The Parker Edison Project podcast is back for Season 2. This time around we explore culture in our city and how it plays out in our everyday lives; like how nature affects our mental health, and how freeways can also divide communities. We uncover the forgotten history of San Diego, and the events that helped shape the city. We also learn something new about this city we love so much. And back by popular demand- “Movies Millennials Should Movie” and “Six Degrees of Separawayans”. This is the Parker Edison Project, a sonic exploration of culture as a lifestyle, where each episode starts with a thought-provoking talk and ends with a musical bang. Outro music: "Step Down" by the Sure Fire Soul Ensemble Show Credits: Parker Edison (Host), Kurt Kohnen (Co-creator) and Chris Reyes (Head Editor)

Alongside the history and folklore of piñatas, Diana will share her own hybrid methods of using this craft for expression and storytelling. Diana Benavidez is a Binational artist from the San Diego/Tijuana border region. Her art practice explores piñata-making as a method of expression and storytelling. Diana builds piñatas that reflect upon her experiences growing up as a woman in a border town. Her work is characterized as introducing materials not commonly found in traditional piñatas such as media, gadgets, and technology. Diana received a BA in Visual Arts from UC San Diego and her art has been exhibited in Mexico, Canada, and the US. Currently, three of Benavidez's piñatas are on display at PIÑATAS: THE HIGH ART OF CELEBRATION group exhibition at Craft in America Center in Los Angeles.
