San Diego Unseen: An Urban Portrait

Through two full days of programming, Political Equator III will take attendees from an art gallery in San Ysidro to an informal settlement in a canyon in Tijuana.
At one point, the mobile conference will even ask attendees to walk through a culvert in Smuggler's Gulch and cross from San Diego into Tijuana—for that portion of the event, you have to RSVP as soon as possible—all for the purpose of engaging participants in the "pressing regional socio-economic, urban and environmental conditions across the San Diego–Tijuana border."
In this week's podcast, I talk with Oscar Romo, the Watershed Coordinator for the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve and founder of Tijuana-based nonprofit Alter Terra, to tell us more about Political Equator III, which is happening in San Diego and Tijuana Friday and Saturday, June 3-4.
Press play to learn more.
This week's music sampling is from Nortec Presents: Hiperboreal's new album, Border Revolver.
