Benjamin Radford, deputy editor of the Skeptical Inquirer science magazine, will talk about how national panics related to crime, immigrants, social decay and other perceived threats have become pervasive in the United States. Combining media literacy, folklore, investigative journalism, psychology, neuroscience, and critical thinking approaches, Radford reveals the powerful—and often unrecognized—role that fear plays in clouding perceptions about (and thwarting progress in) the United States and around the world.

New Mexico’s only annual celebration of the unique history and culture of the Sephardic Jews in the Southwest enters its 17th year with a focus on the complex identities that make up New Mexico’s rich cultural tapestry. The festival runs from May 21-24, featuring music, liturgical services, poetry, art, performances, workshops, and lectures by scholars exploring intersections of Jewish, Indigenous, and Hispano realities.

Sunday's schedule includes a discussion on Indigeneity and Diaspora with Christina Castro, Camila Bustamante, and Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb; a performance of the Prologue scene of the new version of The Merchant of Santa Fe by Ramón Flores; a workshop with Anthony Fleg called Writing to Heal; an experimental somatic exploration on the themes of paradox and multiplicity with Evie Vigil & Blanca Stacy Villalobos from Song Dog Relations; and a phenomenal closing concert by The Sephardic Borderlands Ensemble, whose sound is a unique integration of Sephardic Jewish hymns with New Mexican and Borderlands style rhythm and music.

Join Sanctuary Cinema, in collaboration with W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Expora, and Xstudio, at FUSION on Thursday, May 28, at 5:30 PM, for a community screening of GATHER:

Illumine Presents In association with Ager Meillier Films and First Nations Institute

A film by Sanjay Rawal

Director: Sanjay Rawal Producer: Tanya Meillier

Website: www.gather.film Instagram @gatherfilmproject Facebook @gatherfilm

Executive Producers: Jason Momoa, Brian Mendoza, Jennifer Buffett, Wendy Schmidt, Christine Schantz. GATHER is a 74 minute feature documentary.

GATHER is an intimate portrait of a growing movement amongst Indigenous Americans to reclaim their spiritual and cultural identities through obtaining sovereignty over their ancestral food systems, while battling against the historical trauma brought on by centuries of genocide.

SYNOPSIS: Gather follows the stories of natives on the frontlines of a growing movement to re connect with spiritual and cultural identities that were devastated by genocide. Am indigenous chef embarks on an ambitious project to reclaim ancient food ways on the Apache reservation; in South Dakota a gifted Lakota high school student, raised on a buffalo ranch, is proving her tribes native wisdom through her passion for science; and a group of young men of the Yurok tribe in Northern California are struggling to keep their culture alive and rehabilitate the habitat of their sacred salmon. All these stories combine to show how the reclaiming and recovery of ancient food ways is a way forward for native Americans to bring back health and vitality to their people.

High‑energy particle accelerators have fundamentally reshaped our understanding of matter and the universe. From the earliest “atom smashers” to today’s sophisticated machines capable of probing the smallest subatomic scales, accelerator technology has continuously expanded the boundaries of science and discovery.

We are now entering a transformative new era with the advent of compact laser‑powered accelerators (LPAs). By achieving accelerating field gradients up to 1,000 times greater than those of conventional technologies, LPAs dramatically reduce the size and cost of high‑energy accelerators. This breakthrough has the potential to democratize access to accelerator‑based science, opening the door to applications ranging from fundamental physics research to medicine, industry, and national security. In this talk, Dr. Milton will explore how laser‑powered accelerators work, why they represent a paradigm shift, and what their emergence means for the future of science and technology.

Jerusalem Demsas, journalist, author, and leading voice on housing policy, will explore how communities like Albuquerque can strengthen planning and zoning approaches to increase housing supply while balancing neighborhood character, equity, and long-term economic health. As Albuquerque continues to grapple with infill development, housing shortages, and growth along key corridors, she will share models of successful reform. She will also highlight the tradeoffs cities face when local process, preservation, and participation intersect with the need to build more housing. This session will offer insights into how Albuquerque can better respond to housing pressures and manage change. Demsas is currently Editor-in-Chief of The Argument and formerly a staff writer at The Atlantic.

Hear from the artists featured in Unearthing Futures/Desenterrando Futuros. This event is ticketed in the Arthur Bell Auditorium. Details forthcoming. Visit The Harwood Museum of Art website for updated information.
