Back in September, Babelito and Favy were in Austin, Texas and got to hang with their friends Xochi Solis and George Pasterk. From Chulita Vinyl Club to the Denver art Museum, and from Church of the Friendly Ghost to Mass art collective, these two have been making waves in the Austin art world for years now. George and Xochi discussed the violent gentrification of Austin and the role of art spaces in erasing and preserving the brown sanctuaries of the city. Also in this episode, they tell us all about the importance of Tejano culture, music and food and the role that identity has played in their artistic practice. #buildyourowncanon
