In the lead up to the launch of Change Lab Season 5 on September 25, we're releasing a series of "Encore" episodes. For this debut installment, we caught up with artist Jackie Amezquita before she embarked on a three-week journey from Southern California through Mexico, primarily on foot, all the way to her native Guatemala. Amezquita refers to this emotionally and physically arduous journey as a performance titled "De Norte a Sud." Over the course of her three-week trek, she'll be retracing the path she took as a young Guatemalan migrant to an unknown life in the United States of America, only this time in the opposite direction. Amezquita uses her interactions and conversations with people along the way to explore the myriad cultural, economic, and racial divides so entrenched in this part of the world.
This bonus episode interweaves two conversations with Amezquita, recorded more than a year apart, producing an illuminating and intimate portrait of the lived experience of an issue that's too often reduced to sensational headlines. We hope you enjoy this updated episode. Don't forget to tune in for a whole new season of conversations on creativity and transformation kicking off with Lorne's incisive interview with IBM design chief, Phil Gilbert.
