Summary

This very special episode of LWL is a live recording featuring artist & curator Roberto Jackson Harrington, artist Alexandra Robinson, University of Texas' scholar Carra Martinez, and artist & educator Erin Gentry. In this dynamic panel for Fusebox, an Austin Texas performing arts festival, FavyFav, Babelito and their guests discuss their experiences as Latinx people passing as, but (some) not identifying as, white. From their upbringing, to the different forms of code-switching, the themes in this panel are necessary conversations aimed to address privileges and responsibilities within the Latinx community of Texas and the country. The colorism is real, y'all! #austinTX #supportlatinxpodcasts #lwlpod
