  • Anywhere and Nowhere

  • Leydi Walle was born in Mexico City and was raised all over the U.S. She received the Dean’s Scholarship 2017-2022 and was featured in VSCO Selects.

  • Anywhere and Nowhere is a series of videos that investigates my nomadic Mexican immigrant experience inorder to redefine myself. I demonstrate what this upbringing feels like, how I cope with the changes, and how those experiences/places shaped me as much as I shaped them. I express what happens when your culture isn’t fixed and you have no allegiance to anywhere, how freeing and lonely that life path can be, but also how I can heal and not let it limit me.

     

    These videos are five selected works from the second chapter Letters where I write a different type of letter to each of the seven places I have lived:

     

    Iowa for elementary school, Massachusetts for middle school, New York for college, moved back to Ohio during the pandemic for the 20-21 school year, and Mexico City where I was born and continue to visit at least once a year.
