Film: El Apóstol
2019-05-09 | NHCC-Newsletter-November-2-30
7 pm
An escaped convict follows the Camino de Santiago in an attempt to recover the stolen jewels hidden years ago by a fellow inmate in the remote, wooded Galician village of Xanaz. There, he encounters sinister old men, strange disappearances, spirits, a peculiar priest, and even the archbishop of Santiago de Compostela in this tale full of fantasy, terror, and humor. The stop-motion 3D animation film was partially produced through crowdfunding, with a total of 560 producers. Presented in partnership with Instituto Cervantes as part of the Bank of America Free Thursday Film Series.
2012; Fernando Cortizo; Spanish with English subtitles; 84 minutes; not rated.
The Camino de Santiago (“Way of St. James”) is a large network of ancient pilgrimage routes that stretch across Europe and come together at the tomb of the apostle St. James (Santiago) in Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. Since the beginning of the 9th century, when the tomb was discovered, Santiago de Compostela has been a pan-European place of peregrination. The city’s Old Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985, and the European Union declared the Camino de Santiago to be the first European Cultural Itinerary in 1987. According to Catholic tradition, completing a pilgrimage on the Camino, some 500 miles along the major routes, assures forgiveness of one’s sins. The walk now attracts people of all faiths and backgrounds, and over 200,000 contemporary pilgrims embark on the journey each year.
The April films, as well as this first May film, in the Bank of America Free Thursday Film Series, presented in partnership with Instituto Cervantes and the Spanish Resource Center, were selected for their insights into different elements of the Way.
Free ticketed event; tickets available one hour before show

La Canoa: John Mraz "The Braceros Program and the Hermanos Mayo"
2019-05-18 | NHCC-Newsletter-August-26–September-7
2 pm
Please join us as Dr. Mraz examines the Hermanos Mayo, Spanish-Mexican photojournalists whose images of the braceros make up the current NHCC exhibit, Braceros: Photographed by the Hermanos Mayo. The photojournalist collective knew what it meant to emigrate, as their story began during one of the modern world’s great conflagrations: the Spanish Civil War. With the defeat of the Republic in 1939, the Mayo came to Mexico where they worked for more than 40 periodicals, creating an enormous archive of some five million negatives. The Hermanos Mayo’s photographs of the braceros are important for what they show us about these migratory workers and what they tell us about the perspectives of these graphic reporters. It is important to applaud the artfulness of the Mayo collective while recognizing that particular social realities had to exist before they could be reproduced in photographs. As Julio Mayo said, “Photography has its creative part, but within reality.”
John Mraz is Research Professor at the Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades, Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (Mexico) and National Researcher III. He has published more than 200 articles, book chapters, and essays in Europe, Latin America, and the United States on the uses of photography, cinema, and video in recounting history. Among his books are Photographing the Mexican Revolution; Looking for Mexico: Modern Visual Culture and National Identity; Nacho López, Mexican Photographer, and Uprooted: Braceros in the Hermanos Mayo Lens. He has directed award-winning documentaries, and curated many international photographic exhibits.
And don’t forget to stop in the History and Literary Arts building to see the Braceros exhibit photographed by The Hermanos Mayo.
This event is free and open to the public

Surviving Microaggressions Workshop (Rental)
2019-05-18 | Domenici Education Building, 1701 4th Street SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
10 am – 5 pm
Domenici Education Building, Room 122/124
When you are often the only person who identifies the way you do, entering a room can be extremely uncomfortable. Now imagine that a joke is then made on your behalf. Poking fun at your natural hair, or teasing your personality characteristics because they reject the stereotype associated with your group affiliation. “Not being black enough,” “Acting white,” or having your native language skills criticized by friends and family are often commonplace. These statements or questions are often a way to challenge our belonging or even our presence in certain spaces. This can happen at school, work or even at the grocery store. Learn how to work through these situations and what to say when microaggressions appear.
$40 Early Bird Registration, $80 Groups of 3 & $60 Late Registration
(fees not included in the price of the registration)
Val Day-Sanchez and Carli Romero present a 1 day training on handling these dangerous comments in our daily lives. Using Val’s hit book, The Only Black Girl in the Room as the basis of the curriculum, Val creates a safe space to learn how to talk about difficult topics like race, implicit bias, sexism, and gender identity. Carli will focus on our bodies. How do we center ourselves and our breath when we are triggered by microaggressions.
Through a series of activities, and discussions, participants will leave with options when they are the target of a microaggression from family or friends. We’ve all been caught off guard when certain comments are made. When do we say something? When can we say something? And more importantly, when we speak, how can we ensure we are heard?
Schedule
10 am Introductions: We are all entering this workshop from different places in our lives and in our understanding. That doesn’t mean we should judge.
10:15 am What Is A Microaggression?: It doesn’t matter if it was a joke, or your intention was to provide support, if someone leaves the interaction feeling offended or unsafe, clearly your intention was not aligned with your impact, now what? Perhaps you are singled out because of your sexual orientation? You go home to visit and feel anxious and bombarded by the off the cuff comments that are made, asking why you aren’t married? Or perhaps at a company mixer your coworkers begin debasing your friends because of their race or religion? You want to say something but you’re worried about offending your family, being alienated at work, or ostracizing your friends, what are your next steps?
11 am White Fragility, Relationship Dynamics & Trauma: What are the barriers keeping us silent? Who is speaking? Do we feel safe? Do we have power? All of this can effect how we respond to this poisonous statements. We all have biases, some we are aware of while others just seem natural. We’ve never examined them before. How do microaggressions reintroduce us to our past trauma? What’s the harm in stereotypes and assumptions and why does it seem like white people seem more surprised by this than people of color? Well, that phenomenon actually has a name, “White Fragility.”
12 pm-1 pm Microaggressions and Recovery: The tightening of our chest, sweaty palms, shortness of breath, this is often how our bodies respond to microaggressions. Learn coping mechanisms to help with this process. Shame, grief, anger, guilt can come up when speaking to microaggressions on either side of the instances, how do we deal with that? Well, it starts with sending love to our past self. We are talking about the reality that our beliefs drive our behaviors. Now from a mindfulness/therapeutic/recovery perspective – growth requires an ongoing examination of beliefs, and that is intricately connected to our racial/gendered conditioning. Let’s learn how to recognize and shift our beliefs which are grounded in biases.
1 pm-2 pm Lunch Break: Off Campus
2 pm-3 pm How Can we Respond to Microaggressions?: Let’s work through case studies. If it was a friend or an acquaintance versus the family matriarch? What about your employer or someone you work with? What can you say when confronted with a microaggression depends a lot on the setting.
4:30 pm-5 pm Closing thoughts: Whether we identify as marginalized group members or as an ally, what can we do in our little space in the world to create a more inclusive environment? Is it the way that we talk? The way that we engage on social media? How we speak with our family members about politics?
***Early Bird Registration rate until April 30th***
**Scholarships Available, contact Event Organizer for details**
