This year the symposium will take a deep dive into the questions of America’s international influence as the global order rests on increasingly shaky pillars. Can the U.S. still retain its democratic form of government and compete in this increasingly complex and troubled world? If so, how? This two-day symposium will explore these crucial questions with experts on Europe, Asia, the Middle East, nuclear deterrence, diplomacy, and the importance of information dissemination in the internet age.
"A Tenuous Thread" is a retrospective encompassing five decades of creative output by master weaver Bhakti Ziek. Arranged chronologically, the retrospective charts the evolution of Ziek's pioneering approach to weaving alongside a historical survey of textile craft that raises questions about cultural appropriation that can be traced back to the late Byzantine plot to steal silk production from China's Tang Dynasty.
The retrospective features works from Ziek's storied weaving career, from her humble beginnings as a student of textiles in South America to her prominent career in academia and beyond. Samplers, tapestries, and mounted textile works imbued with personal symbols, motifs, and text from Ziek's life illustrate the inextricable link between the artist's weaving practice and lived experience. Ziek demonstrates this link with live, in-gallery weaving demonstrations on her floor loom every Thursday and Saturday following the exhibition’s opening on 23 February 2023.
A selection of works by Ziek's pupils-turned-colleagues, including Tali Weinberg, Jovencio de la Paz, Anastatia Spicer, Susie Taylor & Ann Morton, accompany Ziek's oeuvre and establish a figurative and material dialogue that evokes the mindful knowledge sharing essential to textile craft and innovation.
Learn the history of textile production and the secrets of weaving from one of America's foremost contemporary fiber artists, Bhakti Ziek.
Join master weaver Bhakti Ziek in-gallery every Thursday & Saturday for a live demonstration of her fiber craft as she weaves a large-scale tapestry on her floor loom that showcases the various techniques used in the textile works that comprise her 50-year retrospective, "A Tenuous Thread."
Demonstration times subject to change, call the gallery at 505.982.8111 for more information.

Join artists Bhakti Ziek, Jenny Day, Cristina González & Valerie Rangel for a series of artist talks that mark the concurrent conclusion of these artists' respective exhibitions.
Bhakti Ziek discusses her 50-year retrospective that showcases her progressive textile arts practice, which includes the monumental, suspended tapestry series "Wheel of Life," a contemporary fiber arts masterwork. A dialogue about weaving techniques in a recreation of Ziek's studio space, featuring samplers and a floor loom, rounds out the talk.
Jenny Day discusses "A Feast to Remember," a massive mixed-media installation piece filled with colorful creatures overrunning a banquet table. A ceremonial candle lighting and extinguishing marks the end of the artists' talks.
Cristina González presents her suspended amate paper installation, "Apapachando la Matria," which debuted at Vladem Contemporary and explores Chicana identity and how to heal generational trauma.
Valerie Rangel presents intricate, hand-cut paper compositions that provide a glimpse into the artist's artistic philosophy and aesthetically complement González's smaller-scale works.
