SUMMARY:Fuerza: A Collaborative Student Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:As a final celebration of Women’s History month and in connection with the NHCC’s current exhibition “Qué Chola\,” high school students across the Albuquerque area were invited to submit visual work they had created. Artists were asked to think critically and broadly while examining the experiences of women and the role of gender identity in today’s society. The works in this exhibition celebrate feminine strength\, resilience\, and empowerment through an intersectional lens\, examining gender identity alongside race\, ethnicity\, class\, age\, etc. Reflected in the students’ work are deep explorations of identity and what that means to these students. \nARTISTS FEATURED: Joslyne Martínez\, Erika Romero\, Paloma Lee-Mock\, Brittney Juancho\, Alejandra Casimiro\, Mariza Sandoval\, Alexis Shack\, Rebecca Martínez\, Etienne Erickson\, Amelia Dunn\, Juliette Garlick\, D’Shawn Smith\, Jaileen De La Cruz\, Emily Bolton\, Alexis Rodriguez\, Juan Hernandez\, Jade Baldonado\, Mercy Mummert\, Victoria López\, Olivia Sim\, Janeth Llamas\, Tessa Rasmussen.

SUMMARY:Qué Chola
DESCRIPTION:The Chola is a significant figure in the Latina imagination for the ways that she represents a feminine strength\, power\, and resilience in the face of racial\, gender\, and economic adversity. She is a figure that many young Latinas in the U.S. admire and emulate. The last few years have seen a surge in interest in the Chola as a figure and this exhibition will explore this dynamic from a feminist perspective through art and popular culture. \nThe Qué Chola Photo Board will be displayed in the exhibition and is an opportunity to honor the Cholas in our lives\, past and present\, by sharing photos of homegirls showing off their style and pride. \nIf you have a photo you’d like included on the photo board you can send them to us. And if you send them before March 8\, they will be part of the Qué Chola! opening reception. For more information on how to share\, click here. \nArtists: \nAdriana Avila and Benjamin Avila\nAll Chola\nAmy Martinez\, Kari Orvik\, and Vero Majano\nAndrew Montoya\nAntonia Fernandez\nArthur López\nBlackout Theater\nJesús “Chuy” Rangel\nCrystal Galindo\nDavid Gonzales\nDelilah Montoya\nEddyrose\nGaspar Enríquez\niLash\nJudith F.

SUMMARY:Braceros Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition features more than 30 black and white photographs of braceros taken by the photojournalist collective known as the Hermanos Mayo. It also uses narratives\, video and artifacts to tell the story of the Bracero Program. The program grew out of a series of bi-lateral agreements between Mexico and the United States\, bringing Mexican men to the United States as guest-workers on short-term\, primarily agricultural labor contracts. In 1942\, these workers came to remedy wartime production shortages by supplying much-needed labor during the early years of World War II.  The Bracero Program\, which derived its name from the Spanish word for a manual laborer\, “bracero” continued uninterrupted until 1964. During this extensive program\, 4.6 million contracts were signed\, with many individuals returning several times on different contracts\, making it the largest United States contract labor program. An examination of the exhibition images\, documents\, and artifacts contributes to our understanding of the lives of migrant workers in Mexico and the United States\, as well as our knowledge of immigration\, nationalism\, labor practices\, and race relations.\nThis exhibit is free and open to the public

SUMMARY:Because It’s Time: Unraveling Race and Place in NM
DESCRIPTION:Art Museum hours and prices HERE \nNow\, you can also purchase the catalog for this incredible exhibit. \nBecause It’s Time: Unraveling Race and Place in NM examines race and identity in New Mexico and is a space for artistic expression that grapples with the complexities of who we are\, how we are understood\, and how that impacts the way we live (or don’t) in a variety of places.  The exhibition features approximately 26 newly created artworks by artists with different experiences in New Mexico alongside works from the National Hispanic Cultural Center Art Museum’s permanent collection. All of the artworks delve into  race and place through an intersectional lens alongside gender\, sexuality\, class\, nationality\, citizenship status\, etc. from local\, national\, and international perspectives. \nThis museum exhibition included much contemplation by the Visual Arts program staff and interns about what it might look like to create an exhibit that relinquished a bit of institutional control and placed it in the hands of the artists. Many of the works were not seen in their completed form until just weeks before the opening. The process continues to be a learning experience and the hope is to maintain an environment of openness and education\, for the staff and our visitors\, even after the exhibition closes. \nWe are so honored to work with this amazing group of artists. \nInvited artists include: Adelina Cruz\, Adriana Ortiz-Carmona\, Apolo Gomez Autumn Chacon\, Aziza Murray\, Baochi Zhang\, Brandee Caoba\, Corey Pickett\, Cynthia Cook\, Earl McBride\, Ehren Kee Natay\, Eliza Naranjo Morse\, Eric-Paul Riege\, Erin Currier\, Fatemeh Baigmoradi\, Grace Rosario Perkins\, Hamed Marwan\, Jami Porter Lara\, Jessica Chao\, Joanna Keane Lopez\, John Boyce\, Lucrecia Troncoso\, Monica Kennedy\, Nanibah Chacon\, Rose B. Simpson\, and Zahra Marwan. \nArtists from the permanent collection include: Ana Laura de la Garza\, Annie Lopez\, Asamblea de Artistas Revolucionarios de Oaxaca (ASARO)\, Carlos Cortéz\, Consuelo Jiménez Underwood\, Delilah Montoya\, Eduardo Muñoz Bachs\, Eric J. Garcia\, Ester Hernández\, Jason Garcia\, Nicolás de Jesús\, Noni Olabisi\, Pamela Enriquez-Courts\, Rosana Paulino\, Rupert Garcia\, Scherezade Garcia\, Vincent Valdez\, Yreina D. Cervantez. \nArtwork credits: Clockwise from upper left: Corey Pickett\, Las Mujeres (1 of 3)\, 2018. Wood\, foam\, fabric\, repurposed purses.

SUMMARY:¡Aquí Estamos: The Heart of Arte!
DESCRIPTION:Art Museum hours and prices HERE \n¡Aquí Estamos: The Heart of Arte! celebrates the NHCC Art Museum’s growing permanent collection with a revitalized vibe and a brand new selection of works. This exhibition was a collaborative project as the entire NHCC Visual Arts staff and interns combed through the collection and worked together to decide which pieces should welcome in 2017. This sampling explores the contributions of these artists and how each work can serve as a reminder of the heart that thrives in strong and resilient communities. \nThe collection contains over 2\,500 artworks by Hispanic\, Chicana/o\, and Latina/o\, artists from around the globe most of which have been generously donated to the museum by artists and collectors. It reflects the diversity of Latina/o art and expression in all of its vibrancy\, creativity\, pointed humor and social consciousness. The National Hispanic Cultural Center Art Museum exists to support and engage the work of these artists and share their creations and their stories with the broader community.

SUMMARY:Fantasía Fantástica: Imaginative Spaces and Other-Worldly Collage
DESCRIPTION:Art Museum hours and prices HERE \nFantasía Fantástica: Imaginative Spaces and Other-Worldly Collage features the fantastical creations of four artists whose works toy with space and expand the parameters of collage. The artists\, Nick Abdalla\, Cynthia Cook\, Carlos Quinto Kemm\, and Rachel Muldez\, collect objects and images that populate the day-to-day but often go unnoticed. They then reframe them as part of a new imaginative whole. The works in this exhibition offer opportunities to contemplate how fantasy and the imaginary inform daily life as well as the historical and contemporary climate of Hispanic and Latina/o art more broadly. \nSpace and scale are key components in each artist’s work. Each artist interacts with space both by changing the setting that encompasses their work\, as well as by creating a new world within the object. From delicate and intimate scenes to sizable\, yet graceful sculptures\, the magic is in the details as much as it permeates the broader environment created by the artworks.

SUMMARY:Through the Eyes of a Child - Who Am Eye
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday–Saturday\, 10am–5pm \nThrough the Eyes of a Child – Who Am Eye was spearheaded by Katherine Irish\, school counselor and professional artist\, Mrs. Loretta Huerta\, principal at Reginald Chavez and Doug Bellen\, music instructor at Reginald Chavez Elementary. They received a grant from Horizons Grant\, APS Foundation. Carr Imaging generously donated 50% of the professional printing costs of the photographs in the show. Katherine Irish curated the exhibit to be held at the Hispanic Cultural Center \nThis project was designed to celebrate our students’ vision of their culture\, family and friendships. It was a continuation of last year’s photographic project\, Eye Am\, headed by Fernando Delgado. Students were taught principles of photography and the use of cameras as an art media and that photography and art is a viable career path. The idea of using photography as a visual arts form that can be expressive of our students\, their community\, culture and environment was stressed. Calling attention to the beauty and content of their photographs gave their ideas and effort importance. Students were asked to honor and reflect on their lives and photograph what they value and celebrate; their families \, friends and neighborhoods. The students were also asked to write an essay about their photographs. We will celebrate and affirm our 2015-2016 5th graders creativity by exhibiting their photographs.\nFree community event

SUMMARY:The Art of Acquisition:  New New Mexican Works at the NHCC
DESCRIPTION:Art Museum hours and prices HERE \nHow do museums acquire their collections? What makes an artwork\, or an artist\, worthy of collecting?   These are questions museums face every day and the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC) Art Museum is no exception. \n“The Art of Acquisition:  New New Mexican Works at the NHCC” features art works that have been collected and added to the museum’s permanent collection over the last five years.  All of the pieces featured in this exhibition are by New Mexican artists or artists living in New Mexico\, and their work is displayed in the NHCC Community Gallery which is designed to showcase the artistic contributions of the local community. These acquisitions\, like the majority of the NHCC Art Museum permanent collection\, were given by artists and collectors and the museum would not be what it is today without the support of our generous donors. \nAccepting a donation is serious business and the NHCC Art museum has a rigorous process of approval before an object can become a part of the museum’s permanent collection. An object is first reviewed by the museum director and curatorial staff.  It is then presented to the NHCC Art Museum’s Collections Committee which is composed of art experts\, collectors\, and artists from throughout New Mexico.  When an object is approved by the committee\, the Director of the NHCC Art Museum and Visual Arts Program presents the piece at the NHCC Board of Directors Meeting for Board approval.  Only upon the Board’s approval does the object become a part of the NHCC Art Museum’s permanent collection. This process ensures that the NHCC Art Museum is the proper home for every object we acquire and it all begins with our donors and their affection for this museum. \nIn the last five years\, the NHCC’s Art Museum collection has grown– in fact doubled its size– through donations from communities and collectors. Very few objects are purchased because our acquisitions purchase fund has yet to be fully developed.  An acquisitions fund for the permanent collection would enable the NHCC Art Museum curators to target significant works by important artists for the collection.  We would be able to pay artists directly\, so that they would receive the full value for their visual creations.  Doing this would allow museum staff to continue to foster a supportive community interaction as well as follow best practices for museum curatorship and collection stewardship. \nWhile we hope to grow the acquisitions fund in the very near future\, we recognize the importance of acknowledging and celebrating the contributions of those who have helped the collection grow despite financial constraints.

SUMMARY:Moving Forward\, Looking Back: Journeys Across the Old Spanish Trail
DESCRIPTION:April 1\, 2016 – September 30\, 2016\nTuesday-Friday\, 10 am-5 pm\n 1st Saturday of the Month\, 1 pm-5 pm \nViewable online here. \nThe exhibition Moving Forward\, Looking Back: Journeys Across the Old Spanish Trail explores Spanish heritage in the United States Southwest via the Old Spanish Trail\, a route that linked the colonial outposts of New Mexico and California. The exhibition is curated by Janire Nájera and presented by the National Hispanic Cultural Center and SPAIN Arts and Culture and supported by Wales Arts International. \nAn artistic and genealogical project combining photography\, video and sound by artist and curator Janire Nájera\, this exhibition began in March 2014 with a road trip across the Southwest following the footsteps of trader Antonio Armijo\, who opened the route of the Old Spanish Trail between the states of New Mexico and California in the 19th century. The objective of Nájera’s trip was to meet\, interview\, and photograph Spanish descendants to explore how the traditions of the first settlers have merged with local cultures influencing the creation and identity of today’s pueblos and cities. The journey has been documented with the assistance of visual artist Matt Wright\, who took a range of panoramic images and time lapses to place the portraits within the environments in which they were captured. \nEach portrait in the exhibition has an associated\, taped conversation between Nájera and the protagonist of the picture. The portrayed talk about their experiences\, their memories\, their perception about being Hispanic descendants\, and how these origins influence in their lives.  In addition to the exhibition\, Nájera has recorded her experience along the route in a book\, combining the portraits and interviews of the Spanish descendants with academic essays about the legacy of Spanish language\, architecture\, gastronomy\, art\, religion\, and intangible heritage found in New Mexico and California\, once connected through the Old Spanish Trail.

SUMMARY:MARCO! Celebrating Nuestro Maestro José Marcos Garcia
DESCRIPTION:Well-known to much of the Albuquerque community simply by how he signed his works\, using only the name “MARCO\,” artist José Marcos Garcia carved political figures\, popular heroes\, santos\, and so much more.

SUMMARY:Afro Brasil: Art and Identities
DESCRIPTION:Brazil* hosted soccer’s World Cup in the summer of 2014\, and soon will host the 2016 Summer Olympics. While many are familiar with these events and Brazil’s other achievements\, they may be unaware of the cultural and ethnic complexity of this large South American country. \nThe largest Portuguese-speaking country in the world\, Brazil is home to the second largest population of African origin outside the African continent. Yet\, despite its sporadic economic dynamism\, its soccer prowess (who has not heard of Pelé\, the “Black Pearl”?)\, the fame of its Carnaval\, and the acclaim given the 1959 Oscar-winning French film Black Orpheus (Orfeu Negro)\, starring Afro-Brazilian actors\, many aspects of its Afro-Brazilian identity\, art\, and culture have not received the status or attention they merit. \nToday\, Afro-Brazilian art and identities saturate the core of Brazilian culture and society\, but may not rise commensurately to the surface in galleries\, museums\, or the works of art historians. The artists\, writers\, musicians\, and critics who do tackle Afro-Brazilian reality more often than not narrate; in doing so they include their personal experiences in a unique multi-racial and multi-ethnic nation-state. AfroBrasil:  Art and Identities shows the multiple important ways in which Afro-Brazilian artists and their colleagues from other countries address the complexities of Brazil’s African heritage and its impact across frontiers and oceans. \nUsing a team approach\, the exhibition has been curated to comprise four distinct\, yet inter-related\, sections\, which can be visited in any order to make different connections and gain different perspectives. \nThe introduction highlights works from the Latin American collections in the University of New Mexico’s Center for Southwest Research as well as the UNM Art Museum\, and features historic\, romanticized photos of Afro-Brasileiros. It also highlights the importance of cordeles (chapbooks) purchased in the streets of Afro-Brazilian communities. These affordable pieces of literature often document and detail the history of Afro-Brazilians\, a history still not often validated. \nThe second section showcases an exquisite series of lithographs from the University of New Mexico’s Tamarind Institute. The Institute’s 2012 project\, “AFRO:  Black Identity in America\,” invited three artists from Brazil and three from North America to collaborate and create works based on issues of identity. \nThe next section highlights the research and work of Paulo Lima\, who recently completed his Ph.D. in Theater and Performance Studies at the University of California-Los Angeles. His photographic images and dressed figures focus specifically on garments worn by practitioners of the Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé\, a religion with roots in Brazil since the beginning of the 18th century\, when Brasil was still the jewel in the crown of the world-wide Portuguese Empire. \nThe final section draws again from the extensive Latin American collections of UNM’s Center for Southwest Research\, as well as private collections. It portrays the popular and religious culture of Candomblé in its varied forms\, from offerings to the Orixás (Yoruba deities) to posters popularizing the Orixás as superheroes\, and helps contextualize all themes that run through the exhibition. \nPhotograph:  Baianas (Praça de Sé\, Salvador\, Bahia)\, Paulo Lima\, 2013\, courtesy of the artist \n*Brasil is spelled with an “s” in Portuguese and Spanish\, with a “z” in English.  Text and label materials in this exhibition use both spellings\, depending on context.
