The Arizona Highways podcast features an interview with Ann Lane Hedlund, author of "Mac Schweitzer: A Southwest Maverick and Her Art." Born Mary Alice Cox in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1921, the artist grew up a tomboy who adored horses, cowboys, and art. After training at the Cleveland School of Art and marrying, she adopted her maiden initials (M. A. C.) as her artistic name and settled in Tucson in 1946. With a circle of influential friends that included anthropologists, designer-craftsmen, and Native American artists, she joined Tucson’s “Early Moderns,” receiving exhibits, commissions, and awards for her artwork.

Allison Caine writes in RESTLESS ECOLOGIES: "This is a book about the beginnings of fragmentation, specifically the first notes of agitation—of restlessness—as relations between people, animals, and landscapes began to strain and shift. When I arrived in the herding community of Chillca in southeastern Peru in 2015, the rumblings of a larger process of fragmentation were beginning to accelerate. Indeed, in the years after I left, the community would vote to divide their communal pasturelands in the face of increasing conflict over diminishing grasslands and restless animals."

From FLOWS OF VIOLENCE by Felipe Fernández:
Water pipes in Buenaventura are very leaky. They have holes, fissures, and cracks, caused mainly by accident—that is, by unstable topologies, by the weather, and by aging materials. There are many leakages, and they are extremely difficult to measure and repair . Some people access water through improvised, “illicit” connections, causing leaks unintentionally. Water pours out from the gap between the hose and the bore, generating losses. Indeed, leaks lead to “unknown and uncontrolled flows of water” in the city, making the aqueduct difficult to govern.
