RU Sirius interviews Guillermo Gomez Peña
Chicano cyberpunk performer Guillermo Gomez Peña discusses America's fears about immigration and his visionary work in a great RU Sirius Show this week. And David Duncan, co-host of NPR's Biotech Nation, is on NeoFiles.LinkGuillermo Gomez Peña: One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is how many audience members are willing to take off their clothes when you create the right conditions. And I'm not talking about youth. I'm talking about doctors, lawyers, dentists, nurses… "normal people." Given the right condition, they're pretty much willing to cross any border you present to them. And this is the subtext of the show. The subtext is… borders are not prohibition lines. A border is an invitation to cross.
