About the event
Qué Calor investigates environmental intersectionality that stems from heat related disasters revolving around the U.S.- Mexico border. The impact of rising temperatures is felt all over the world through catastrophic events such as heat waves, flooding, and droughts. However, the influence of a changing climate is experienced through the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico Border. On the border, heat, land, and water are used as a weapon to hurt immigrants and asylum seekers. These events are detrimental to human life and survival often becomes the overarching goal.
