What does the space history have to do with science fiction? More than you’d think! Among the many exhibitions the New Mexico Museum of Space History offers is one called Sci Fi & Sci Fact: Two Worlds Collide. As Chris Orwoll, executive director of the New Mexico Museum of Space History shares, TV shows and movies like Star Trek and Star Wars were greatly influential to NASA employees. And that’s just one example! On the flip side, contemporary technologies can influence artists, writers, and filmmakers. For Los Alamos native, science fiction novelist, and astrophysicist student, Ness Brown, the connection between art and science is clear: “Truth is stranger than fiction.” MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Ness Brown’s horror sci-fi novel, <a href="https://ness-brown.com/scourge/">The Scourge Between Stars</a> <a href= "https://fanexpohq.com/megaconorlando/">MEGACON</a> <a href= "https://www.comic-con.org/">Comic-Con</a> <a href= "https://www.nmspacemuseum.org/exhibits/the-international-space-hall-of-fame/"> International Space Hall of Fame</a> <a href= "https://roswell-nm.gov/1259/Roswell-Museum">Roswell Museum</a> We’d love to hear from you!

From Exoplanets to Earthly Technology: Exploring Our Fears and Dreams Through Science Fiction with Ness Brown and Chris Orwoll

Museum of International Folk Art curators Patricia Sigala and Chloe Accardi are dedicated to co-collaborating exhibitions alongside community members. For the upcoming exhibition, Between the Lines: Prison Art & Advocacy, this commitment to community feedback and engagement is particularly strong. What began as a small exhibition in the museum’s Gallery of Conscience last year, will be opening as a much larger show on August 9, 2024. Between the Lines: Prison Art & Advocacy will feature a wide range of prison art from across the country and the world. Local collaborations with formerly incarcerated Santa Fe artists and children whose home lives have been impacted by incarceration have been crucial to the process.  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE <a href= "https://podcast.nmculture.org/2023/11/14/listentothelandartatbosqueredondowithdakotamacedaisytrudell-millsandkeyahkeenanhenry/"> EC0501: Listen to the Land: Art at Bosque Redondo with Dakota Mace, Daisy Trudell-Mills, and Kéyah Keenan Henry</a> <a href="https://santafeyouthworks.org/">Santa Fe YouthWorks</a> <a href="https://www.sitesofconscience.org/">Sites of Conscience</a> <a href= "https://www.sitesofconscience.org/en/2018/01/brown-v-board-to-ferguson-toolkit/"> Brown v Board of Education School-to-Prison Pipeline initiative</a> <a href= "https://www.elpalacio.org/2024/03/love-pa-mi-gente-shine-through-me/"> Love Pa’ Mi Gente Shine Through Me</a>, by Jimmy Santiago Baca in the Spring 2024 issue of El Palacio <a href="https://www.instagram.com/granilloart/">John Paul Granillo</a>  <a href= "https://www.sfreporter.com/arts/2018/09/26/back-to-the-barrio-barrio-analco/"> Carlos Cervantes</a> <a href= "https://www.ydr.com/story/archives/2013/05/31/golden-venture-20-years-later-many-lives-remain/74873348/"> Golden Venture</a>  We’d love to hear from you!

Prison Art as an Assertion of Humanity with Museum of International Folk Art Curators Patricia Sigala and Chloe Accardi

For many people who live in New Mexico the nearest library might be three hundred miles away. Luckily, the New Mexico State Library runs two excellent rural library services: Books by Mail and three bookmobiles that serve different regions of the state. If you live 20 minutes outside of the city limits of any city in New Mexico, or if you live within city limits but are homebound, or if you can only read large-print books, you can sign up for Books by Mail. The Books by Mail collection contains more than 30,000 titles, including books in Spanish, audiobooks, eBooks, and more. For schools and small communities who want to browse the shelves or access the internet from the bookmobile’s portable satellite terminal, check out the New Mexico State Library website to find out when and where a bookmobile will be stopping near you. And don’t forget to chat with the bookmobile librarian to find out what reading events and projects are offered during stops in your community! “I care about people first. I care about what's going on in their lives,” says Berdina Nieto, the New Mexico State Library Books by Mail librarian and rural services outreach specialist. “Patrons will call just to get their book order and then tell me what's going on in their world, and then I'll do the same.

Rolling Into Rural Communities: Bookmobiles and Books by Mail Across New Mexico

What do we lose when we don’t know ALL of our histories? Understanding our great, great, great, great grandparents' lives and how they survived, where they settled or traveled, and what languages they spoke – all of these details reveal so much about who we are and how we landed here in this place, at this moment in time. How our ancestors interacted with other people and with the land has had ripple effects on why things are the way they are today. Dr. Gregorio Gonzales (Comanche, Genízaro), the tribal liaison for the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs, works to develop relationships with 23 tribal governments based within New Mexico. DCA divisions interact with as many as 34 American Indian tribal governments, which include tribes with ancestral ties to New Mexico and whose tribal headquarters are located in Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas. Gonzales is uniquely suited to this position due to his impressive knowledge of Indigenous history in the state—including Genízaro history which is still largely unknown in the context of United States history.  Even within New Mexico, groups without any connection to a Genízaro identity are not likely to know this history. And as Gonzales reveals, he didn’t understand the full history and context of his Genízaro identity until he was a young adult. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE We’d love to hear from you!

A History of Genízaro Identity in the Heart of New Mexico with Dr. Gregorio Gonzales

In a large, low-population state like New Mexico, with lots of rural communities, libraries play a vital role in literacy, education, and job skills training—along with the simple joy that comes from learning and being immersed in the numerous worlds that can be found within a book’s pages.  Each of the 130 libraries across New Mexico, including 21 tribal libraries, serves the specific needs of its own community. Many tribal libraries, such as the Santa Clara Pueblo’s library, maintain a community archive of historic photos, interviews, and oral histories that preserve the past and help restore the language.  Also, youth programming plays an important role in helping kids become early readers through story time, summer reading challenges, and special events. Youth programming also provides databases for research, tutoring, and resources for homeschoolers.  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE <a href="https://nmstatelibrary.org/">New Mexico State Library</a> <a href= "https://www.santaclarapueblocommunitylibrary.com/">Santa Clara Pueblo Community Library</a> <a href="https://aspensongkids.org/">Aspen Song Kids</a> <a href="https://www.lasvegasnm.gov/about-9">Carnegie Library in Las Vegas</a> We’d love to hear from you!
