FARE, Issue 14: Mexico City

Fare is a bi-annual print publication exploring city culture through the intersection of food, history, and community. Each issue is guided by locals of the city. They work with as many local writers, photographers, and illustrators as possible, so that in addition to expert insight, you the reader also get a real taste of the culture. 

In this issue:

Sitting atop ancient ruins and once-vast lakes, today's Mexico City is both humming with history and hungry for change.

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 colour 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 favourite with Ottoman origins
