SUMMARY:Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of NM Speaker Series: Dr. Richard Melzer
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 14\, 2026\n10:30 am – 12:00 pm \nNHCC | Dominici Education Building. Rm.122-124 \nPlease join the Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of New Mexico for the next speaker series featuring Dr. Richard Melzer. Dr. Melzer is a retired Professor of History with the University of New Mexico’s Valencia Campus\, and a former President of the Historical Society of New Mexico. He is a renowned historian\, author\, and educator whose work has significantly shaped the understanding and appreciation of New Mexico’s rich past. \nDr. Melzer will lead the conversation about W.P.A.\, in N.M. Depression Era (1935-1943) Economic Help of Infastructure & Construction +300 – Art & Culture – Music. Its important impact on New Mexicans of this challenging time. The Works Progress Administration (WPA; from 1935 to 1939\, then known as the Work Projects Administration from 1939 to 1943) was an American New Deal agency that employed millions of jobseekers (mostly men who were not formally educated) to carry out public works projects\, including the construction of public buildings and roads. It was set up on May 6\, 1935\, by presidential order\, as a key part of the Second New Deal. \nBased on archival material and interviews with former enrollees\, Dr. Melzer tells the story of some 50\,000 young men who worked in the Corps\, an initiative of the New Deal program\, to support their families and learn skills when the private sector failed them. Great pains were taken\, he notes\, to keep the Corp from becoming a paramilitary organization\, but when World War II broke out\, military recruiters plundered it to acquire well-disciplined and highly skilled soldiers. He also describes the enduring contributions the program made to the state. \nRichard Melzer is also a guest columnist for the Valencia County New-Bulletin. He has written several columns. One of which is “Eleanor Roosevelt: The first First Lady to visit Valencia County” published on Jan 19th\, 2023. \nThis is a free community event and open to the public. No reservation is required.

SUMMARY:OSW: NM Symphonic Chorus: Brahms – Requiem
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 15\, 2026\n2:00 pm \nOpera Southwest Presents: The New Mexico Symphonic Chorus \nBrahms – Requiem \nEin deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem)\nPresented in Spanish translation \nBrahms did not set a Latin mass. He called his great work “Ein deutsches Requiem—A German Requiem” – but wrote to a colleague that he would have preferred to call it “A Human Requiem.” \nHis intention was clear: this is music for the living\, not the dead. Not bound to any single dogma\, Brahms bypassed conventional liturgy to weave together scripture that speaks to sorrow\, love\, and release. Just three years after its premiere\, the work was performed in English with the composer’s support. \nIn that spirit of openness and consolation\, we present the Requiem in Spanish. \nFor more information on the New Mexico Symphonic Chorus and Opera Southwest please click HERE. \n$22\, $37\, $52\, $69 & $89 w/ discounts for anyone 30 years old and younger and Opera for All with a WIC or EBT card.

SUMMARY:NHCC Book Club: The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
DESCRIPTION:6:00 – 7:30 pm  \nThe NHCC invites lovers of literature\, folks who love to read\, and those who enjoy talking about the history and the vast array of identities that contribute to Latinidad/Hispanidad to join us! We will meet on the fourth Wednesday of every month in the Center’s HLA Conference Room.  \nFor the month of March 2026\, the NHCC Book Club will feature The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Three women in three different eras encounter danger and witchcraft in this eerie multigenerational horror saga from The New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic. \nPLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATION HERE! \n“Back then\, when I was a young woman\, there were still witches”: That was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva—stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that’s why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay\, an obscure author of macabre tales. \nIn the course of assembling her thesis\, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay’s most famous novel\, The Vanishing\, was inspired by a true story: Decades earlier\, during the Great Depression\, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate\, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. \nAs Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay’s manuscript\, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico\, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch. \nMinerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit\, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved. (Goodreads)  \nThe book is available at the Albuquerque Public Library: 5 regular copies\, 5 Large Type copies\, Libby audiobook\, Kindle  \nThis is a free community event. Please let us know who will be attending by registering below.  \nNHCC Book Club | New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs

SUMMARY:Reading: Dr. Irene Blea
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 4\, 2026\n12:30 – 2:00 pm \nNHCC | Salon Ortega \nJoin the NHCC for National Poetry Month! We are honored to once again host award-winning author Dr Irene Blea. She will be reading from her book of poems\, Dragonfly\, along with brand-new poetry material. \nRESERVE YOUR TICKETS HERE! \nIn this collection of fifty years of her poetry\, Dr. Irene I. Blea brazenly relates her efforts to understand what she thought was wrong with her. She came to an understanding of social and historical factors that misinformed her colonized mind. Decolonization demanded evaluating her mind\, body\, and spirit. She portrays decolonization as a complex process involving the rejection and redefinition of the colonizer’s language\, embracing her own tri-cultural history\, and commitment to ongoing learning and growth. This is a process that requires dedication and struggle to create a more just and equitable world. Irene Blea shares her transformation from the prescription of traditional female roles riddled by confusion and conflict to guide us to peace\, and understanding of the physical\, psychological\, and spiritual process that brought her to what it means to be a female human in a sometimes-hostile world. \nThe author writes: “On January 1\, 2024\, I opened my eyes and asked into the crispness of my bedroom if I would die that year. I have been obsessed with my death for decades and wrote about it in my autobiography\, Erené with Wolf Medicine. The room responded with\, ‘I don’t know.’ I decided to rise and make some coffee. I have outlived most of my friends\, and several seniors of my extended family. I do not want to die at home on a sweltering summer afternoon when everyone is working and not be found for a week bloated and smelling on the bathroom or kitchen floor. If I must leave this world\, it should be after viewing the golden firefly that visits me in my yard each year one more time. \n“I am not okay living to a hundred\, but do not want to die before I inform you that throughout my life\, I wrote much poetry and that I was one of few women at the forefront of Chicano literature. This type of poetry was an important literary movement. Chicano and Chicana poetry was rooted in resistance to class discrimination\, racism\, and sexism. Early poets of the time created a genre that added to American literature another category. We had unique philosophical\, topical\, and aesthetic features different from the divisions of genres of the time. This literary movement provided language for comparing\, contrasting\, and discussing literary words and works\, and served as an introduction to the formation of curricula and anthologies.” \nFree community event. \nReading: Irene Blea | New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs

After graduating\, she returned home to American Samoa and worked as an eighth-grade social studies teacher\, and in 2023\, she founded Pasefika Presence as an online\, submission-based magazine uplifting Pacific Islander stories and art. Rooted in the same commitment to centering Pacific Islander perspectives as her original column\, Pasefika Presence began as a way to engage her students in Pacific storytelling and has since grown into an international platform that has published two issues and received hundreds of submissions from creatives across the Pacific and its diasporas. Gabby went on to be awarded a Fulbright U.S. Graduate Award to pursue research in Auckland\, New Zealand\, and received an East-West Center Graduate Degree Fellowship to complete her master’s degree in Pacific Island Studies at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Today\, she continues to guide Pasefika Presence while using storytelling\, education\, and research to empower Pacific communities and expand space for Pasefika voices.\nhttps://www.pasefikapresence.org \nDr. Eleuterio Santiago Diaz is a poet\, professor\, and literary critic.
