About Cog•nate Collective: [They are] “a binational arts collective whose goal became to alter the passive engagement with the experience of crossing, to take advantage of the opportunity inhabiting the space provides to engage in dialogue with others, and to imagine new forms of social, civic and cultural engagement in transit.”

About Dialogue in Transit: “This special iteration of Dialogue in Transit organized as part of AMBOS (Art Made Between Opposite Sides), invited artists, researchers and activists from Los Angeles, San Diego and Tijuana to reflect on trans-border dynamics shaping the lives of communities in the greater Baja / Alta California border region. Each conversation took place inside of the cog•nate cruiser, as we waited in line to cross the border, and was live-broadcast over hyper-local pirate radio at the San Ysidro Port of Entry on 87.9 FM.”
