalgo in southern Mexico that will take you to nearby Mexicali, Nogales, Ciudad Juarez, Piedras Negras or Nuevo Laredo. Moored precariously from the roof of the train, this risky road of more than 3,000 km will determine that many of those who undertake the trip, never reach the border.

Key Words: Migration | Mural | Community art | Political violence | The beast
