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.

Tanya Aguiñiga was born in 1978 in San Diego, California, and raised in Tijuana, Mexico. An artist and craftsperson, Aguiñiga works with traditional craft materials like natural fibers and collaborates with other artists and activists to create sculptures, installations, performances, and community-based art projects. Drawing on her upbringing as a binational citizen, who crossed the border daily from Tijuana to San Diego for school, Aguiñiga’s work speaks of the artist’s experience of her divided identity and aspires to tell the larger and often invisible stories of the transnational community. She founded AMBOS (Art Made Between Opposite Sides), an ongoing series of projects that provides a platform for binational artists. She was recently awarded the Latinx Art Forum: Latinx Artist Fellowship (2022), Heinz Award (2021), and an Americans for the Arts Johnson Fellowship for Artists Transforming Communities (2018). Her work is in the collection of the Hammer Museum, LACMA, Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt and Renwick Museums, and the Museum of Art and Design among others. Tanya Aguiñiga on Facebook / Instagram
