FARE Issue 14: Mexico City

In Fare: Mexico City:

• Walk the canal-lined floating farms of Xochimilco, where the last vestiges of the city’s ancient agriculture still thrive

• Meet chef-activists Saqib Keval and Norma Listman, who interweave their culinary heritages in a workplace built on change

• Visit the studio of Afro-Mexican ceramicist Dagoberto Gonzalez, whose clay work is crafted from the volcanic black sands of his ancestor’s villages

• Breathe in a burst of color in the Mercado de Jamaica, a densely packed flower market named for its vibrant purple dried hibiscus flowers

• Watch taqueros spin out plates of tacos al pastor, the city-wide favorite with Ottoman origins
