The Lowride Worldwide Podcast

Ricardo Cortez (@tijuanarickart) sits down to talk about his community art project: teaching youth color bar technology, lowrider history, and community building. His program was highly effective and successful. This episode shows how one person's passion for teaching and learning can have a positive impact by giving back and investing in our youth and our communities. 

Dionicio "Dino" Garcia is a member of Frisco's Finest Car Club, and a community college counselor. Eugene "Spanks" Hernandez is President of the Imperials Car Club, and he is a retired administrator from the Los Angeles Unified School District. They were kind enough to come through and talk to me about the "language" of lowriding, and building cultural fluency in the process. The goal??  - to breakdown existing stereotypes that exist within lowriding, and we explore different ways in which lowriding is communicated.
