6 days ago | santafenewmexican.com | Ania Hull

The Denver Art Museum has exhibits by two distinct artists this spring that are worth the six-hour trek from Santa Fe: Kent Monkman (Cree), whose exhibition opens Sunday, April 20, and runs through August 17, and Japanese-American artist Tokio Ueyama, a former prisoner of war whose retrospective closes June 1.

It’s not every day that an actor in a Broadway biographical musical performs a real-life character on stage in front of the person they’re meant to portray. In fact, it’s quite rare — after all, Evita Perón died in 1952, more than two decades before the musical Evita debuted, and Alexander Hamilton, in the case of Hamilton the musical, more than two centuries.

John Muir (1834-1914) may be well known in the U.S., but perhaps not so much abroad. Lomig, a French artist, author, and illustrator based in Brittany in northern France and who’s written and illustrated numerous award-winning graphic novels, had never heard of Muir, the Father of National Parks, until a few years ago.

Forget sliced bread. One of, if not the best, idea to ever come out of America is that of national parks — at least, according to environmentalist, writer, and Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner Wallace Stegner (1909-1993), and inasmuch as national parks help preserve natural spaces and protect the ecosystems.

This year marks the 20th edition of Experiments in Cinema, an international film festival in Albuquerque founded by Bryan Konefsky. The team behind EIC sees their event, produced annually by Basement Films, as more of a micro-community than a festival, because it works differently from a regular film festival: There are no VIP passes, competitions, red carpet, or prizes.

On March 28, the city of Mandalay, the second-largest in Myanmar (Burma), was struck by a 7.7 magnitude earthquake. I’ve never been to Burma but during the pandemic, and for two years, I taught online classes to 8- and 9-year-olds in Mandalay. I had once been a secondary school teacher and hold a lifelong teaching license, so when a former British colleague asked me in late 2020 to volunteer at a hybrid school in the City of Gems, I agreed.

Sage Vogel wants to share a dicho: “Con buenas palabras, no hay mal entendedor.” With good words, there is no misunderstanding. Vogel was born in Northern New Mexico to Jim Vogel, a painter, and Christen Vogel, a frame artist whose Hispanic roots in New Mexico go back into obscurity, Sage Vogel says. And like so many nuevomexicanos in the region, Sage Vogel grew up hearing Northern New Mexican dichos, poetic proverbs or adages that speak to truth, wherever he’d go.
