Daniel Hernandez
Journalist, communicator, chronicler.
Interests: I'm interested in the fusion and mixing of all cultures, nations, and borders. As a storyteller my building blocks were shaped while growing up bilingual and bicultural on the U.S.-Mexico border, in multiethnic barrios. I'm excited by all forms of cultural production, by the intersections that exist between art, society, the sublime, and the streets.

Excavating an Old 'Down & Delirious' Video

Estrella Cercana: A newspaper's obituary, Part 4
** ... Continued from previous post [or start with Part 1, then 2, then 3]. And here is some of the cool shit we got around to publishing in six lil issues of 8-pages each! This was the best part of the entire Estrella Cercana operation, I think. We turned into a platform for fresh and intere...
We are the world
It's like thirty years old but this is all of us right now. And it's true. Bob Dylan was on stage during the recording of this fundraising anthem gold from the 1980s (Remember "Solidaridad"?). But he was evidently cut out of the edit entirely, and it's kinda brilliant how they did it. Reference: Current mood: Bob Dylan in the ‘We are the world’ video. pic.twitter.com/Ki8xzt08A8 — Sam Hammond (@vomcruise) October 18, 2017 Continue reading

A Prayer: 'Dry Drunk Emperor,' 10 Years After Katrina
I once said this song is an "artifact, a witness, an indictment, a prayer." Ten years later, "Dry Drunk Emperor" by the 2000s New York band TV on the Radio remains the most stirring offering in any language of mourning to the victims and survivors of Hurricane Katrina. And more potently, ten years after the avoidable disaster, the song is a clear call for revolution. It's references to then-President George W. Bush as a "dry drunk emperor" of "gold cross jock skull and bones" and a "mocking smile" are reminders of the darkest moments of the Bush-era decadence. In the... Continue reading

The year I ate my way through Oaxaca and reported in Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Chile, and Guerrero, Mexico
* With my homie Franco, an hincha for club Newell's Old Boys in Rosario, Argentina, May 2014. Photo by producer Raymundo Perez-Arellano. There is no use apologizing. Intersections, like a lot of blogs that started in this long-forgotten blog big bang of 2005-2006, went into posting decline aft...
Watch: Who killed Alberto Nisman?
Above, our VICE News documentary produced by the Mexico bureau, regarding the case of Alberto Nisman, the federal prosecutor who was investigating the 1994 bombing of the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association in Buenos Aires. Our crew spent a week in BA investigating this case, with local producer Gaston Cavanagh. It was one of the more complex stories I've had to cover, because every time we reached what seemed like a reasonable conclusion about something, the next turn, the next interview, completely flipped it. The assignment was also challenging because it dealt with the thorny themes of anti-Semitism, terrorism, the Kirchners, the... Continue reading

'El Chapo' captured in Mexico: What you need to know
* Photo: Bloomberg via Getty Images. ** Originally published at VICE.com and VICE News, on Feb. 24, 2014. “I’m a farmer.” So said Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán when the press asked him what he did for a living on June 10, 1993, following his arrest and extradition to Mexico after years on the run. ...
Trailer: Munchies Guide to Oaxaca
Check out the official trailer for the Guide to Oaxaca I am hosting for MUNCHIES, the newly launched food channel at VICE. It's a quick taste of the five-part, hour-long series I recorded in November with colleagues Santiago F. and Guillermo A. from VICE México. Yes, I tried the turtle eggs. * Previously, "BBC: Mexico's youth culture explosion," "Video report: Tacos de guisado in Polanco." Continue reading
