I shared about my art and this piece I wrote for SO! When I put up the image of “Nacho Libre” and “Speedy Gonzalez” and asked the students what is the connection between them, emphatically each class session responded “They’re Mexican!” There it is. This work is important because young kids believe these characters to be Mexican because in some way they also sound and look Mexican. This work is going to develop and be presented at the European Sound Studies Conference in Berlin this October. I welcome your insight and feedback on this work.

Who knows… might be different for everyone. Sensory attention overload!
