Today I have the honor of speaking to El Tecolote’s Chilean-American photojournalist, Pablo Unzueta

Pablo and I talk about the work that he has been focused on the last few months ecpecially his biweekly photo newsletter called Ojos.

He also explains to us the meaning behind the word, Ojos, and the inspiration to put this series together. Then we talk in depth about his love for photojournalism and cameras.

It's the end of another year and we have another recap episode for you. Rebeca Flores and Alexis Terrazas join the show to talk to us about all that was in news and culture.

In this episode, we speak with three women, all from the Bay Area, and all who will participate in the upcoming Vigil for Gaza, which will take place in Balmy Alley on Nov. 2nd, during Dia de los Muertos in San Francisco’s Mission District.

In the first segment of this episode, we speak with Lucia Ippolito, who put out an open call to the community to build altares for victims of Gaza. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Yenia Jimenez, a mother, poet, community advocate, and author, who will be building an altar in Balmy Alley, alongside her son, who is half Latino, and Half Palestinian. And our final guest for this episode will be Seham Steyteyieh, aka Susu, a 20 year old full time student at USF and a community organizer who helped coordinate a student walkout on Oct. 25.

On this episode we talk to Pablo Unzueta. Pablo, a photographer and writer here at El Tecolote, recently visited Chile and experienced the 50th anniversary of El Golpe, the military coup that nation suffered in 1973.

We talked about what happened in ’73, how Chile is today, and his own Chileno roots

On this episode we discuss transphobia and why we need to call it out when it happens in our Latinx community.

Check out the comics exhibition by Acción Latina R.A.I.C.E.S. Art Fellow Yano Rivera on Saturday, October 14th at Paseo Artístico - The '90s Matter in the Mission, a special artistic activation of El Tecolote's archive and free art stroll that celebrates community history in San Francisco's Calle 24 Latino Cultural District. 

In this next episode, we speak with Gabriela Dematteis, Lou Dematteis, about her father, and her work as a filmmaker.

With El Tecolote celebrating another year around the sun we wanted to share with you another Radio Teco rewind as we go back to our conversation from last year with El Tecolote founder Juan Gonzalez.

Over the last few years, we’ve seen many in our communities be the targets of xenophobic and racists scapegoating. These attacks have been known to come from right-wing politicians, desperate to capitalize on the fears of their less-informed constituents. But what happens when these attacks come from with the so-called progressive safe haven of San Francisco?

With the Women’s World Cup under way, we’re doing something special for this next episode. We are revisiting last year’s interview with Bay Area Filipino soccer star, Sarina Bolden, as well as an amazing conversation with her parents Sherry and Robert.
