xBorder emerged in 2000 in Melbourne, within the global noborder networks and in the organisation of Woomera2002, around both anti-detention/deportation movements and the anti-summit protests. It has since then been involved in projects, such as the boycott and divestment campaigns against the detention industry, including the successful boycott of the Sydney Biennale, HESTAdivest and is part of the Divest From Detention network.
