EARLY CLOSURE AT 3PM ON MARCH 20TH DUE TO PRIVATE EVENT.
Organized by the School for Advanced Research (SAR) and the Vilcek Foundation, Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery, a unique traveling exhibition featuring over 100 historic and contemporary works in clay, offers a visionary understanding of Pueblo pots as vessels that carry community-based knowledge and personal experience. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC), established by the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico in 1976, welcomes the pottery vessels back to the Southwest as the “returning home” host venue of the exhibition’s four-year national tour. Curated by the Pueblo Pottery Collective, Grounded in Clay opens at the IPCC as the leading program of the Center’s 50th anniversary celebration year. The exhibition and its associated events are generously supported by the First Nations Development Institute and Noon Whistle Fund.

EARLY CLOSURE AT 3PM ON MARCH 20TH DUE TO PRIVATE EVENT
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC), this exhibition highlights the Center’s history through Pueblo imagery and perspectives of the past, present, and future. A combination of fifty objects from the IPCC’s Collections and Archives, with an emphasis on Pueblo pottery, illustrates the significance of the Center as a gathering place where Pueblo arts and culture are celebrated by visitors from around the world and, at once, nurtured by Pueblo communities across the generations. Gallery videos, updated throughout the year, will feature interviews with Pueblo artists, scholars, and culture bearers that present insider views of the IPCC. Join us to celebrate the exhibition on March 21 from 5-8pm during our free, public reception. Visit indianpueblo.org for 50th anniversary program schedule updates including an exhibit closing event on February 15, 2027.

Illiterati: Gen X Book Club will meet at FUSION on Sunday, August 2, from 11 AM–1 PM. This month’s book club is on The Fraud by Zadie Smith.

According to The New York Times, Smith's "new novel, 'The Fraud,' is based on a celebrated 19th-century criminal trial, but it keeps one eye focused clearly on today's political populism." According to the Los Angeles Times, "Not only is [the novel] set in 19th century England with a sprawling cast of characters high and low, but Charles Dickens himself makes an appearance, charming everyone except those who envy his success. But there's more to this brilliant new entry in Smith's catalog than a simple literary romp."

The Fraud by Zadie Smith has garnered accolades. It was selected as a New York Times book of the year 2023, a New Yorker magazine 2023 book of the year, and a Washington Post hardcover bestseller in December 2023.

Illiterati: Gen X Book Club is a media-positive book group. Audiobookers and Podcasters are welcome too. Prepare yourself for lively, non-disrespectful discussion. BYO snacks and drinks!

This book club is FREE and open to the public!

Join us for a panel and conversation with four featured authors from the summer issue of El Palacio magazine at FUSION | 708 on Sunday, August 2, at 2 PM.

Editor of El Palacio, Emily Withnall, and summer issue contributors Estevan Rael-Gálvez, Myrriah Gómez, Lazarus Letcher, and Oliver Horn will discuss New Mexico history—from Indigenous enslavement to Black and queer experiences on Route 66 to the loss of communal land grant land to the state’s nuclear legacy—and the nature of the archive. What do archives include and what do they exclude? How do we make sense of the past when our archives are incomplete—and how do we map our way forward? As the U.S. commemorates the 250th anniversary of the founding of the country, and the centennial of Route 66, El Palacio contributors will grapple with these questions and more. An audience Q&A will follow the discussion.

Copies of the Summer 2026 issue of El Palacio, featuring the panelists’ articles, will be available for sale. In addition, Page 1 Books will be selling Myrriah Gómez’s book, Nuclear Nuevo México, and other books that complement the themes in the summer issue.

There are places that invite a different kind of journey, measured not in distance, but in discovery. The Netherwoods is one, a living, breathing sanctuary, continually shaped as much by the people and gatherings shared under its trees as by the vision and lifetime of dance and creations of Romy Keegan.
Join Romy & Douglas for an immersive evening where sound and the spirit of place combine to create an always intimate, one-of-a-kind, memorable experience unique to the season.
Allow the layered tones of crystal singing bowls, gong(s), handmade chimes, and other specialized instruments to guide you towards inward reflection and outward radiance, grace, and presence.
For those who have not joined an event at the Netherwoods, reserve your spot early and discover what sound healing at this special spot can be for you. Arrive in wonder, depart poised!

Written by Melanie Marnich, These Shining Lives is a touching historical drama, based on the true story of four women who worked for the Radium Dial Company, a watch company based out of Ottowa, Illinois, in the 1920s. The play follows Catherine Donohue (performed by Kristine Padilla) and her coworkers as they form friendships and find independence, unaware of the deadly radiation poisoning they are suffering from. It showcases the danger they face in this workplace and chronicles their fight for justice against the company, a landmark case that had lasting impacts on workers' rights and women's rights.

Director Daniel Anaya (who was recently seen on stage in “Of Mice and Men”) has chosen well-known actors to bring this story to the attention of The Adobe audiences – alongside Kristine are Clair Row, Kelly Hughes, Sarah Kesselring, Bailey Hunt, Michael Weppler and Castalia Mayerhofer. He considers this play to be incredibly compelling. “I am particularly drawn to the poetic and powerful nature of the writing, which begins with the Muriel Rukeyser (poet, essayist and political activist) quote: “If one woman were to tell the truth about her life, the world would split open.” While this play does not sugarcoat the difficult events of the past, it manages to tell a tragic story with remarkable poise and grace.”

Performances Fridays and Saturdays at 7.30pm, Sundays at 2pm. Additional performances Thursdays July 23 and August 6 at 7.30pm ($10 tix available). Saturday August 1 at 2.00pm only.
