Hi everyone! In this episode, I talk about some reasons why you probably shouldn't go to the burning of the zozobra or Spanish fiesta in Santa Fe. Both of these events are tourist traps rooted in appropriation, colonialism, and exploitation. If you really want to feel immersed in Santa Fe culture, I would recommend reading: White Shell, Water Place and Pueblo Nations: 8 Centuries of Pueblo Indian History.  Here is a documentary about the Fiesta and zozobra in Santa Fe: https://vimeo.com/32977364/7b1fce9195 . These are just my opinions, so take it or leave it. Have any thoughts on the topic? Check out my Insta!
