In conjunction with the museum’s Lowriders, Hoppers and Hot Rods exhibit, writer and cultural activist Denise Chávez takes a look at the celebratory fronterizo lowrider culture in Southern New Mexico with photo documentation by international photographer Daniel Zolinsky. Chávez and Zolinsky will address the differences, similarities, and resonant traditions and customs of southern New Mexico, the sometimes forgotten, always highly-charged world within a world.
Denise Chávez was born, raised and still lives in Las Cruces, New Mexico, 42 miles from the México Border. If she didn’t live in Cruces, she would live in Española, New Mexico, “Low-Rider Capital of the World,” where she once lived and taught at Northern New Mexico Community College. Chávez’s most recent novel, The King and Queen of Comezón, won the International Latino Book Award in Fiction as well as the NM-AZ award in Fiction. Other books include Loving Pedro Infante, Face of An Angel and A Taco Testimony: Meditations on Family, Food and Culture, among others. Daniel Zolinsky was born in Paris, France to Franco/Russian parents and learned to take photographs when he arrived in the U.S. at age ten. He considers himself a “Fricano”—A French Chicano. Zolinsky has exhibited his photos throughout the U.S. and Europe and lives in Las Cruces with his wife, author, Denise Chávez.

Pueblo Pintado
Office of Archaeological Studies
Friends of Archaeology
This will be a long, one-day Saturday field trip, June 25, touring Pueblo I-era sites in the San Juan Basin with Tom Windes, a retired archaeologist from the National Park Service. We will visit two clusters of sites near Pueblo Pintado and near Chaco Canyon. The sites represent the small settlements that are the 9th and early 10th century hamlets and villages that preceded the monumental construction of great houses in Chaco Canyon. These sites are roughly contemporaneous with some of the sites that will be visited on the Dinetah Labyrinth tour earlier in June, but there are significant differences in their appearance.
We have also reserved a group campground in Chaco for the night of June 25. Interested participants are welcome to stay overnight in the campground and join Eric Blinman for an informal tour of downtown Chaco on Sunday morning. Hiking will not be strenuous but high clearance vehicles are recommended and carpooling is highly encouraged.
Trip cost for both days will be $170/FOA members, $190/non-members. Cost for first day only $85/members, $95/non-members. Spaces are limited. Make reservations beginning May 31, 2016 at 7:00 am by calling (505) 982-7799, ext. 6.
NOTE: Those signing up for either of the above field trips should attend Eric Blinman’s P1 Brown Bag talk at noon on Tuesday May 24, or at 7:00PM on Thursday evening May 26, at CNMA. See nmarchaeology.org for details.
