The border, as defined by Gloria Anzaldúa, is conceptually marked by an ideological site called nepantla—a Nahuatl word that refers to a space existing in-between worlds. Nepantla is a performative site for visual art and writing. Making borderlands foods is an active space that exists in-between worlds. Using a performative approach to writing and image, I theorize nepantla through food, language, identity, and race. The process of nepantlando is a teaching practice of performative visual art and studio writing. Art and teaching are inseparable in nepantlando. As nepantla is a knowing and understanding of living in-between worlds, nepantlando is a creative doing of living in-between worlds
