Annual Artist in Residence Exhibition featuring Marie Alarcón
Albuquerque, NM / Harwood Art Center is pleased to present Papi León and Friends by 2026 Artist in Residence, Marie Alarcón. For Papi León and Friends, Artist in Residence Marie Alarcón worked with local artists, through a series of community workshops on the construction of “diasporic deities.”These deities act as placeholders for the diasporic and their lost links to ancestors. The work in this show reflects the process of creating space for these deities in their various forms. Alarcón’s deity, Papi León, is part pirate, part cannibal, and part zombie, an artifact of the three nationalities in Alarcon’s Filipino, Puerto Rican, and Haitian ancestry. Viewers can also watch Alarcón’s Apocalypso, a film made between New Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Featured Artists from the Diasporic Deities Workshop:
Marisol Driovínto, Christina Yovovich, Loki-Anthony Honey and Lena Ilene Weiss.

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC), this exhibition highlights the Center’s history through Pueblo imagery and perspectives of the past, present, and future. A combination of fifty objects from the IPCC’s Collections and Archives, with an emphasis on Pueblo pottery, illustrates the significance of the Center as a gathering place where Pueblo arts and culture are celebrated by visitors from around the world and, at once, nurtured by Pueblo communities across the generations. Gallery videos, updated throughout the year, will feature interviews with Pueblo artists, scholars, and culture bearers that present insider views of the IPCC. Join us to celebrate the exhibition on March 21 from 5-8pm during our free, public reception.

Organized by the School for Advanced Research (SAR) and the Vilcek Foundation, Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery, a unique traveling exhibition featuring over 100 historic and contemporary works in clay, offers a visionary understanding of Pueblo pots as vessels that carry community-based knowledge and personal experience. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC), established by the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico in 1976, welcomes the pottery vessels back to the Southwest as the “returning home” host venue of the exhibition’s four-year national tour. Curated by the Pueblo Pottery Collective, Grounded in Clay opens at the IPCC as the leading program of the Center’s 50th anniversary celebration year. The exhibition and its associated events are generously supported by the First Nations Development Institute and Noon Whistle Fund.

The class is appropriate for all levels with demonstrations and one-to-one assistance. Experience the thrill of the unlimited possibilities with this vibrant medium!

Ballet 5:8 presents La Llorona. La Llorona reimagines the legendary figure through the story of Maria, a young mother experiencing postpartum depression. Rather than a tale of terror, this original ballet becomes a compassionate portrait of love, illness, family, and hope. Blending powerful choreography with an evocative original score, La Llorona invites audiences to see one of Latin America’s most enduring legends through a deeply human lens.

Set in Santa Fe in the early 1900s, the 80-minute ballet replaces horror with a deeply human story of love, illness, family, faith and community. "La Llorona” runs without intermission and welcomes audiences of all ages. Ballet 5:8 will host pre-show conversations will take place before the performance, from 1:30-2:15 p.m., by licensed marriage and family therapist Dr. Amelia Trujillo, of Mountain Crest Counseling. She will provide mental health resources and lead a conversation about postpartum depression before “La Llorona.”

Located inside the National Hispanic Cultural Center, Barkadas restaurant will sell themed La Llorona desserts and drinks from Oct. 14-18.

Performed without intermission, this 80-minute theatrical experience is both emotionally moving and profoundly relevant.
