As one of the best rising political cartoonists in the country, since 2009 Joaquin Junco Jr better known by his artist name Junco Canché has done political cartoons featured in publications such as El Coyote Crossing Borders the San Diego Free Press, La Prensa San Diego as well as the Southwestern College Sun; and most recently working as a regular guest contributor for the nationally syndicated comic strip La Curacha from San Diego native Lalo Alcaraz. As a Chicano artist, Junco’s art and satirical comics offer an often overlooked perspective view of both the state and national politics from a adamantly and unapologetic, Chicano/Mexican-American perspective. Giving a unique look into politics and life around the U.S./Mexico border region and South-Western United States; few artists have managed to so cleverly and concisely comment on today’s political climate of the past few years better than Junco. Here at Step Off! Radio we had the opportunity to sit down and speak with Junco on a variety of topics from his memories growing up in Mexico in the 90’s, the countless nuances of the lived Chicano experience here in the U.S., Cultural appropriation vs, appreciation, decolonization in the arts and pop-culture as well as his most recent collaborations with musical artists such as Kozmik Force. We hope you all enjoy our discussion with the one and only Junco Canché. *BIG shout out to Junco for his continued support and for his immense patience with us as we worked on completing this episode!
