These curators will attempt to identify and explain any artifact or historic object presented to them. They prefer to work with objects from the Southwest but are willing to take a look at anything that is brought in. If they can not identify an object an attempt will be made to find someone who can. Sometimes\, the discussion among the curators may become as much or more informative than the identification of the artifact  \nThe event is always FREE and open to the public. \nFederal and State regulations prohibit the curators from appraising any artifact. Determining the Value of a Work of Art: The museum neither appraises or authenticates works of art.

On Sunday\, Nov. 13\, at 2 pm\, the History Museum will honor the Spanish soldiers of the Santa Fe Presidio who helped the American colonies win their independence. \nThe Santa Fe Chapter of the New Mexico Society of the Sons of the American Revolution will unveil a new plaque for the Palace of the Governors commemorating those soldiers’ contributions. And former Palace of the Governors Director Tom Chavez will speak on “Spain’s Aid in the Independence of the United States.” \nSpanish dignitaries have been invited to join this Veteran’s Day event\, which will be followed by a reception. \nThe international foment of the late 18th century pitting Britain against Spain in Europe\, also made its way across the ocean and up El Camino Real. As early as 1776\, Spain covertly supported the colonies with money\, supplies and logistical aid. After trying to negotiate a peace that included colonial independence\, Spain declared war on Great Britain in 1779\, and its soldiers and sailors became involved in that effort through 1783. With the additional help of France\, Spain and the colonies turned the tide of the war. \nBy virtue of their service to the Spanish army\, the soldiers of the Santa Fe Presidio (anchored by the Palace of the Governors) helped achieve that priority. Descendants of those soldiers still live in Santa Fe and across New Mexico. With help from the Sons of the American Revolution\, genealogist Henrietta Christmas has compiled a list of those soldiers on behalf of the museum. \nMembers of the Sons of the American Revolution in period garb will participate in the event\, which is free and open to the public.

Lectures are held in the John Gaw Meem Room. Enter through the museum's Washington Avenue entrance. Free. \nIn a December 2008 story for the New Mexico Jewish Historical Society (http://www.nmjhs.org/dec-08.pdf)\, Fried explored the life and times of Yetta Goldsmith Kohn\, a German-Jewish woman who settled in Las Vegas\, N.M.\, in the 1860s – after traveling from Bavaria as a teenager\, settling first in Leavenworth\, Kansas\, then Cherry Creek\, Colorado. Widowed in 1878\, she first took over her husband's business\, then homesteaded near present-day Conchas Dam\, where she built a cattle empire that continues today.  \nShe is one of the historic New Mexico women memorialized on the state's highway markers. \nFried came to New Mexico in 1992 with a wide-ranging academic background n art history\, education\, cognitive psychology\, urban design\, drama therapy\, and neurolinguistic programming. In 2005\, she began  mastering the skills of book production in order to craft life-story and family history books. Today she researches\, writes\, designs\, and produces personal memoirs in art-book format. Her research into Kohn is part of a seven-family history that she is preparing for the Bidegain family of Tucumcari.

Tickets are $15. A private reception following is $50. Tickets are available at www.ticketssantafe.org or (505) 988-1234. \nDownload a high-resolution image of Jackson and of pages from The Saint John's Bible by clicking on "Go to related images" at the bottom of this page. \nIlluminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible\, on exhibit at the New Mexico History Museum through April 7\, represents Jackson’s crowning achievement—the fulfillment of a goal he began nurturing as a young boy. Jackson oversaw a team of scribes who handwrote and illuminated every page of the Bible on behalf of the Benedictine monks at Saint John’s University in Collegeville\, Minn. The project was completed this fall; after the History Museum’s exhibition of pages from the Wisdom Books and Prophets volumes of the work\, the pages will be bound and placed in the care of the monastery. \nJackson began developing sketches that led to the project while at a Ghost Ranch workshop in northern New Mexico. In 1996\, he took to Saint John’s Abbey an idea about collaborating on a millennium-worthy project\, which was officially commissioned in 1998. By March 8\, 2000\, Jackson was able to pen the project’s first words on a page of vellum: “In the beginning was the Word\, and the Word was with God\, the Word was God …” On May 9\, 2011\, he wrote the final word\, “Amen.” The pages were publicly unveiled in September. \n“Now that I have inscribed the final Amen\,” Jackson said in a prepared statement for the event\, “I realise that over the long years of this task\, a boyhood dream\, I have gradually absorbed an enduring conviction of the pin-sharp relevance of these ancient Biblical Texts to the past\, present and the future of our personal and public life and experience. These texts have a life of their own and their life is a mirror of the human spirit and experience.” \nJackson created a script specifically for the project that was then learned by each of the scribes who worked on it. Mixing techniques used in creating ancient illuminated manuscripts with the modern technology of computers to plan the layout\, the work reveals a modern interpretation of biblical traditions. Viewers will spy chain-link fencing\, DNA models\, people of many races\, and imagery from a variety of faiths. \nAt the age of 20\, Jackson was appointed a visiting lecturer at the Camberwell College of Art in London. Within six years\, he was appointed a scribe to the Crown Office at the House of Lords. As a scribe to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II\, he was responsible for the creation of official state documents and\, in 1985\, was decorated by the Queen with the Medal of The Royal Victorian Order\, which is awarded for personal service to the sovereign. Jackson is an elected fellow and past chairman of the Society of Scribes and Illuminators and\, in 1997\, was named master of the 600-year-old Guild of Scriveners of the city of London. He is the author of The Story of Writing and has trained and encouraged many of America’s top calligraphers. \nIn Monmouth\, Wales\, Donald and Mabel Jackson live in a converted village hall—a rambling building\, beautiful against the hills that surround it. Across a small road\, the “schoolroom\,” a converted mechanic’s shed\, was renovated into a scriptorium\, full of natural light. From there\, Jackson oversaw The Saint John’s Bible with a team of skilled scribes\, some who worked there and others who took pages of vellum back to their own studios. \nTheir finished project is the first handcrafted Bible commissioned by a Benedictine abbey in more than 500 years. Handwritten and illuminated on calfskin vellum using quills\, hand-ground pigments\, natural inks\, and gold-leaf gild\, the Bible contains more than 160 illuminations and countless text treatments and marginalia in seven distinct books: Pentateuch\, Historical Books\, Psalms\, Wisdom Books\, Prophets\, Gospels and Acts\, and Letters and Revelation.

Her lecture\, “Lay Folk and the Psalms: Learning by the Book\,” part of the Illuminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible and Contemplative Landscape lecture series\, takes place on Sunday\, Nov. 6\, at 2 pm\, in the History Museum Auditorium. The event is free with admission; Sundays are free to NM residents. \nIn the generations before publishing houses and\, later\, e-books made literature of all kinds readily available\, even people who couldn’t afford a deluxe Book of Hours were able to frame their spiritual experience in terms of the psalms of David. Neel will focus on examples of ordinary people from the ninth\, 12th\, and 15th centuries\, emphasizing the impact that handwritten books like The Saint John’s Bible had on people then and now. \nThe Saint John’s Bible represents the first handwritten and illuminated Bible commissioned by Benedictine monks in more than 500 years. It was completed just this September\, and pages of it will be on exhibit at the History Museum through April 7. \nThe work of the Benedictine predecessors of the monks of Saint John's Abbey\, who commissioned the work\, extended far beyond monastic walls and influenced European religious culture throughout the medieval millennium.  Beautifully rendered scriptural text shaped European culture during the Reformation and colonialism of the 16th century\, spreading so far as the North American fringes of the Catholic world. \nNeel is a professor of history at Colorado College whose publications include Medieval Families: Perspectives on Marriage\, Household\, and Children (University of Toronto Press\, 2004).

Having studied biology\, Berman’s images reveal the rugged beauty of the land\, but also the evolution of that eco-system. \nDavid Taylor’s large scale color photographs are from an on-going project to locate and document all 276 of the monuments that delineate the international border between the United State and Mexico. \nConnie Samaras documents the building of Spaceport America in southern New Mexico. Her pictures reveal the history of the land and speculation about the future. \nAll three photographers bring into focus a landscape that exists within a frame that that is biological\, political and hypothetical. \nMichael Berman and David Taylor are both Guggeheim Foundation Fellows\, and Connie Samaras is a full professor at the University of California\, Irvine.  \n  \nMedia Contacts: \nMerry Scully\, Governor’s Gallery Curator \nmerry.scully@state.nm.us \n505-476-2289 \n  \nSteve Cantrell\, PR Manager \n505-476-1144 \nsteve.cantrell@state.nm.us \n  \n### \n  \nThe New Mexico Museum of Art is a division of the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs.

Its leap into what was then the cutting edge of technology sounded a death knell for a form of the book still cherished today: the handwritten\, illuminated Bible. \nSome 550 years later\, the senior scribe to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s Crown Office at the House of Lords approached the Benedictine monks of Saint John’s Abbey and University in Collegeville\, Minn.\, with a proposal. \nSince childhood\, Donald Jackson had dreamed of creating a handwritten and illuminated Bible in the pre-Gutenberg style. In the early 1990s\, while attending a retreat at New Mexico’s Ghost Ranch\, he sketched out a concept piece\, Christ in the Desert\, expanding on that dream. After showing it to the monks in 1995\, he received the go-ahead to create what is now known as The Saint John’s Bible – an entire handwritten Bible with illumination\, calligraphy\, the finest materials\, and the staying power of 2\,000 years. \nIn 2000\, Jackson and a crew of artists and calligraphers began the first of 1\,150 vellum pages. This fall\, the project achieved completion\, when Jackson wrote the word “Amen” on the final page of the Book of Revelation. Before being bound into volumes and placed on permanent exhibition at Saint John’s Abbey\, 44 pages from two of its seven volumes – Prophets and Wisdom Books – will be exhibited at the New Mexico History Museum. \nDownload high-resolution images from the exhibition by clicking on “Go to related images” at the bottom of this page. \nIlluminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible will be on display in the museum’s second-floor Albert and Ethel Herzstein Gallery from Oct. 23 through December 30\, 2012.  The exhibit shares its space and spirit with Contemplative Landscape\, an array of black-and-white photographs celebrating the ties between landscape\, art\, architecture and sacred rituals in the Land of Enchantment. \nAlso part of the exhibitions: \nA page from the 550-year-old Gutenberg Bible.Early editions of the King James Bible\, this year celebrating its 400th anniversary. \n \nThe Letter\, the Word & the Book\, a small exhibit of books and lettering in the Mezzanine Gallery from Nov. 18\, 2011\, to April 15\, 2012. \nFree lectures\, performances and calligraphy workshops. \nAn evening with Donald Jackson\, artistic director of The Saint John’s Bible and senior scribe to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s Crown Office at the House of Lords. \n“I consider this to be the artistic equivalent of the Apollo moon mission\,” said Tom Leech\, curator of the Palace Press. ”The Saint John’s Bible sets a standard of excellence that will never again be approached in our lifetimes. Combined with Contemplative Landscape\, it offers visitors an opportunity to witness a historic burst of creativity and craftsmanship\, and to reflect on their own spirituality\, whatever form that may take.” \nProphets\, completed in April 2005\, includes 232 pages and 20 illuminations from the books of Isaiah\, Jeremiah\, Ezekiel\, Daniel\, Amos and Zechariah. Illuminated pages in the History Museum’s exhibition will include Vision of Isaiah\, Messianic Predictions\, Suffering Servant\, Vision at Chebar\, Valley of the Dry Bones\, Vision of the New Temple\, Vision of the Son of Man\, Demands of Social Justice\, and Rejoice. \nWisdom Books\, completed in July 2006\, includes 136 pages and 24 illuminations from the books of Job\, Proverbs\, Ecclesiastes\, Song of Solomon\, and Sirach. Illuminated pages in the History Museum’s exhibition will include the Job Frontispiece\, Wisdom Woman\, Garden of Desire\, Seven Pillars of Wisdom\, and Creation\, Covenant\, Shekinah\, Kingdom. \nIn commissioning the project\, the monks of Saint John’s revived a medieval tradition in which monasteries preserved knowledge and culture for the sake of the greater community. The Saint John’s Bible represents their commitment to the study of scripture and to educational\, artistic and spiritual pursuits. \nCrafted with turkey\, goose and swan quills\, century-old handmade inks\, hand-ground pigments\, and gold and silver leaf gild on calfskin vellum\, The Saint John’s Bible will collectively weigh over 350 pounds and measure roughly 2’ tall by 3’ wide when open. Guided by a combination of artistic skill and cutting-edge computer-assisted layouts\, the project takes its place among the milestones of sacred literature.  \n“I hope some of the emotion that we have collectively managed to put into the Bible will touch the hearts and emotions of those people who look at what we put onto the pages\,” said Jackson\, whose Ghost Ranch-era painting will be shown for the first time in this exhibit. \n Visitors will find themselves drawn into reading the words of the text rather than skimming past them. Observant readers will note a variety of details: The illuminated letters starting each chapter are individually unique – a goal that proved a challenge when devising decorative T’s\, given how often the word “the” begins a sentence in the English language. Artistic and clever techniques were also employed by the scribes and artists to deal with “errata” – those perfectly human mistakes that crop up in even the most divine texts. In addition\, each of those scribes had to learn a calligraphic script specially designed by Jackson for the project. \nAlong with members of the monastic community of Saint John’s Abbey\, Episcopalian\, Protestant and Jewish advisers helped form the vision of The Saint John’s Bible\, which blends scientific advancements and anthropological understandings with the traditional text of the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. Contemporary aspects include its reflections of science\, technology and space; its multicultural and interreligious imagery; and its depiction of women. Advanced technologies have also been used to create a digital template of the Bible. \n“It’s the one thing we’ll probably be remembered for 500 years from now\,” said Eric Hollas OSB\, a monk of Saint John’ Abbey and associate director of arts and culture at Saint John’s University. “The buildings will go. Most of the buildings that all of us see today are going to be gone 500 years from now. And oddly enough\, this one piece of human artistic achievement will probably still be here.” \n(More information about The Saint John’s Bible is available on The Saint John’s Bible web site; http://www.saintjohnsbible.org/.) \nIlluminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible and Contemplative Landscape are generously supported by the New Mexico Humanities Council\, the Scanlon Family Foundation\, and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. \n \nLectures\, workshops and performances for Illuminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible and Contemplative Landscape will be held in the History Museum Auditorium and are free with admission unless otherwise noted.

During the year he spent living with the Benedictine monks\, they allowed him to document their daily activities and rituals\, both contemplative and secular. \nO’Brien’s work from that era now forms the heart of a new exhibition at the New Mexico History Museum\, Contemplative Landscape\, Oct. 23\, 2011\, through Dec. 30\, 2012\, exploring how photographers see the state’s meditative topography: the land\, art\, architecture\, and people who build and populate the sacred. \nDownload high-resolution images from the exhibit by clicking on “Go to related images” at the bottom of this page. \nDrawing on the extensive holdings of the Photo Archives\, with the participation of contemporary photographers\, Contemplative Landscape’s black-and-white photographs explore the emotional and ceremonial practices of people as varied as Buddhists\, Catholics\, Protestants\, Jews\, and Sikhs\, to name just a few of the diverse faith-based communities who call New Mexico home. \nThroughout our time\, creativity and spirituality have blended in ways as monumental and communal as the world’s great cathedrals and as small and personal as a roadside descanso marking another person’s passage from the earth. \n“The idea is to think about the spiritual\, however it manifests for the viewer personally\,” said Mary Anne Redding\, curator of the Photo Archives. “What is considered sacred or contemplative varies. What these places have in common is that they draw people to them either in the built or natural environment. Each is infused with an energy that collects over time as people come together or seek enlightenment. New Mexico encompasses and encourages radically different religious practices. Each of these communities adds a different perspective to the meaning of religion and contributes their practices to the diversity of spiritual belief.” \nContemplative Landscape shares its space and spirit with Illuminating the Word: Saint John’s Bible (Oct. 23\, 2011\, through December 30\, 2012) in the museum’s second-floor Albert and Ethel Herzstein Gallery. As part of the exhibition design\, visitors will be invited to enter a contemplative area to pray\, meditate or simply sit in silence – opportunities too often lacking in the 21st-century world. \nIn addition to O’Brien\, photographers represented in the exhibit include: \nWyatt Davis\, Tyler Dingee\, Ferenz Fedor\, Miguel Gander\, Laura Gilpin\, Kirk Gittings\, Cary Herz\, Debora Hunter\, William Henry Jackson\, Ernest Knee\, Paul Logsdon\, Elliott McDowell\, Teresa Neptune\, Jesse L. Nusbaum\, T. Harmon Parkhurst\, Edward Ranney\, David Robin\, Janet Russek\, Sharon Stewart\, Don J. Usner\, Adam Clark Vroman\, Nancy Hunter Warren\, George Ben Wittick. \nThe photographers have used their work to explore and renew their faith\, even challenge their own and others’ beliefs. The result is an exhibit that marries an adobe morada abandoned by the Penitentes to processions of robe-clad monks carrying out the Stations of the Cross in desert canyons. For so many of these photographers\, their images illuminate their personal quests. \nAward-winning photographer Cary Herz\, who died in 2008\, was working on a project in the Las Vegas\, N.M.\, Jewish Cemetery in 1985 when someone told her of other Jews in New Mexico – people who had practiced their faith in secret. As Herz began investigating\, she found slides of grave markers that appeared to contain Jewish symbols\, a discovery that led her to cover 10\,000 miles documenting the lives of people in Texas\, New Mexico\, Colorado and Arizona\, the descendents of a secret history that has its roots in the Spanish and Portugese Inquisitions. \nAnother example is photographer Kirk Gittings\, who was hired by New Mexico magazine to photograph the rapidly deteriorating historic churches of northern New Mexico. Through that work\, he and writer Michael Miller won a National Endowment for the Arts grant that for four years allowed Gittings to immerse himself in Catholic spirituality. Given the keys to a church to photograph at his leisure\, he would sit in the pews\, breathe the scent of candlewax and reconnect with the saints. A few years later\, he converted to Catholicism. \nOf his own work\, Edward Ranney says: “The petroglyphs associated with the ancient Pueblo sites in New Mexico’s Galisteo Basin give us an entry to the imaginative and religious world-view of these early Pueblo people. In addition\, as Lucy Lippard has observed\, they `focus space\,’ and make visible the Pueblo people’s concerns and beliefs\, and their relationship with their gods.” \nAnd\, says Teresa Neptune: “My camera serves as a tool for my own awareness; with it I challenge myself to constantly pay more attention and see the world in a more creative way. Every landscape\, every street has the potential to be seen contemplatively. What a joy to share and celebrate this way of seeing in “Contemplative Landscape.” \nThe Photo Archives at the Palace of the Governors recently acquired 20 of O’Brien’s images from his Monastery of Christ in the Desert portfolio. O’Brien’s experiences in the monastery are the subject of his new book with writer Christopher Merrill\, Light in the Desert: Photographs from the Monastery of Christ in the Desert (Museum of New Mexico Press)\, debuting with the exhibition. \nA New York City native\, O’Brien began his photography career in 1973 at the Santa Fe New Mexican\, the Santa Fe Reporter and the Albuquerque Journal North. His work has appeared in national and international publications\, including Life magazine\, Time\, Newsweek\, and the New York Times Sunday Magazine. He has also worked with the Ford Foundation on a land-use project on Zuni Pueblo\, as well as a water-works project in the colonias along the Texas border for the Pew Foundation. \nAmong the places that have exhibited his work: the Museum of Our National Heritage\, Massachusetts; the Southeast Museum of Photography\, Florida; the Adham Center of Photography\, Cairo\, Egypt; The Newseum in New York and the Sag Harbor Picture Gallery. In 1990\, O’Brien was awarded the first Eliot Porter Foundation Grant for his work in Afghanistan. He has taught documentary photography and was director of the Documentary Studies Program at the Santa University of Art and Design (formerly the College of Santa Fe)\, where he is on the faculty at the Narion Center of Photographic Arts.   \nIn 1989\, while on assignment for Life magazine\, he was taken prisoner in Afghanistan for six weeks\, an experience that led to his 1994-95 sojourn at Christ in the Desert as a practicing member of the contemplative community. \n \n“You sit in that chapel and the light dances throughout the day\,” O’Brien said. “It can go from just plain to pure beauty. I began to look at things a little differently. I began to be more aware of what it was that I was looking at and really taking my time. And the willingness to let things go.” \nFounded in the town of Abiquiu in 1964\, the Monastery of Christ in the Desert follows the Benedictine life with no external apostolates. It maintains a guesthouse for private retreats where men and women can share the Divine Office and Mass in the Abbey Church with the monks. Set in the Chama Canyon\, about 75 miles north of Santa Fe\, the monastery is surrounded by miles of wilderness\, assuring solitude and quiet. \nIlluminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible and Contemplative Landscape are generously supported by the New Mexico Humanities Council\, the Scanlan Family Foundation\, and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. \n \nLectures\, workshops and performances for Illuminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible and Contemplative Landscape will be held in the History Museum Auditorium and are free with admission unless otherwise noted.

These curators will attempt to identify and explain any artifact or historic object presented to them. They prefer to work with objects from the Southwest but are willing to take a look at anything that is brought in. If they can not identify an object an attempt will be made to find someone who can. Sometimes\, the discussion among the curators may become as much or more informative than the identification of the artifact  \nThe event is always FREE and open to the public. \nFederal and State regulations prohibit the curators from appraising any artifact.

At 6 pm on Tuesday\, Oct. 18\, Barbara Mundy will talk about that effort in “Mapping the New World for the Spanish Kings: The 16th-Century Project of the Relaciones Geográficas." The event is free in the museum auditorium. \nMundy wrote The Mapping of New Spain: Indigenous Cartography and the Maps of the Relaciones Geograficas\, which was awarded the Nebenzahl Prize in the History of Cartography in 1996. The book offered an artistic interpretation of the maps but placed them in a larger historical context – one that illuminated both the Amerindian (Aztec\, Mixtec\, and Zapotec) and Spanish traditions while tracing how colonization reshaped their respective world views. \nMundy is a professor in the Department of Art History and Music at Fordham University\, where she specializes in Latin American art of the colonial period. \nLast year\, the History Museum’s Fray Angélico Chávez History Library featured books\, prints and maps from its John Bourne Collection of Meso-Americana\, the Rare Books Collection\, and the Map Collection\, for the exhibition Imagining Mexico: From the Aztec Empire to Colonial New Spain. An electronic version of the exhibit is at this link. Often created for people who would never cross the Atlantic but live their adventures vicariously\, the works formed perceptions – fictitious at times – of the land of Cortés\, Moctezuma\, amazing temples and important battles. \nDownload high-resolution images from Imagining Mexico by clicking on "Go to related images" at the bottom of this page.

New Mexico has the longest and most varied traditions of such public space in the United States – from The Plazas of New Mexico (Trinity University Press\, 2011). \nPueblo plazas\, Spanish plazas and Anglo courthouse squares dot nearly every town in New Mexico. Learn more about these community gathering sites – and the New Urbanist call to revitalize them – at 2 pm on Sunday\, Oct. 16\, when architectural historian Chris Wilson\, photographer Miguel Gandert\, and architect/urbanist José Zelaya discuss and sign their new book\, The Plazas of New Mexico. The event is free with admission; Sundays are free to NM residents. \nThrough archival photographs and Gandert’s modern-day images\, the book depicts an array of plazas ranging from Acoma\, Taos\, Las Vegas and Santa Fe to Albuquerque\, Socorro\, Portales and Mesilla. Along with architect and urban designer Stefanos Polyzoides\, a founder of the Congress for the New Urbanism\, the authors and other contributors document the design of these places and the rich heritage of community celebrations that help sustain them. \nNew Mexico's plazas\, like urban spaces everywhere\, are gaining renewed attention from the Smart Growth movement\, urban revitalization and intensified historic preservation. Detailing the success of restoration projects\, the book shows ways to encourage heritage tourism to improve local quality of life and community sustainability. The Plazas of New Mexico resulted from a multi-year research project involving 50 students\, a half dozen faculty members\, and outside experts working through the Historic Preservation and Regionalism program at the University of New Mexico's School of Architecture and Planning\, which Wilson directs. \nWilson is also the JB Jackson chair of Cultural Landscape Studies at UNM. Known for his award-winning books The Myth of Santa Fe: Creating a Modern Regional Tradition and Facing Southwest: The Life and Houses of John Gaw Meem\, his current focus is on the role of the reurbanization of the U.S. as a central sustainability strategy. \nMiguel Gandert\, an award-winning fine-art and documentary photographer and filmmaker\, is a distinguished professor in UNM’s Communication and Journalism School. His recent work explores the contrast between the Hispanic life in Spain\, Latin America\, Old and New Mexico. He is working with Dr. Arturo Madrid on a Hispano Presbyterian memoir of New Mexico and with Enrique Lamadrid and Catherine Kurland on an ethnographic project on Mariachi Plaza in Los Angeles\, as well as a film with Charles Briggs and the Warao Indians of Venezuela on indigenous health care inequities. \nHonduran architect and urbanist José Zelaya has designed a broad variety of architectural and town-planning projects in the private and public sectors. He is a lecturer of town design in UNM’s School of Architecture and regularly contributes to master-plan designs of small cities\, city centers\, and downtown redevelopments. He is the founder and principal of JMZ arquitectos\, a New Mexico architectural and urban design practice that works closely with communities to respond to their desires for good design\, public space and community revitalization. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/1199-the-plazas-of-new-mexico-lecture-and-book-signing/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/1199_thumb.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marlon Magdalena":MAILTO:marlon.magdalena GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111016 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111031 DTSTAMP:20260617T052251 CREATED:20111014T011849Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175526Z UID:10002220-1318723200-1320019199@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:New Mexico Museum of Art Supports Local Food Drive October 16\, World Food Day DESCRIPTION:To support World Food Day\, the New Mexico Museum of Art will have a food barrel in the lobby of the museum from October 16 through October 30\, 2011 to collect non-perishable items.
