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

In this episode, los batos de LWL catch up over some fake ass sushi and discuss the need for art spaces to include latinx artists for being talented and not just to perform their identity. Also, Favy spent a whole month in TX and, as always, he gathered all kids of beatuiful brown media content creators from the area. He talked to the people from De Colores Radio, Yvonne Marquez from Auto Straddle, and interviewed Fried Papita and Myte Panda from Cabronas y Chingnonas. In this last interview, Favy gets intimate with these badass ladies, discussed the content of their show, and the importance of creating visibility for the queer and latinx community. #chookth

From his "Undocumented and Awkward" Youtube, series to his digital work in Culture Strike, Julio has been producing art that comments on the realities and ironies of being undocumented in the U.S. Julio also tells LWL why he titles his lectures "I'm an artist of color and I'm still alive" and the need for POC cultural makers to claim their own greatness.
