Jessica Fuentes, William Sarradet, and Nicholas Frank discuss their recent visit to the Rio Grande Valley, including stops in Laredo, San Ygnacio, McAllen, Harlingen, and Brownsville.
“One of the things that often marks our time in the Valley — and similar regions — is that the communities there are so tightly knit and welcoming. Every time we go to the Panhandle, to East Texas, to West Texas, to the Valley, we are met with these really beautiful, intimate moments where people are open and willing to share.”

Brandon Zech and Jessica Fuentes talk about artistic legacies, including Damien Hirst's posthumous paintings, artists who have launched work into space, and artist foundations.
“A lot of artists consider what happens with their body of work — with this momentum they’ve created during their lifetime — after their death. But, historically, people haven’t thought about the continuation of art making after their death. They’ve thought about how their artwork gets cared for in their absence, not how can they continue to have artwork.”
This week's podcast is sponsored in part by The National Juneteenth Museum's upcoming inaugural Juneteenth Festival, Freedom Vibes. The event features a conversation with Ambassador Andrew Young, performances by Orchestra Noir, The O'Jays, and the Whispers, and a block party on Saturday, June 21. Festivities for the Fort Worth event are from June 19 to June 22, and the "Declarations of Freedom" visual art exhibition opens on June 12 and runs through July 19.
