The Border Bookmobile is a research platform and mobile exhibition of books, artist projects, photographs and ephemera about the urban history of the Windsor-Detroit region and other border cities around the world. The collection is housed in a 1993 Chrysler Voyager minivan that travels throughout the region. During Dare-Dare's residency at the Imagination Station in Detroit, we set up for two days between the houses and Roosevelt Park, the space in front of Michigan Central Station, one of Detroit's iconic ruins. This location is also close to a train tunnel that runs between Canada and the US as well as the contested site for transborder infrastructure affiliated with the privately owned Ambassador Bridge. During our time at the Imagination Station we interviewed local residents about their impressions of Windsor (across the bridge) as well as any perceived changes at the border.
