"Unearthing Futures / Desenterrando Futuros" Opening Celebration + After Party
Advertisement
4:00 pm Community Celebration with Lone Piñon
8:00 pm After Party with DJ Sonny Goodnight
Free and open to all.
Join Harwood Museum of Art for the opening of “Unearthing Futures / Desenterrando Futuros”, an exhibition which explores adobe as a living practice linking art, architecture, and ancestral knowledge across the Americas. Featuring large-scale installations by Gabriel Chaile, rafa esparza, Santino Gonzales, Joanna Keane Lopez, Ronald Rael, and Christine Howard Sandoval, the exhibition considers how earth, water, and fiber—shaped by hand and sustained through communal care—carry tradition and transformation. Extending beyond the Harwood
Museum of Art through partnerships with Fort Garland Museum & Cultural Center
and historic sites across the region, the exhibition traces adobe’s pathways across
landscapes and generations, revealing its role in shaping shared histories
and possible futures.
While these artists hail from regions across the Americas—from Argentina to northern California—the exhibition is grounded in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, where building traditions continue as part of daily life.
Two community-rooted guest curators shape major sections of the exhibition.
Guadalupe Tafoya—archivist of San Francisco de Asís and descendant of
generations of enjarradoras—curates a gallery centered on devotional art and adobe
architecture, honoring parishioners and the annual enjarre as practices of faith and
collective care. Deborah Lujan, an artist and member of Taos Pueblo, curates a
gallery focused on Taos Pueblo as one of the oldest continuously inhabited earthen
architectural sites in the Americas, addressing adobe as lived sovereignty and self representation.
