Upcoming Exhibits and Events
La Acequia, Nuestra Madre: Art and history of New Mexican waterways
Exhibit:
May 3rd - August 30th
Water is life — and in New Mexico, it flows through centuries of Indigenous knowledge, colonial history, and living community. Co-curated by artist Toby Morfin and Claire Pelaez Motsinger, La Acequia, Nuestra Madre: Art and History of New Mexican Waterways brings together fifteen contemporary New Mexican artists whose creative practices are deeply intertwined with the land they tend. Centering the acequia — a centuries-old communal irrigation system shaped by Indigenous, Moorish, Spanish, and American histories — the exhibition honors those who labor to keep the water flowing, and asks what is lost when a community's bond with water and land is severed. Participating artists include Floyd Archuleta, Luis Barela, Steve Chavez, Erin Currier, Jodie Herrera, Nicholas Herrera, Steven Katzman, Juanita J. Lavadie, Felix Lopez, Krissa Lopez, Joeseph A. Lopez, Huberto Maestas, Toby Morfin, Jody Naranjo, Michael Naranjo, Marcella Pacheco, Roxanne Swentzell, and Jim Vogel.
