Curated by the Indigenous Design + Planning Institute at The University of New Mexico, “Restorying Our HeartPlaces: Contemporary Pueblo Architecture” showcases a near-present history of the architectural sovereignty that emerged after the 1975 Indian Self-Determination Act. This exhibition focuses on the work of Pueblo architects while representing design concepts from regional ancestral sites that continue to influence 20th and 21st century Pueblo architecture. It will be on view in the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center’s South Gallery from March 25 through December 7, 2025

Free for museum members, or with admission.

“Sentient Structures: The Art of Skye Tafoya + SABA,” on view through November 2, 2025, showcases the work of two artists creating architecturally-inspired expressions in materials that respond to the senses. Skye Tafoya (Eastern Band Cherokee/Santa Clara Pueblo) weaves paper structures and embeds knowledge in them through her printmaking processes. SABA (Diné/Jemez Pueblo) makes paintings and prints that anchor Pueblo architecture as evolving sites of home. This exhibition offers innovative approaches to printmaking, painting, and book arts and blurs the lines between two and three-dimensional mediums.

Free for museum members, or with admission.

Arrowsoul Art Collective’s mural installation fuses concepts of the beginning, present, and future of Indigenous pictographic arts. Based in the Southwest region, Arrowsoul Art Collective creates graffiti walls and mural paintings inspired by the evolving meanings of “Future Old School” and “Indigenous Freeways.” The artists create new visions of the Southwest landscape through blending letter structures, illustrative architecture, and textured palettes of places of home. Arrowsoul Art Collective’s projects reunite communities along the Rio Grande through creative participation. Located in the Art Through Struggle Gallery, their newest mural will be on display through June 28, 2026.

Shared.Futures is an ArtScience collaborative, bringing together local scientists and artists to co-create work that imagines possible futures based in ongoing scientific research. This collaborative was formed in 2022 under an NSF-funded grant called the Intermountain West Transformation Network (Award # 2115169), which supports the growth of the Shared.Futures program, participants, and its organizers. The 2022 inaugural event held at the Explora Children’s Science Museum marked the beginning of a collaborative effort towards bringing to life an annual exhibition of interactive ArtScience with Explora partners. Since its inception, the program has evolved into an annual spring fellowship program that mentors five pairs of Artists and Scientists teams through a four-to-five-month workshop. During this transformative experience, participants are guided to collaborate and learn across disciplinary boundaries, fostering the creation of work that envisions pathways toward more sustainable and resilient futures.

This exhibition showcases the final work that has emerged from the Shared.Futures program (2022-2025) and celebrates the hard work from the organizing team who work diligently from behind the scenes to bring each event to life. Each piece in this collection can be seen as its own window looking into the future, giving us glimpses of possible pathways moving forward through an ArtScience lens. Alongside this, the exhibit presents a documentary series of interviews which present the process behind the work created by the participating teams. Then a time capsule for each year is carefully curated to showcase the program’s growth and key milestones that brought each event to life. Ultimately, this exhibition is a celebration of the program’s growth from a simple idea of collaborating across art and science to an annual program that builds intentional capacity for collaborating across disciplinary boundaries and imagining solutions towards our collective future.
