Nicholas Hererra, Pussy Riot, Godfrey Reggio
New Mexico “santero” Nicholas Herrera weaves contemporary storytelling with traditional folk art.
“The thing about folk art is it’s something from the soul, it’s nothing you read in a book. It’s something you live, something that lives in you, that’s what folk art is all about.”
PUSSY RIOT
The Russian punk band and art collective Pussy Riot stopped in Albuquerque on their revolution tour. Maria “Masha” Alyokhina takes a stand against war, corruption, and the suppression of freedom.
“To change something, to overcome things such as nationalism, sexism or racism we should be together. It’s not like some symbol or seer will come and help everybody. It doesn’t work like that. Only together can we change everything.”
GODFREY REGGIO
Legendary filmmaker Godfrey Reggio shares the vision behind his films and insights into his new film, “The Holy See.”
“We’re blinded; we aren’t seeing the world we live in. Art can help us re-see that world.”
