Como cualquier otra ciudad, Tijuana tiene su folklore y sus leyendas escalofriantes. Una de esas historias es la leyenda de La Faraona, la bailarina que ronda los terrenos de lo que solía ser el viejo Resort y Casino Agua Caliente, ahora la preparatoria Lázaro Cárdenas. Hablamos con Fernando Escobedo, historiador de Tijuana que ha investigado la vida de Esperanza López Padilla, la mujer detrás de la Faraona. También escuchamos a Ursula Mansur, una actriz de Tijuana que ha dedicado gran parte de su trayectoria profesional a interpretar a La Faraona. No te quieres perder este episodio donde desmitificamos esta leyenda tan emblemática de la ciudad de Tijuana. Agradecimiento especial al Prof. José de Jesús Barajas, propietario del bungalow 21 y curador del museo de La Faraona.

We left our last episode wondering about the costs of building a house with earth or clay materials. Turns out it's cheap! So if it's cheap? Have more people jumped on the opportunity to build this way and why hasn't it taken hold in urban settings? To answer these questions, We follow up with Miguel Angel Perez an earthbuilder from Baja, and talk about the costs of earthbuilding and chat with Rachel Formanek, a New Yorker who moved from California to Baja to find better and affordable living conditions. Lastly, we sit down with Alex Ruiz, director of urban planning in Tecate, and ask for his take on the viability of earth building in city settings.

Helen Mayer Harrison and Newton Harrison, known as ‘the Harrisons’, dedicated five decades to exploring and demonstrating a new form of artistic practice, centered on “…doing no work that does not attend to the wellbeing of the web of life.” Their collaborative practice pioneered a way of drawing together art and ecology. They closely observed, often with irony and humor, how human intervention disrupts the dynamics of life as a web of interrelationships. The authors ‘think with’ the Harrisons, critically tracing their poetics as a re-imaging and reconfiguring of the arts in response to the unfolding planetary crisis. They draw parallels between the artists’ poetics and rethinking in the philosophy of science, particularly drawing on the philosopher of science, Isabelle Stengers. Thinking with the Harrisons is for anyone concerned with the implications of ecological thought and practice as a reimagining of public life, including the interaction of art and science. Throughout their joint practice, the Harrisons sought to engage policy makers, governments, ecologists, artists, and the natural world, sensitizing us to the crises that emerge from grounded experiences of place and time.
