    Connecting People Through Time - Makowa: The Worlds Above Us with Misha Pipe and Kaela Waldstein

    For as long as humans have been on this earth, we have looked to the cosmos for information and direction. The Indigenous people of North America used the skies to make sense of their environments and to guide them in planting crops, building villages, and conducting ceremonies. The new exhibition at the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, Makowa: The Worlds Above Us, showcases a wide range of art, photographs, videos, and more to center the wisdom and longevity of Native astronomy and to remind us that we are all interconnected. On this episode of Encounter Culture, guest consultants for the Makowa exhibition, Misha Pipe and Kaela Waldstein, join host Emily Withnall in the studio to talk about all of this and more. Mentioned in this Episode: Makowa: The Worlds Above Us exhibition at the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture "Symphonies in the Skies": article about Makowa in Summer 2025 issue of El Palacio "Star Parties, Rim Blown Flutes, and Pueblo History at Jemez Historic Site with Marlon Magdalena," Encounter Culture podcast episode Lowell Observatory Jemez Historic Site (and summer Star Party events) We'd love to hear from you!

  2. Uplifting Cultural Knowledge with Navajo Picture Book Author Daniel Vandever

    Uplifting Cultural Knowledge with Navajo Picture Book Author Daniel Vandever

    On the surface, Diné author Daniel Vandever's picture books might appear to be straightforward stories, but the messages about the power of imagination and adventure in his books are imbued with layers of meaning. In his book Fall in Line, Holden!, a little boy breaks free from the constraints of rules and discipline by using his imagination. On a deeper level, the book speaks to the history of Indian Boarding Schools in pushing cultural assimilation. Likewise, in his wordless picture book Herizon, a girl goes on a magic scarf ride to find her lost sheep. This book is imbued with symbolism about the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) epidemic, as well as cultural references to the Navajo Nation. Herizon was nominated to represent New Mexico at the 2024 National Book Festival.

    Time Travel: From Giant Millipedes to Modern Landscapes with New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science

    A long, long time ago, the region that is now New Mexico was part of a giant land mass, and it was located on the equator. The climate was warm and tropical and much of the present-day state was covered in shallow seas. This was long before humans or even dinosaurs existed—252 to 541 million years ago.  The New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science has recently opened a new permanent exhibition, The Bradbury Stamm Construction Hall of Ancient Life, that covers the vast geologic history of ancient life in the state. Piecing together the story of ancient life in New Mexico can read like a detective story, and Matt Celeskey, Curator of Exhibits, and Spencer Lucas, Curator of Paleontology, help us unravel it.  Mentioned in this Episode: New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science The Bradbury Stamm Construction Hall of Ancient Life Before the Famous Fossils: Ancient Life in the Paleozoic Era in New Mexico article in Spring 2025 issue of El Palacio Video walkthrough of exhibition in its final stages of construction Gordodon reptile fossil found near Alamogordo Eoscansor tree-climbing reptile fossil found near Chama *** We'd love to hear from you!

    La Virgen de Guadalupe: Photographing a Cultural Icon with Delilah Montoya and Katie Doyle

    The Virgin of Guadalupe is a cultural icon with deep roots in Mexican and Chicano communities across the United States and Mexico, among other places. Artists in New Mexico often reference Guadalupe in their work—including Chicana artist Delilah Montoya.  A mixed-media piece, "La Guadalupana," by Montoya features a large photograph of the Virgin of Guadalupe as tattooed on the back of an incarcerated man. It is one of the many works of art on display at New Mexico Museum of Art's Vladem Contemporary as a part of their "identity" theme in Off-Center. Katie Doyle, assistant curator at the New Mexico Museum of Art, says Montoya's work fits in with Vladem's exhibition because it tells one of many essential stories about the cultural and historical issues that have continued to affect people in New Mexico.  Mentioned in this Episode:  Gloria Anzaldúa on la Virgen de Guadalupe Off-Center: New Mexico Art, 1970-2000 at New Mexico Museum of Art's Vladem Contemporary La Guadalupana by Delilah Montoya Chicano Awareness Center in Omaha, Nebraska Civil Rights Movement in Omaha, Nebraska National Geographic article about DNA and human ancestry *** We'd love to hear from you!
