Episode Synopsis

When UC Berkeley architect Ronald Rael took his bright pink teeter totters to the U.S.-Mexico border wall, he didn't know that what he and his team did next would go viral. He just wanted to create a moment where people on both sides of the wall felt connected to each other. “Women and children completely disempowered this wall for a moment, for 40 minutes," says Rael. "There was a kind of sanctuary hovering over this event."Read the story and see photos on UC Berkeley News: https://news.berkeley.edu/2019/10/08/teeter-totters-as-activism-ronald-rael/ Hosted on Acast.
