While intentions appear, at first, to be cruel, \u201cjanks\u201d are in fact an integral aspect of human interaction, used as much to strengthen camaraderie as to establish dominance. The project documents this tradition through crowdsourcing and field recording, in which participants recite \u201cjanks\u201d from memory and the collective gathers contextual information in an attempt to trace origins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They have recorded people telling \u201cjanks\u201d on video in 10 cities in 7 countries, and will be interviewing Queens residents as part of the Queens International 2016.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Las Reinas Open Rehearsal by Jesus Benavente and Felipe Castelblanco<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For Las Reinas, Benavente and Castelblanco collaborate with two Mariachi bands, one in Queens and the other based in Bogot\u00e1, Colombia, to write a new song in real-time, via online video chat. Working across cultural, social, and economic borders, the collaborating bands and artists will reveal the pervasiveness of the Mariachi genre, a Mexican musical tradition that is steeped in poverty, pride, protest, and community, but has been widely adapted to the needs of a globalized tourist economy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trouble\u2019s The Stood Maze, featuring musical performance by Patrick Higgins and visuals by E.S.P.
