It was thrilling to talk with “Coach Pop” and Manu Ginobili of the Spurs for this feature. But the best insights into the team came from fans who feel these guys are like family. Sure, every city loves its sports, but their respect comes from a deeper place—one that might not be quite as profound if the Spurs and their whole organization weren’t such extraordinarily nice people. s s MaRk gReenBeRg A Touch of Glass, page 20.

I am not one for horror movies or wayward spirits, but I had heard about how much people love the Sisters Grimm Ghost Tour. What I got was an opportunity to be a tourist in my own city.

Nearly ten years ago, close to 6,000 San Antonians created a shared vision for the community. This vision, defined by eleven Community Results, outlined multiple goals to be reached by the year 2020. In order to guide this decade-long strategic vision into action, SA2020, an independent, nonprofit organization, was created in 2012. Today, San Antonio is the only large city in the country that has a shared community vision written by the people who call the city home, a separate nonprofit holding the community accountable to that vision (that’s SA2020!), and more than 160 multi-sector organizations aligning their work to move the needle on Community Results.

    RED DOT ARTIST INTERVIEW – ASHLEY PEREZ INTERVIEWED BY ÁNGELA GARCÍA ON JUNE 30, 2020 Ashley Perez Southcross, 2019 Oil on wood 38” x 47” x 2” Courtesy of the artist. AG: Can you tell me a little more about the artwork you submitted for Red Dot this year? AP: It’s entitled Southcross. [It] is an oil painting on wood. I made that last year. [Southcross] has a lot of meaning and has been a catalyst for the work that I’m doing right now. It’s part of what I’m referring to these days as the “Forgiveness Project” AG: Do you maintain relationships with your collectors? AP: Sometimes. It really depends, but it’s great to run into them in the art community, especially when you’re out at galleries. Some people who have collected my work follow me and see how I’m growing. [They] typically like things that were similar to the work that they had purchased originally and so they’re always interested to see how I’m growing. AG: What was an experience with art that changed your life? AP: Starting from a young age, I joined a youth after school art’s organization called SAY Sí. It was there that I realized the importance of art and it really made it real for me. The community and the people that I have met there continue to be a part of my life, and now I’m the visual arts director over there at SAY Sí. It’s one of the biggest parts of my life and definitely a pivotal series of moments that led me in the right direction.

    RED DOT INTERVIEW – KAT CADENA, ¡QUE DESPADRE! INTERVIEWED BY ÁNGELA GARCÍA ON JULY 14, 2020 Kat Cadena, ¡Que Despadre!, 2020, Acrylic and chalk pastel on Bristol, 24 x 19", Courtesy of the artist. AG: Can you tell me about the artwork that you submitted for Red Dot this year? KC: So, I titled it ¡Que Despadre! and in Spanish que desmadre [means] “what a mess” or “what a disaster.” I made this piece in February this year after the murder and brutal abuse of a 7-year-old girl in Mexico named Fatima. It incited riots in Mexico, and her mother came out in a video [giving] a really emotional speech [about] demanding justice for her daughter, all the others who have been abused, and the women that we don’t hear about in the news. She coined this term “que despadre,” masculinizing this word that usually is feminine to emphasize the blame on men who are inciting violence against women and committing femicide. That’s why I titled it that. I do this sometimes when I hear really bad news. I get really emotional because I feel like I'm a big empath, so I want to make something [that serves] as a visual representation for the victims, the victims’ families, the people who care, and especially women who are scared for themselves or their daughters or sisters. In [¡Que Despadre!] the woman is wounded, really scared, and has this gaping hole in her torso and stomach. That's how I felt hearing about this poor little girl and other women who are going missing or being killed.
