Pueblo Communities across the Threshold of Spanish Colonization: Examples of Resiliency

Please join Prter Swentzell, Assistant Professor and Chair of Indigenous Liberal Studies, Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), as he presents at our June Friends of History lecture series event.

This presentation focuses on the Pueblo nations; in particular, the Tewa-speaking Pueblo communities of northern New Mexico. Pueblo peoples have managed to find creative ways to survive and thrive as sedentary agriculturalists for thousands of years in the high desert environment of the southwestern United States.

Through the impositions of various waves of colonialism, Pueblo people have relied on their axiologies to maintain strong linguistic and cultural traditions in the communities they have lived in for centuries.

Free auditorium event with limited seating-bottled water only please

Suggested donations:$10.00 per person. Donation box will be provided near the entrance to the auditorium. Donations can also be made on an annual basis by becoming a Friends of History member by calling the Museum of New Mexico Foundation, 505.982.6366 ext. 100

"Blooks: The Art of Books That Aren’t"
New Mexico History Museum
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Please join us for a particularly fun and engaging talk by Mindell Dubansky, author of "Blooks: The Art of Books That Aren’t."

Ms. Dubansky, who is head of Book Conservation at the Thomas J. Watson Library of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will speak on her collection (as featured on the CBS Sunday Morning show and in The New York Times) of objects that are made to look like books but serve other purposes, sometimes practical, sometimes puzzling, and often humorous.

Ms. Dubansky’s talk coincides with a research trip to New Mexico for the Met’s Paper Legacy Project. She has been conducting interviews and making studio visits to a number of New Mexico artists who work in the field of decorative paper. New Mexico plays a significant role in the spread of this artistic movement. The evening’s program is sponsored by the Palace Press and the Santa Fe Book Arts Group. 

To summarize the rationale behind the project, she says “The opportunity to curate a contemporary American decorative paper exhibit will provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to educate and inspire the public, the artistic community and our bookish peers, by introducing them to the life’s work of a unique, influential, culturally vulnerable and relatively unknown cadre of book and paper arts heroes.” 

Fifty years of American Decorative Papermaking from The Metropolitan Museum of Art will showcase the Paper Legacy Project and will open at the Grolier Club, New York’s renowned “temple of the book” in 2022.

Free Auditorium event-bottled water only please
