Daniel LubetzkyGUEST
I just heard that the factory that we helped get started, they just shut it down after, I don't know, it's '93, like 30-plus years of them cooperating, and for business reasons, they shut down that factory.
Daniel LubetzkyGUEST
But like that venture, there were so many other ventures I ended up starting in Sri Lanka, in Indonesia, and in South Africa, and Chiapas, Mexico, to try to make a little small contribution to helping people work together.
Daniel LubetzkyGUEST
But the model was what you said, Ryan, using business to not just make money, but to, in a sustainable way, heal wounds, build relationships between neighbors in conflict regions striving to coexist.
Daniel LubetzkyGUEST
And while KIND is what I'm better known for, PeaceWorks is what helped me get to KIND.
Billy FlemingGUEST
There are a lot of projects here kind of designed, managed by either, Indigenous practitioners, of design who just don't have credentials but would otherwise be recognized as architects, landscape architects in any other context, or who are doing it in kind of opposition to, very stark state violence.
Billy FlemingGUEST
And we could go to, you know, Oaxaca, or Chiapas, and look at some of the projects, you know, in the book that are featured there that are coming together in this way.
Billy FlemingGUEST
Or they're being, you know, built and designed and maintained by folk practitioners, who again, don't have professional credentials.
Billy FlemingGUEST
But, you know, if we were to do like the blind, like whatever it was, like Coke, Pepsi test, but for like architecture and landscape architecture, like is this a design project? Is this a design project on each side? Would obviously be recognized as works of architecture and landscape architecture and city planning.

There are a lot of projects here kind of designed, managed by either, uh, Indigenous practitioners, um, of design who just don't have credentials but would otherwise be recognized as architects, landscape architects in any other context, um, or who are doing it in kind of opposition to, um, very stark state violence.

Billy FlemingGUEST
Um, and so I wanted to think about like, you know, how do we get from today to tomorrow, and what role can projects like those featured in this book play in bridging that huge kind of chasm between what we think we want or perhaps what we say we deserve, and, and rightfully so? And the role that we live in, which is, you know, deeply unlike that world that we, we demand or, or need.
