Since 1995, Bryan Konefsky has supported moving image artists from around the world through his work with Basement Films and his Experiments in Cinema film festival. This screening marks a rare public appearance and unique opportunity for New Mexicans to experience Konefsky's wry sense of storytelling combined with his sharp critique of the art world and the wild and wooly world of academia-land. Konefsky's work explores issues such as identity, community and place, political corruption and urban decay, notions of masculinity - from the personal to widening circles of the political.

Konefsky's creative work has been showcased at museums and film festivals in countries such as Argentina, Cuba, Germany, Norway, Russia, South Korea, Spain and the UK. This screening is being presented in conjunction with a retrospective of Konefsky's creative work at 1415 Gallery located in the same complex as Alpaca. An 84 page catalogue that tracks Konefsky's creative work since the mid 1960s will also be available at the screening.

100 Years of Collecting|100 Years of Connecting is on view through December 13, 2025 at the Nuevo Mexicano Heritage Arts Museum, located at 750 Camino Lejo on Museum Hill in Santa Fe. Admission is free. Hours are noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. For more information, visit nmheritagearts.org.

The exhibition marks the Spanish Colonial Arts Society's centennial by telling its century-long story of creating and caring for an extraordinary trove of nearly 4,000 objects representing the distinctive Hispano heritage of New Mexico. This provides a unique lens on the Society’s legacy of connecting to a community of artists and supporters of Hispano arts in New Mexico and beyond.

Harwood Art Center is pleased to present Encountering Masculinity by 2025 Artist in Residence, Jocelyn Salaz. Encountering Masculinity explores masculinity through the lens of the performative theory of gender. Jocelyn examines men’s clothing, beginning with her own family for a generational perspective and then men from different world ethnicities and geographies. She grounds her exploration in clothing because of her interest in how textiles create a boundary between intimate space and the outside world, creating a space of resistance.

Join us for an Exhibition Reception & Artist Talk at Harwood on Saturday, October 18 from 4:30pm - 6:30pm. This event is free and open to the public.
