Инсталляция «Стена-балансир» (Teeter-Totter Wall) получила награду «Дизайн года» в конкурсе от лондонского Музея дизайна, передает издание Афиша, ссылаясь на Dezeen. Розовые качели от архитектурной студии Rael San Fratello были установлены в 2019 году на границе городов Эль-Пасо в США и Сьюдад-Хуарес в Мексике. По словам Rael San Fratello, цель состояла в том, чтобы показать, что «игра может быть актом сопротивления». Исполнительный директор Музея дизайна Тим Марлоу описал его как «изобретательное и острое напоминание о том, как люди могут преодолеть силы, которые стремятся нас разделить». Авторы проекта добавили, что стены уже не работают, ведь агрессивные протестующие проникли в здание Капитолия, а коронавирус продолжает распространяться.
