Claire Noonan, environmental science teacher at Santa Fe High School, gets her classroom ready for the year. “This last school year was the hardest ever,” Noonan says.

For some students and teachers, the 2021-22 academic year was “the hardest school year ever.” So says Claire Noonan, who teaches environmen tal science at Santa Fe High School and has two kids entering second and fourth grade, respectively.She,herstudents and her own children were exhausted, struggling to navigate hy brid learning and uncertainty—so she was relieved when Santa Fe Public Schools made the decision to decline state funds to add 10 extra days to the academic calendar for the school year that began this week. The money represented a legislative at tempt to address pandemic-driven learn ing loss, but staff, parents and students in the capital lobbied overwhelmingly for a traditional school year in 2022-23. It’s a decision Superintendent Hilario “Larry” Chavez supports for a number of reasons: First, students and staff are still grappling with the stress, grief and uncertainty of the pandemic, which isn’t conducive to catching up in Second,school.chronic absenteeism has spiked. “There was a lot of trauma that came from remote learning and the pandemic,” Chavez tells SFR. Students struggled in class, acted out or became more withdrawn. The mental and emotional scars also con tributed to absenteeism. An exact comparison of chronic absen teeism rates pre- and post-pandemic is diffi cult, says Crystal Ybarra, the district’s chief equity, diversity and engagement officer, because the criteria changed with the state Attendance for Success Act. Before it went into effect in 2020, chronic absenteeism was defined as missing 10 days, while the act upped that number to 10% of school days. But the spike is evident in the two full school years during the pandemic: In 202021, more than a third of students were chronically absent. In 2021-22, more than 50% missed too many days. With that in mind, Chavez says, adding more days to the school year is just adding more days for kids to miss. “When you haven’t addressed the health of staff and students and you haven’t ad dressed the absenteeism, you take a chance of widening the achievement gap,” Chavez says.So he chose a different approach, taking the summer to come up with strategies to re-engage kids in their studies. He says solu tions won’t be one-size-fits-all—a lot will depend on keeping in better touch with stu dents’ families to figure out what obstacles they’reThatfacing.willbe the primary path with el ementary school students, Chavez says. By staying engaged with families, schools can better understand how to overcome absenteeism.“Itcouldbe as simple as having some body meet them outside to walk ‘em across the street,” Chavez says. For high-schoolers, though, he has an additional plan. During the past school year, SFPS piloted an internship program that matched high school students with part ners such as the New Mexico Department of Transportation, and student nutritional and custodial services. Housing insecuri ty and economic disadvantage are among the leading indicators for absenteeism, and Chavez’s idea is that kids who miss school or drop out because they have to work to sup port their families are able to earn school credit and income at the same time. Chavez plans to expand that program this year, offering internships with busi nesses and community groups throughout the district. He’s not yet sure how many spots will be available, but says that once the school year is back in gear they’ll start gaug ing kids’ interest—and tailor the program accordingly.Noonan, the Santa Fe High science teacher, plans to focus the upcoming year on helping kids readjust to in-person learning. Her own kids had a tough time not be ing able to hang out with friends when they were attending school online, she says. For her youngest—who was going into kinder garten when the pandemic began—the big gest disappointment was not being able to go to the “That’splayground.whenhelost it,” she says. “There was an upset over not being able to be there physically and play.” So for her kids, returning to in-person schooling was a relief: time with friends, structure and a respite from sitting in front of screens with an uncertain internet connection. For others, though, the return was fraught. Noonan says many of her stu dents opted to remain online. She stayed flexible, converting assignments such as recorded lecture videos, which kids could access at any time.

Noonan says absenteeism has been an issue long before the pandemic—she’s been teaching in Santa Fe public schools for five years—but it’s increased signifi cantly since then. For Juliana Ciano, co-founder of Reunity Resources and parent of two chil dren who are going into third and fifth grades at El Camino Real Academy, the district’s decision not to extend the school year is a mixed bag. “We’ve all been through and are in a global pandemic, and sweeping it under the rug and pretending it didn’t happen isn’t the healthiest way forward,” Ciano says, acknowledging that students, staff and parents have been stretched too thin. On the other hand, extending the school year could’ve been welcome for working parents and guardians. “At a systemic level, until we’re able to separate childcare from education, schools are playing that role of being childcare—so it’s a really difficult deci sion,” she says. “I really respect our su perintendent and our school board for navigating it because trying to find what collectively works best for students and teachers is a really tall order.”

FARMERANNABELLA

In the upcoming school year, all her students will be back in the classroom, but she’ll continue to accommodate online options if kids get sick. For the kids who have returned, Noonan has noticed a change. “A lot of students retreated into a digi tal world and that was a very hard transi tion,” she says. “Even if they’re physically coming back to class, if they’ve still got their phone and are totally tuned in that way, it’s very challenging for them to un plug and then actually be present in the physical classroom space again.”

She wants to support kids getting to know each other—which can be tough in a school of over 1,500 students—using games in the classroom to help them start talking. One is a version of “Would you rather,” in which students rank which en vironmental issues they believe are most pressing.While obligations at home and work do contribute to student absences, Noonan says, a big part of the issue is that kids “just want to go hang out in the bathrooms with each other.” After years of isolation, spending time with friends is something kids “deeply crave.”

“I haven’t heard about this recently, but what was happening was people were getting followed home,” Chapman tells SFR. “They’d see somebody with a speed bike on their car and they’d follow them, find out where they live and break into their house at night. I’ve heard stories of people posting up at trail heads,SFPDtoo.”officials assign high-value bicycle theft reports to the Criminal Investigations Section, while patrol officers handle stolen lower-value bikes. The department also par ticipates in Leads Online, a program that alerts detectives when property sold to pawn shops, scrap yards or other businesses is identified as stolen. Bike theft victims’ demographics and ge ography seem to be random, Ortiz tells SFR, so detectives keep an eye out for stolen prop erty they come across in other, unrelated cases. He says it’s common for detectives to find several different stolen items they can link back to other property crimes either in SFPD’s jurisdiction or other agencies’.

After a little mu sic and dinner, they returned to find their ca ble lock cut and one bike missing—a scenario with which many local cyclists are familiar. Stories of stolen mountain bikes, cruis ers and 10-speeds run the gamut in Santa Fe. Some are swiped from people’s homes, sprung from their locks while parked on the street or snatched from bike racks mounted to car bumpers. Cyclists use what resources they can to hunt down their cherished rides and are often reliant on the power of the in ternet, such as the Santa Fe Bulletin Board on Facebook.SFRreported in June that the city has seen a rise in car thefts this year—up 93% in the first five months as compared to that time period in 2021. Stolen bicycles, meanwhile, are on pace to reach last year’s number of 127. According to SFPD Capt. Aaron Ortiz, 75 bikes have been reported nicked since Jan. 1. Ortiz acknowledges stolen bikes have been a “consistent problem,” but writes SFR in an email that the department “takes all thefts seriously” and assigns the cases with higher solvability factors, evidence, stolen property value and investigative leads to de tectives first. As the Broken Spoke bike shop owner, Mike Chapman is used to hearing the stories of stolen bikes—everything from the ordinary opportunist needing transportation to more planned-out heists by “pros.”

Similar to cars and trucks that go missing, bicycles are often used for getting around town and left abandoned, Ortiz says. It was “such a bummer” when Jessica Pecos had her cable lock cut and bike lift ed outside the DeVargas Center on July 29, she tells SFR. The bike had kept her spirits up during pandemic lockdowns, giving her a reason to get out of the house and exercise.

However, SFPD is unable to return many of them, because the owners don’t usually have a serial number to identify the bikes. “That’s very hard, because, obviously, manufacturers make their bikes similar and they all have the same description,” Ortiz says. “It’s not like a vehicle where you could have tinted windows or stickers or anything likeBelangerthat.” had good luck. “We posted on social media about it being stolen and the next day started getting info that the bike had been spotted in the down town area,” Belanger says.

BY ALEX DE alex@sfreporter.comVORE Multidisciplinary artist Tigre Mashaal-Lively heads to Burning Man with new interactive sculpture, ‘Facing the Fearbeast’

AUGUST 17-23, 2022 • SFREPORTER.COM12

B y the time I gather SFR’s art direc tor and head back to Stark Raven Fabrication at the far reaches of the Southside, the crew working on artist Tigre Mashaal-Lively’s newest sculpture has grown exponentially. The energy is chaotic but pal pably positive. People in heavy gloves and welding helmets flit around the warehouse— home to a fabrication shop whose operators are working with Mashaal-Lively on the proj ect, and most likely, on whatever subsequent pieces come up. Anyone who stops a moment to speak with us seems stressed, but it’s a good stress and they only have upbeat things to say. Everyone has been working toward something big. Everything is happening all at once. Everyone is ready. I’ve been mildly obsessed with MashaalLively’s work since they first hit my radar upon co-founding Santa Fe’s Earthseed Black Arts Alliance in 2020. This is the third or fourth time I’ve been to Stark Raven to poke around and get in everyone’s way. We’re in search of a killer cover photo, even if the folks working on the project likely grew tired of being photographed at the second or third meeting. Still, Mashaal-Lively is nearing a milestone with their newest work, and they deserves to take a bow. The piece in question is titled “Facing the Fearbeast,” a massive and immersive multi media sculpture that will, when finished, fea ture an imposing black monster with many eyes facing a small child—within its mouth, a mirror image of the child stares out. The sculpture, complete with LED and audio elements, will land among 400-plus other pieces by artists from around the globe at the Burning Man Playa in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada.Theannual desert bacchanal runs this year from Aug. 28 through Sept. 5. “Facing the Fearbeast” is meant to convey the “inner demons, traumas and self-deceits that threaten our well-being and thriving,” reads an artist statement from MashaalLively on facingthefearbeast.com. But there’s a deeper message of hope: “We choose to move past the false narrative of the Hero Alone,” the site reads, “to stand alongside each other in true love and siblingship.” Call it self-portraiture, call it universally relatable, call it what you like, the core tenets

The eyes of the beast prior to installation.

“I always think it’s fascinating when I find a piece of art beautiful, but terrifying at the same time, and I think Tigre nailed that per fectly,” she says. “I think the art you’ll find at Burning Man is quite different from what you can experience anyplace else, and that’s what makes this so special. You’ve got the ultimate tabula rasa; and the special sauce for every art project is when the event starts and the art shows up, then the people show up, and see

SFREPORTER.COM • AUGUST 17-23, 2022 13 of “Facing the Fearbeast” dwell in all of us in one way or another, and it demands reflec tion. Humankind has always faced internal and external struggles, but the noxious mix of a pandemic stretching into its third year amid yet another rise in police brutality and racist violence has left the nation on edge. The beast is also another in a long line of thoughtful works from Mashaal-Lively. In 2020, for example, they co-created a wooden altar in the Railyard as a site for healing; in 2021, they installed the 21-foot sculpture “The Solacii,” which was originally built in 2016, also for Burning Man, outside Guadalupe Street’s form & concept gallery. An as-yet unidentified assailant set fire to the latter piece a year ago, but Mashaal-Lively rebuilt it stronger than ever. Like most things they do, a healthy dash of fortitude went into theSuchmix. fortitude is obvious as the newest project continues. Mashaal-Lively and their crew won’t fully assemble the beast in Santa Fe before it heads to the annual artists’ gath ering. By the time you read this, it will have shipped to Nevada in pieces weighing about 7,000 pounds, according to crew member and Earthseed co-founder Nikesha Breeze. Once there, it will achieve its final form—amazing when we consider that a few short weeks ago, the gargantuan jumble of metals, cast resin and tires was a mere steel skeleton with little hint of its impending prowess and power. “The idea came to me some years ago, and it came—as often happens with my proj ects—both as a flash of inspiration, as well as a slowly incubating development process,” Mashaal-Lively tells SFR. “It was in 2020, although the idea of a child facing a snarl ing beast was something I’d started thinking about earlier than that.”

Originally, they say, the idea was to craft the piece from burnt wood and branches us ing techniques they’d worked with before. Previous Mashaal-Lively works, like “Jardin de Sueños” and “Old Tree,” showcase this methodology well, but those earlier ideas fell by the wayside as the true scope of the beast revealed itself to the artist. In the end, it had to be imposingly large to strike the tone Mashaal-Lively wanted—it had to be made of metal to reach its full potential. “From that point, I’d have these moments, and when these moments come, I call them an assignment from God, which I mean both totally sincerely and a little bit tongue-incheek,” Mashaal-Lively continues. “At that point, it hit me like, ‘Oh, shit, I don’t know when or what it’s going to look like, but I know it’s going to be hard—and I know I’m going to have to do Mashaal-Livelyit.’” kicked off the process with“Iillustrations.wassketching,” they say. “I grew up drawing, and that is kind of the basis of my practice still, so a lot of the early iterations were 2-D drawings.” They created digital paintings and 3-D renderings as well, but in those early, illus trated concepts, the beast was much larg er and reared up on two legs. Now its legs feel more insect-like, both in number and appearance; now its ferocious teeth are made from discarded motorcycle tires from local mechanics who usually have to pay to discard the vulcanized rubber. Orginal vision or no, it still casts an intense image. The funding was no easy feat, either. Mashaal-Lively applied for and received $30,000 from Burning Man’s Black Rock City Honoraria Program. Having shown work at the event before, they were already a known commodity but, according to Burning Man Art Management Specialist spec Guy, who is also Mashaal-Lively’s artist liaison for the gathering, the grant is about so much more than“Wethat.definitely want to know if someone has experience, because building art is hard anyway, and building art on the Playa is ex ceptionally hard,” Guy tells SFR. “We don’t want to just fund the same people year after year, but we also want to recognize when somebody has done a project before and are now doing something new.”

Guy says much goes into selecting grant recipients, and while she does play a role in the money’s disbursement, she’s not on the panel that makes the call. As an arts pro fessional and an appreciator, however, Guy speaks highly of “Facing the Fearbeast.”

These last few days before the sculpture ships are a far cry from where MashaalLively and Stark Raven’s Calli Beck—who also serves as project manager for “Facing the Fearbeast”—and Lucas Janowski found themselves even a few months ago. In March, they moved into the 5,000 square-foot ware house on Oliver Road, from which they’ll continue to work, host workshops and, with a little luck, house other local artists look ing for a communal-type working situation.

It’s a common refrain from artists who stay in Santa Fe long-term: Feeling overbur dened, they come to the high desert. Once here, they unwittingly find a home. And so theyBackremain.atour final photo shoot, artists work furiously to meet coming deadlines across various bits and pieces of the project. Some smooth out the resin sculpture of the child, others work to create the beast’s legs which, according to Mashaal-Lively, were just re cently finalized thanks to a suggestion from local artist Hernan Gomez Chavez, who stopped by earlier to volunteer his time. Volunteers have been a regular occurrence, according to artist and welder Thea Rae, a longtime friend of Mashaal-Lively, who came in from New York City to lend her expertise. “That’s just kind of how projects like this go,” Rae tells SFR during a quick break, add ing that she didn’t hesitate to travel to help an old friend. “Tigre is pure light.”

According to Guy, attendees can ex pect over 400 pieces at Burning Man this year, though just 84 received funding from the event’s grantmaking arm. Between the Honoraria Program and Burning Man’s Temple Grant, the festival gives out roughly $1.3 million each year. It’s a competitive pool and a tremendous accomplishment, and the Reno Gazette Journal estimates about 80,000 people will attend. Mashaal-Lively also raised money through crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, and says “Facing the Fearbeast” had hit close to $15,000 at last count. Private donations totaling about $5,000 also made their way to the project through fiscal spon sor Littleglobe, a Santa Fe nonprofit focused on storytelling. The project is, according to Littleglobe Executive Director Chris Jonas, “perfectly aligned with what we do.” Still, Mashaal-Lively says, wanting to do something and making it happen can create conflicting stories. “The problem with doing a project about facing your fears is all the things that are scary about it—the reasons to do it are the reasons to want to quit,” the artist says. “In the con text of the assault on Black lives, the increas ing fear and danger, it felt more present. And also, the last couple years, not starting with 2020 and the pandemic, but certainly exac erbated by it, I’ve been in a long, challeng ing journey around mental health. I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety and the things that brought me to New Mexico in the first place.”

Holographist C Alex Clark already has a working area inside Stark Raven, for example, and others will surely come knocking. Before the warehouse, Mashaal-Lively, Beck and Janowski shared space in a two-car garage in Lamy with even more artists and craftspeople. That’s where they completed their first collaboration: Mashaal-Lively’s “CoyoteSong” sculpture, a piece commis sioned by the City of Santa Fe during the pan demic and installed this year at its Municipal Recreation Sports Complex at 205 Caja Del Rio Road. While she looks back fondly on the coyote job, Beck tells SFR, the constraints proved“Thatuntenable.wasthefirst time we collaborated, the first time we were sharing shop space,” she says, “and we were outgrowing it almost before we started.” That made it tough to engage in what we’ll call the core ethos of Stark Raven Fabrication.

In the end, the beast wound up weighing in the neighborhood of 7,000 pounds.

Mashaal-Lively, meanwhile, finally sends “Facing the Fearbeast” off in pieces and catches a well-earned rest before they head to Nevada and the work starts anew. If there’s a sense of relief to be had, though, it’ll have to wait. “I have historical, personal evidence based on my own experience of pulling things together that seem like they’re impossible right up until they’re done and where it seems like we’re not going to make it,” they say. “I’m actively holding a lot, and I can’t let it go yet.

“The real crux of this piece is not just about facing the things that terrify us, but being able to see through that to what needs love and compassion,” Mashaal-Lively con cludes. “It’s finding this place that’s like, ‘OK, is there a place of peace that is not inaction, but that allows access to careful thought, con sidered choices? When you’re at peace, you have access to a wider range of outcomes.”

Mashaal-Lively explains some of the process for the child component of “Facing the Fearbeast.”

Breeze is a celebrated multidisci plinary artist, but so loved and believed in Mashaal-Lively’s work that they jumped at a chance to be involved. Much of Breeze’s contributions have to do with the child and its mirror image, particularly the cast resin process they landed on following ex tensive trial, error and experimentation. In the end Breeze created the cast with a material called Monster Clay, a mallea ble combination of clay, wax and polymer that can be endlessly melted down and re structured. The completed piece consists of a resin exterior and an interior steel ar mature surrounded by a composite foam that will make it puncture proof. A heart within the child will light up with LEDs andBreezesound.also serves as the project’s RIDE Lead, a Burning Man-mandated position whose acronym stands for “Radical Inclusion Diversity and Equity.” They’ve been tasked with making sure the crew has a notable BIPOC contingent, and this has included Indigenous, queer, Black and nonbinary workers and artists. Additionally, once on the Playa, Breeze will host podcast sessions, as well as a talk dubbed “Afro-Future Fungi and the Birth of Black Trans Eco Feminism in Art and Science Fiction.” Through the talk, Breeze will explore contributions to art, literature, media and beyond through an in tersectional lens—tired, over-cited and longdead white artists beware! “It’s going to be about communicating the ways this work is engaging the larger conversation surrounding Black, trans and queer identities at Burning Man,” Breeze says, “and how we’re bringing new concepts to what is generally a more gentrified space.”

Release and relief are not things I have access to in this moment. But it’s an active choice of faith. We’re going to keep going, I’m going to keep doing it until the point that it’s not hap pening. And if it gets to that point, well, I’ll keep going. There have been some hard mo ments; these emotional things come up that have nothing to do with this project, and I’m having to find my center—that I’m here to do it is a “Facingvictory.”the Fearbeast” will live on. Breeze says there’s still room to incorpo rate certain techniques and materials that couldn’t materialize in time for its debut; Beck says there’s still much to learn and no rush to grow; Stark Raven can and will be come a hub for those who want to learn, and in a more public way once she and Janowski return from Burning Man. And when the rest of the Burners exit Nevada, leaving no trace behind, the beast will return to Santa Fe, ready to evolve.

SFREPORTER.COM • AUGUST 17-23, 2022 15 to learn how to properly use a tool—any thing from a hammer to a waterjet to a laser cutter—she or Janowski or someone they know has the skill and wherewithal to make that happen. Part of it is about collaborative creativity, part is about safety—everything is about sharing knowledge for everyone’s betterment.“StarkRaven is a space we want to fill with other artists, and we love bringing in friends and volunteers to teach them,” Beck says. “My big vision is that it’s the first incarna tion of a solar-punk project, where we have a piece of land that’s a collective workshop and teaching space; something with a sculp ture garden, land projects, permaculture; tiny houses for artists; community kitchen; lecture hall; movie theater...and all those other things that are involved in living in a post-capitalist system.” Beck says she’d orbited Mashaal-Lively for a decade before they started collaborating. They’d learned dance from the same instruc tors and shown art in the same spaces and festivals. But where Mashaal-Lively tends to be more of a by-feel sort of creator and an ex perimenter, Beck operates from a rock-solid foundation of practical knowledge. “I think it was along the lines of my skill set and their skillset have a Venn diagram,” she explains. “I’m much more design- and business-oriented, whereas they’re more fine-art-oriented.”Thatcombination of skills has been a boon for Sophia Paez, a junior from MashaalLively’s alma mater, Bennington College, and an intern on the “Fearbeast” project. She’s learned a lot from multiple angles, Paez tells SFR, and she’s grateful for the experience. “I started off in college wanting to study sculpture, and I kind of veered off into cura torial work,” she says. “Working with Tigre has been refreshing—to get back into this sort of 3-D format.”

Paez will meet Mashaal-Lively in Nevada for the beast’s final assembly, and has put about six weeks into the project by the time we meet. During one visit, she works along side Breeze to create a faux patina on steel scales with a blowtorch; at the next, she’s focused on the the beast’s eyeballs which, when you get up close, appear as screaming faces. And though Paez says she’s picked up a lot of new lessons along the way, she’ll par ticularly remember how deep the collabora tive element goes on a Mashaal-Lively job. “Ideas are always welcome here, which is beautiful, and everyone is accepting and has mastered their craft,” she explains. “I’ve worked with other artists before, but the fo cus people have given me here as an individ ual to try and push and exceed limitations you have for yourself? I get to see myself in this project, and I don’t think I fully accepted that idea until recently.” Breeze echoes some of that sentiment the day after the beast ships. “Tigre is widely open to troubleshooting and thinking about new ideas,” Breeze tells SFR. “Everyone is bringing high-level skills, and Tigre is in constant collaborative growth with other artists. Not only do they have a strong idea of what they want, if somebody comes up with another idea, a better idea, they’re like, ‘Yeah, let’s go for it.’”

One hardly remembers a Summer Bandstand series without musician Chris Abeyta and his band, Lumbre del Sol. But following Abeyta’s death in March, it wasn’t a given that surviving members would hit the stage. Ditch those fears, though, because Lumbre del Sol is back, and with Abeyta’s sons Amado and Buddy carry ing the torch, they’ll pay tribute to their community titan father. Back in March, Abeyta’s son Amado told SFR of his dad: “The Plaza was his favorite place to perform,” a fitting locale for the most Santa Fe guy ever. Lumbre del Sol is quintessentially New Mexican, including flavors of Latin jazz, rock, folklorico and more. For those of us who grew up here, it’s almost like the soundtrack to Santa Fe.

Indian Market’s centennial celebration shows no growing pains

SWAIA offers Saturday activities on and around the Plaza, including performanc es from flautist Randy Kemp (Mvskoke/ Choctaw), Indigenous comics, food ven dors, dancers, singers, galleries and on and on. Sunday even features the return of the Native American clothing contest, and you can buy gorgeous art pretty much anywhere you look. The downtown galleries get in on the game, too, and who even knows what else will go down. Also cool? This year’s market is not ticketed as last year’s was. That’s right, friends— Indian Market is free and open to the public once more. “Even though we’ve been doing events since the beginning of the year, the actual market is different,” Peone continues. “We just want people to come out and celebrate our birthday with us.” (Riley Gardner)

The hip-hop scene in Santa Fe has really become some thing worth celebrating over the last few years. You’ve got emcees like Anthonius Monk and Prismatic Soul ripping it up; you’ve got crews like Outstanding Citizens Collective spreading the love; you’ve got new-ish act Baby Weekend releasing a new record of super-chill, su per-lyrical, Balkan-inspired hip-hop jamz. Klezmer-esque horns flare up within the beats while members/rappers Be Juan and Tuberculosis somehow marry a throwback Slick Rick style with contemporary grit, soul elements and more words per minute than seems doable. It’s nerdy, it’s funny—but it also hits hard and is likely dance able. Baby Weekend hosts a listening party for its new album on Friday, then performs live on Saturday.

When we say there is nothing quite like Santa Fe Indian Market, we mean that sincerely.What else around here draws an estimated 100,000 people? For the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts, which hosts the annual gathering, this year is extra-extra special: Indian Market is turning 100. That’s a century of Native artists descending upon Santa Fe to show off countless art styles ranging from the traditional to the ultra- contemporary and all points in-between—and the big anniversary hits just as Indian Market gets to stretch its legs after two years of pandemic limitations.

One hundred years ago, the market was a Pueblo-focused, non-Native-orga nized event. Over the past century, how ever, it has evolved to be run by a mostly Native staff with meaningful reach into Indigenous communities within the US and Canada. Over the decades, the mar ket has changed plenty as Native people continue to celebrate their artistic talents and right to self determination more free ly. Things aren’t perfect, but one can’t deny the market has been a critical life line for creators across all demographics. So, what can you, dear reader, expect?

The name High Mayhem Emerging Arts still means something around here, particularly in how the arts org continues to push the boundaries of live media. This week, everybody’s favorite ragtag gang of improvisa tional multi-instrumentalists and artists puts bassist Carlos Santistevan and percussionist Marshall Trammell together with the multi-dimensional violinist Laura Ortman for In Defense of Memory, an evolving band that doesn’t need your stinking time signatures. Think of it like freejazz and noise merging with trained musical ity and improv progressivism. In Defense of Memory wends its way through conceptual odes to New Mexi co’s checkered history, and you’ll find movements that border on the classical, as well as the risky complexity to which High Mayhem and its offshoot ambassadors continually strive. It’s gonna get weird, but you’re gonna love it. (Alex De Vore) In Defense of Memory: 7 pm Thursday, Aug. 18. $20 San Miguel Chapel, 401 Old Santa Fe Trail, (505) 983-3974 OOH, BABY BABY!

“It’s really exciting to finally have this event with no restrictions,” Kim Peone (Colville Confederated Tribes/Eastern band of Cherokee), executive director of SWAIA, tells SFR. “For me, it’s been more like Indian Market on steroids.”

with Artist Virgil Ortiz

It would be impossible to pigeonhole multimedia Cochiti Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz into one neat category, but it’s still kind of fun to try and explain what he does to people. Ortiz is a ceramacist and sculptor, a digital painter and designer. Brass tacks? If he wants to figure out how to do something, how to work in some new milieu, he’s going to do just that, and the dedication to expansion and experimentalism have more than earned him a spot in the pantheon of notable New Mexico artists for decades. Take, for example, Ortiz’s “Recon Watchmen,” characters that play a role in his ongoing Sirens: Secret Passkeys & Portals project examining the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 across the concept of multiple dimensions. In short, Ortiz has crafted a world wherein the revolt is happening simultaneously in 1680 and 2180. It’s very multiversal. Now, on the eve of the 100th iteration of Santa Fe Indian Market this weekend, Ortiz is not only preparing to sell his traditional wares from his booth on Lincoln Avenue, he’ll unveil a new component of his Sirens project this October as a permanent room at Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return. Luckily, I happened to be sitting next to Ortiz at the movies last week, so we set up an interview. This interview has been edited for clarity and space. (Alex De Vore)

AUGUST 17-23, 2022 • SFREPORTER.COM20 THURSDAYFRIDAYSATURDAY TheErrorsComedyof presented by Santa Fe Classic Theater at Santa Fe Botanical Garden SHAKESPEARE GARDENin e 2022 July 28-Aug 21, 2022 Tickets On-sale Now santafeclassictheater.org — 505-336-0629

Let’s start with Meow Wolf. What can you tell us about your room and your concept? The whole concept is bringing the ‘Recon Watchmen’ to life. [Visitors] go into the room, into the laboratory, which is a place where the ‘Watchmen’ are communicating with people here on Earth. There’s these other characters called ‘The Sirens,’ and they’re building an automaton army to help the ‘Watchmen.’ You’ll see pillars where they’re constructing armor and getting ready to send it down to Earth. It’s taking what I know from traditional work—the methods and materials; we dig our own clay, make our own paint—and adding foam sculpting, incorporating the resources to go larger. We’ve got costuming done for a video component. It’s pretty cool to see how it looks now, and the end result will be a feature film... about the Pueblo Revolt. The script is a living thing that keeps changing. It’s been re-written and re-drafted maybe four or five times now. It’s the Pueblo Revolt in two dimensions. Time jumpers going back and forth between those dimensions; how we preserve our way of life, traditions, our ceremonies, our artwork. It’s obviously that Indian Market time of year, and a big one, too, given that it’s the 100th. Does this time of year bring anything up for you? It’s really cool because you can go to the New Mexico History Museum and see [Honoring Tradition and Innovation: 100-Years of Santa Fe’s Indian Market 1922-2022], and I helped with that as a co-curator and a consultant. The concept is showing what the first Indian Market looked like—which was mostly potters, a little bit of jewelry, mostly Pueblo artists— and historical pictures. They set up the exhibition to look like what Indian Market looked like a long time ago, and there’s me as a futuristic part of it. I remember lying underneath the tables when my parents and grandparents would show at Indian Market. But it was being there that allowed me to be in the city and see Star Wars for the first time in the theater at the DeVargas [Center] when I was 6 years old. Indian Market has changed, because it used to be that it was only based on traditional methods and materials, that it was very highly curated. There’s a lot more now, but I do show my traditional stuff in my booth. I show more sci-fi kind of stuff at places like Meow Wolf. You work in so many mediums. Are you erring toward anything right now, and was it the organic direction the art took, or did you deliberately set out to work in any specific style? It’s all of the above. And to pull it off, you need a team. Hanging out with [Albuquerque artist] Chris Casey, I have the best teacher to make molds and use resin. It definitely takes a whole team to pull it off, and the projects just keep getting bigger and bigger. If I don’t know how to do something, I know someone who does. And it’s all manifesting, too. Everybody thinks I’m crazy when I talk about manifesting all the time, but it’s real. All of a sudden, it just appears like, ‘We need to make a 9-foot bus,’ and I tell someone, ‘I don’t know how yet, but you’re a part of it now.’ The thing with art is that it’s doable. If someone has already done it, it’s doable. The thing is to not be afraid of failure. Failure is one of our best teachers. You fail, you learn, you do it right.

If you head along Cerrillos Road in either direction from its intersection with St. Michael’s Drive, you’ll hit what I some times refer to in my head as the “Burrito Corridor.” In a mere few blocks, you’ll have access to El Parasol, Los Potrillos, Baja Tacos, K’Bueno and, on over a recent weekend, two new spots that are poised for top positions on my regular bur rito list. Cuco’s Kitchen 2207 Cerrillos Road, (505) 365-2946 Founded in Albuquerque in 1992, the establishment recently took over the former location of Fast & Real Burritos (which itself can now be found farther down Airport Road—and which was actually the original Burrito Spot back in the days when a regular ly hungover 20-something Alex would stumble in and beg for liter ally anything with bacon). At Cuco’s, a mind-bogglingly kind cashier told me and my breakfast com panion that we can expect another loca tion to open in Los Alamos soon, and that they’ve been having a pretty good run in Santa Fe so far. Supply chain issues have prevented the business from obtaining its own sign yet, and you’ll still see the Fast & Real signage. Still, if you look closely enough as you zip by, you’ll catch Cuco’s yellow color scheme on its building. Follow it.

Cuco’s burrito is big on flavor and doesn’t skimp on the scrambled egg, and that’s say ing something these days. Whoever was in the kitchen also had a fundamental under standing of how to cook eggs—these were restaurants? The way you barely cook your potatoes is a stone-cold atrocity. At Cuco’s, the kitchen not only chopped the spuds into manageable sizes, they cooked them all the way through. Same goes for the cheese, which was a melty and satisfying feature that found its way through the burrito from tip to tail. Bless a cook who doesn’t toss a whole mess of shredded cheddar right in the center to either not melt properly or, if it does, turn into an amorphous choking hazard. If one were to get nit-picky, the day we visited heralded chile so mild it moved into unnoticeable, but the salsa bar in the corner helped us circumvent those woes. Besides, as we all know, chile fluctuates day to day, which is a weirdly enjoyable fact. Regardless, the horchata ($2.69) was fresh and refreshing without being too sweet, and the tres leches cake we split afterward ($4.49) capped off a tasty meal with a nice bit of sweet to counter balance all the savory.

Dos Amigos 2428 Cerrillos Road (505) 772-0971 The following day, I tricked my uncle, who recently moved back to Santa Fe, luring him into the car with burrito promises. He worked in restaurants for decades and comes from the wine and fine dining worlds, but I’ve straight up seen him eat a hot dog off the floor, so I figured he’d be down with a burrito on SFR’s dime. Together we head ed to Dos Amigos (not to be confused with Rodeo Road’s Los Amigos, where I recently went absolutely bonkers on a carne adovada burrito; Pork Roll, Aug. 3), a surprisingly ex cellent and new-ish eatery that took over the old Souper Salad location with an extensive menu, a full bar and, we learned, karaoke on Saturday nights. Our server was charming and attentive and made us feel welcome without hovering; she’s the one who invited us back for karaoke. Feeling famished from the tough work of business eating all weekend had me ordering a smothered X-mas breakfast burrito with potatoes on the side; my uncle opted for a simple handheld with green chile and bacon. In both cases, we were impressed. The chile at Dos Amigos was right in the flavor/spice sweet spot with chunky green and a thick, earthy red. In handheld form, he said, the textures of the chopped chile and fluffy eggs worked well, and it was gone before I could take a Myphoto.smothered variety still haunts me, and I suspect it had something to do with the fresh tortilla and the side of potatoes. The closest thing to which I can liken them would be the Pantry potatoes, though these were sliced thinner and had a larger surface area for soaking up chile. Of course, there wasn’t much of that left in the end. Dos Amigos’ bright interior and friendly staff sealed the deal, too, but it’s really the chile and potatoes that made it possible.

The interior remains a spartan affair with a few tables strewn about a side room and counter service at the front. As I’ve said repeatedly, sometimes the most unas suming eatery can house the burrito of your dreams, and when it comes to Cuco’s, said burrito dreams do come true. Of course, it’s possible you’ll be nonplussed by the $7.49-$8.99 price point (depending on whether you want meat) in a town full of $5 or $6 breakfast burritos, but at Cuco’s, the handheld breakfast burritos are gigan tic—as in, we couldn’t finish them in My companion opted for a classic bacon/green chile number, while I kept things vegetarian and ordered my standard: X-mas all the way, baby.

At present, the tide seems to be shift ing, and Illuminative will partner with the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts for the first time this year to host a two-day series of events at the 100th Santa Fe Indian Market dubbed Indigenous Futures: Envisioning the Next 100 Years. And the partnerships don’t end at IlluminativeSWAIA. is also working with celebrated Chemehuevi photographer Cara Romero for a curated gallery space (more on that in a moment) and with Indigenous fashion brand Urban Native Era founder Joey Montoya (Lipan Apahce) for an arts and culture panel. Rutherford Falls creator Sierra Teller Ornelas (Navajo) and stars Jana Schmieding (Mniconjou/Sicangu Lakota and easily one of the funniest people on TV right now) and Bobby Wilson (Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota) will also participate. Other events include a panel on gender and leadership with SWAIA Executive Director Kim Peone (Colville Confederated Tribes), a film panel with Prey producer Jhane Myers (Comanche Native power through voting and organiza tion with Native Organizers’ Alliance’s Judith LeBlanc (Caddo) and NDN Collective CEO Nick Tilsen (Oglala Lakota). There’s more, too, we just can’t fit it all. Think of it like a celebration, think of it like a homecoming, think of it like a means of shouting about the value of Native lives and their impact on the broader worlds of art, film, activism, etc.—just think of it as much as you can, because while it’s important to realize the ways in which Native identities continue to be erased, it’s also important to engage with the good things. “What I understand about the long his tory of art is that, in times of social change, it’s society’s tendency to turn to the arts for hope, for feeling better about the state of the world,” says Romero, who was tapped by Illuminative to curate a gallery space during the org’s Indian Market appearance. “I’ve seen more people consuming and buying art in these last several years than I’ve ever seen during my career, and there’s a big push to de-colonize institutions, industry and art.”

If you’ve not yet realized how Native con tent makes up some of the best TV and film stuff going down right now, we’re not sure what you’re even doing. Shows like Rutherford Falls on the Peacock streaming service and Reservation Dogs on Hulu, plus films like Prey, are dominating pop culture spaces and conversations—and with good reason. As writer/actor/incredibly funny tal ent Dallas Goldtooth (who plays pivotal roles on both of the aforementioned TV programs; Mdewakanton Dakota and Dińe) recently said on Twitter, “The lesson of the moment: Invest in Indigenous stories by Indigenous directors, producers, writers, actors, etc.— and you will get amazing results.” “But it didn’t happen by accident,” says Crystal Echo Hawk (Pawnee and Athabascan), executive director of the orga nization Illuminative. “You’ve had Natives in the industry for decades who have been push ing and pushing for this moment—actually, not just a moment, it’s really a movement.”

“We’re finally getting more mainstream,” he says of Indigenous representation across a variety of arenas. “It’s so great to finally see it in film and television, but also the artists who are above me, already along in their careers, who are showing at the Whitney, at MoMA, at The Met. Being an artist, there’s so much autonomy and so many ways to express your self, and it’s nice to see other Native nations from the states and Canada; a show where you get to see all that, have it all in one room. We share a common history and I very much enjoy seeing what everyone is working on.” Echo Hawk and Romero, meanwhile, are understandably eager to share their results with the incoming Indian Market throngs. “The way we’re showing that Native peo ple are funny, we’re smart, we’re all the things...for people to really see that, that’s what we’re going to celebrate,” Echo Hawk “I think there’s an audience, and I think the landscape is changing,” Romero adds. “I think of arts and culture like a riv er through time.

champion Cannupa Hanska Luger and Diné muralist Nani Chacon), but again—fitting it all in feels like an impossibility. Still, too many amazing artists seems like a high-class problem.“Iwas really happy that Cara thought of me, and to be involved with this group of art ists,” Last Gun tells SFR. “When I was invited and I saw the concept is the next 100 years— my work is always thinking about that. I’m pulling from the past, but I’m always thinking about the future and using new ways to visu ally express myself.” Last Gun created numerous new pieces for both the Illuminative gallery space and his booth at Indian Market. We can expect new serigraphs (a printing technique) and ink/colored pencil ledger drawings (in short, for those not in the know, illustrations that are completed on antique ledger paper). He says part of the thrill of the Illuminative events is seeing everything happening in one town, under one umbrella.

Simpson (Santa Clara Pueblo), painter Daniel McCoy Jr. (Mvskoke/Citizen Band Potawatomi and a perennial SFR favorite) and printmaker/led ger artist Terran Last Gun (Piikani Nation).

In the end, it feels like questions remain, and Nope likely won’t deter anyone from consuming trauma as entertainment, but when simply living through another day continues to be the best most folks can hope for, unanswered ques tions and doomscrolling seem about right.

Kaluuya once again proves an actor who lives in the quiet intense moments, while Yeun brings an odd charm to what is essentially a faded star role. A short but vital B plot explains his horrify ing origins, and you actually come to feel for the guy. Newcomer Brandon Perea shines as well as an employee from a local electronics store who wants to believe in UFOs, but Nope becomes Palmer’s movie so gradually you almost don’t notice until she steps fully into her power. When she does, allusions to kaiju and anime cinema pump up the badassery, and the intensity rises.

PREY 9 + CGISREPRESENTATION;TRONGCAST;ACTIONISSOMETIMESGOOFY

With all due respect to the numerous enjoyable (and not so enjoyable) Predator movies that have come out thus far, Fox’s newest entry in the long-beloved alien/monster/horror/sci-fi franchise is a breath of fresh air, a massive jump in Indigenous representation and, frankly, so damn awesome it’s kind of out of control. The year is 1719, and a young Comanche woman named Naru (a positively electric Amber Midthunder) finds herself at odds with her place within her community. She’d like to hunt and has the chops to do so, but everyone else in her tribe, including her brother Taabe (newcomer Dakota Beavers), underestimates her ability and pressures her to stick with medicine and food prep and such. And then the Predator appears with its futuristic weapons and cloaking tech and bloodlust. Not entirely sure what’s roaming the woods outside her village melting wolves and scaring mountain lions, Naru seizes an opportunity to prove herself, but with French colonizers in the area, ferocious animals at every turn and, if you’ll recall, the freaking Predator skulking around invisibly, she might have taken on a little too much. Prey excels in its subtler efforts every bit as much as it does in its powerful depictions of violence. Yes, you’ll find gore and lasers and a fantastically badass tomahawk on a rope, but with producer Jhane Myers (Comanche and Blackfeet, and you’ll find a Q&A with her on page 25) playing a role in getting the Native content right, you’ll find a love letter to tribal fortitude and elegance. For every bear fight or gross French trapper who gets got, find a compelling lesson on hunting tactics, familial dynamics and land-use savvy. Even seemingly small elements—such as how Naru wields her bow, how the village operates in the background or, brilliantly, how the French language doesn’t get subtitled—has a stirring effect. It’s also weirdly satisfying that every Native character has a name, while all the white folks are credited like “FrenchmanMidthunder1.”

The Princess Review Nothing new, but still worth the ride BY RILEY riley@sfreporter.comGARDNER 7 + GREAT PACING; ARCHIVAL TRI LLASTUMPHACTOSESFOCUS

The spike in media re-examination of the Princess of Wales has become a little much, don’t we think? After Kristen Stewart’s admittedly glorious por trayal in last year’s Spencer, the abysmal Diana: The Musical and more documentaries than one can count, we might want to give it a rest. Yet new HBO doc The Princess manages to tread at least a little new territory as it tells the same story. Director Ed Perkins (Tell Me Who I Am) might even be the first filmmaker to succesfully portray a cogent transition from the cultural figurehead of Lady Di to the historical Princess of Wales. Still, to nail it wholly would require a much more thor ough delve into a country that allowed Diana’s ill-fated celebrity to reach critical mass. The Princess is thankfully free of talking head interviews, which gives Perkins the space to make the decidedly more clever move of presenting Diana’s greatest hits through archival footage. But there’s less of her than one might expect. A big chunk of this documentary isn’t even about the woman, but rather the court of public opin ion. Even more interestingly, The Princess opens with footage of various ’80s riots, which creates a novel foundation for the rest of the documentary: national doubt in the form of economic reces sion, the last breaths of colonial-esque wars and Thatcherism. A “woman of the people” emerges in Diana. It’s populism, but it has a crown. The British Royal Family remains interesting to a select few, unless we’re talking drama. Yet, The Princess keeps a grip on its own charisma, even as it descends into duller, well-trod tabloid gossip. Perkins’ film could have gone deeper into the socio-economic factors that built Diana’s mythos, but he steers the ship into the safer waters of accountability in the wake of her sudden death. I also wish he had more footage of Princess Anne hanging around the College of Santa Fe, where he features her learning of Prince William’s birth as she exits a gala at the Greer Garson Theater as part of a “goodwill tour.” Yup, that abandoned campus is part of the Princess Di story, folks. While The Princess loses sight of its original thesis of a trembling nation searching for a new North Star, it is a fitting entry-level watch. Perkins helps bring a little more sense to things by which American brains seem flustered. Those who al ready know anything likely won’t learn anything new, but the biggest royal-skeptic in your life might still be enchanted by the narrative.

Filmmaker Jordan Peele returns to the sci-fi/ horror milieu with Nope, his third feature film and a darkly funny rumination on how and why we consume content—and how the fall out of our obsession tends to exploit those already in compromised positions, particularly people of color. Here we follow OJ (Daniel Kaluuya) and Emerald (Keke Palmer) Haywood, estranged siblings from a family of Hollywood horse wranglers descended from the Black jockey featured in Eadweard Muybridge’s 1878 work The Galloping Horse—widely considered the first motion picture ever made. When their father (the legendary Keith David in an all-too-brief appearance) dies in a mysterious one-in-a-bil lion accident, our heroes find themselves the sole proprietors of the family business just as an unexplainable phenomena takes to the skies above their ranch. Meanwhile, nearby, former child actor Ricky Park (a subtly chilling Steven Yeun) runs a Western-themed amusement park with his family and attempts to make a buck off his own tragic backstory. Peele, who both writes and directs here, deftly interweaves deceptively simple plot lines about survival into a layered indictment of both capitalism and entertainment, and the positions into which they put those with the least power. Take, for example, both the Haywood and Park families’ knee-jerk decisions to seek fame and fortune from the thing in the sky rather than considering their own safety. Their stations aren’t so different, really, and their shared desire to struggle less becomes a central stick ing point. What might any of us do if faced with an opportunity to claw our way out of meager lives? Having mouths to feed might not be the most glamorous of stakes but, when we strip away artifice, there are none higher.

dominates in the role of Naru and creates a sympathetic character whose motivations might be about survival, but who never loses her humanity. Beavers is a revelation as well, a particularly notable achievement given that he’s never acted in a film before. Together they convey a loving sense of competition common to siblings; together they do some of the craziest stuff we’ve seen on film in some time. It’s a testament to Myers’ dedication, but also to director Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane) for wanting authenticity and getting it the right way. If you want to catch all the Predator Easter eggs and all the nods to Indigenous culture, Prey screams for multiple viewings. Luckily it’s big on the feels and the cultural cache. It’s just an incredibly fun film to watch. (ADV) Hulu, R, 99 min.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In his poem “The Pupil,” Virgo-born Donald Justice speaks of how he spent “a whole week practicing for that moment on the threshold.” I advise you to do the same, Virgo. The goal is to be as prepared as you can be for the upcoming rite of transition—without, of course, being neurotically over-prepared. It’s fine and natural to honor the tension of anticipation, using it as motivation to do your best. One other thing: As you get ready, please have as much fun as possible. Visualize the sense of accomplishment you’ll feel when you’ve reached the other side of the test.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Of all the signs in the zodiac, you Scorpios are most likely to regard that old pop tune by the Animals as your theme song. “I’m just a soul whose intentions are good,” croons lead singer Eric Burdon, “Oh, Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood.” But you may have less motivation to express that sentiment in the coming weeks, dear Scorpio. I suspect you will experience record-breaking levels of being seen and appreciated for who you are. For best results, do this: 1. Inform your deep psyche that you have no attachment to being misunderstood. 2. Tell your deep psyche that you would very much like to be well understood.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus poet Sherko Bekas wrote, “Each joy I wear, its sleeves are either too short or too long, too loose or too tight on me. And each sorrow I wear fits as if it were made for me wherever I am.” With this as our starting point, Taurus, I’m pleased to report some good news. In the next three weeks, you will have zero sorrows to try on and wear like a garment. And there will be at least three joys that fit just right. The sleeves will be the correct length, and the form will be neither too loose nor too tight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In her poem “Valentine,” Capricorn poet Carol Ann Duffy tells a lover she won’t give her a “red rose or a satin heart.” Instead, her token of affection is an onion, a symbol of multi-layered complexity. “Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,” Duffy writes, “possessive and faithful as we are, for as long as we are.” She adds that the onion will “blind you with tears like a lover.” OK. I understand the tough attitude expressed by Duffy. Romance isn’t a relentlessly sweet, sentimental romp through paradise. But I don’t recommend that you imitate her approach to your love life in the coming weeks and months. Appreciate the sometimes shadowy and labyrinthine convolutions, yes, but don’t make them more important than beauty and joy and love. How about invoking the symbol of a pomegranate? It represents fertility and rebirth out of the darkness.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky wrote, “All my life, I’ve been going around waiting for something—as if I were waiting in a railway station. And I’ve always felt as if the living I’ve done so far hasn’t actually been real life but a long wait for it—a long wait for something real.” If I could speak with Tarkovsky right now, I would cheerfully tell him that his wait will soon be over. I’d say that in the coming months, Aries people who have been postponing and postponing, who have been standing by and holding on and biding time, will have an excellent chance to begin inhabiting their full, rich destiny. I invite you to imagine what that will feel like.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sometimes, you may feel you’re under the influence of a debilitating spell or hindered by a murky curse. Pisceans are prone to such worries. But here’s a secret. More than any other zodiac sign, you have the power to escape from spells. Even if you have never studied the occult or read a witch’s grimoire, you possess a natural facility for the natural magic that disperses curses. From the depths of your psyche, you can summon the spiritual force necessary to cleanse the gunk and free yourself. Now is a perfect time to prove to yourself that what I’ve said here is true. What injustice are you most motivated to cor rect?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Tips on how to get the most out of the coming weeks: 1. Create a big spacious realization by weaving together several small hunches. 2. Keep a little angel on your right shoulder and a little devil on your left shoulder. Enjoy listening to them argue, and don’t get attached to anything they say. 3. Do the unexpected until it becomes expected. Then abandon it and try a new, unexpected experiment. 4. Meditate expansively on the question, “How many careers can I have in one lifetime?” 5. Enhance your home so it feels even more comfortable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I’ve swung from ancient vines in the caves of Jamaica,” exults Hoodoo priestess Luisah Teish. “I’ve danced with delight around totem poles and pressed foreheads with Maori warriors. I’ve joked with the pale fox in the crossroads, then wrestled with the jaguar and won. I have embraced great trees between my thighs and spoken words of love to thunder while riding lightning bolts.” I offer Teish’s celebratory brag to inspire you as you formulate plans for the coming weeks and months. What exhilarating adventures will you give yourself? What expansive encounters will you learn from? What travels outside of your comfort zone will you dare? The time is right for upsurges and upturns and upgrades.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Unless we are creators, we are not fully alive,” wrote Sagittarian author Madeleine L’Engle. She was referring to everyone, not just people in the arts. She believed that to be soulful humans, we must always make new things, generate fresh possibilities, and explore novel approaches. The restless urge to transform what already exists can be expressed in how we do our jobs, our parenting, our intimate relationships, and every other activity. You are now entering a phase, Sagittarius, when this initiatory energy will be especially available, needed, and valuable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be extra expressive with the people and animals you care about. Be even more amusing and generous than usual. Dare to be abundantly entertaining and engaging and empathetic. Make it your goal to draw out your allies’ dormant potentials and inspire them to love themselves even more than they already do. I’ll tell you about the endearing terms that author Vladimir Nabokov called his wife. Consider using them with your dear ones: “My sun, my soul, my song, my bird, my pink sky, my sunny rainbow, my little music, my inexpressible delight, my tenderness, my lightness, my dear life, my dear eyes, kittykin, poochums, goosikins, sparrowling, bird of paradise.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be fluid and flexible while still being rooted and sturdy. Be soft and sensitive even as you are also firm and resolute. Be mostly modest and adaptable, but become assertive and outspoken as necessary. Be cautious about inviting and seeking out challenges, but be bold and brash when a golden challenge arrives. Be your naturally generous self most of the time, but avoid giving too much. Got all that, Cancerian? Carrying out the multifaceted assignments I just described might be nearly impossible for most of the other signs of the zodiac, but they are in your wheelhouse. You are a specialist in fertile complexity.

Homework:

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “One is always at home in one’s past,” wrote author Vladimir Nabokov. But I encourage you to rebel against that theory, Libra. For now, find a way to NOT feel at home in your past. Question it, be curious about it, re-evaluate it. My hope is that you will then be motivated to change how your history lives in you. Now is an excellent time to reconfigure your life story, to develop a revised relationship with its plot twists and evolution. Revisit and update some of your memories. Re-evaluate the meanings of key events. Enchanting healings will materialize if you do.

New Modern Buddhist Meditation Series Begins August 16th The Art of Meditation: Developing a Joyful Practice If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually, we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances. By training in meditation, we create an inner space and clarity that enables us to control our mind regardless of external circumstances. In this series, learn how to practice meditation skillfully and with confidence and joy. When we plant a garden, first we remove all the stones and weeds from the soil which would obstruct the growth of our plants. Second we fertilize the soil to sustain their growth. Third, we make sure there is warmth and moisture to enable the seeds to germinate and for the plants to flourish. In the same way we cultivate our inner crops of Dharma realizations so that Buddha’s wisdom takes root in our Whileminds.these classes build on one another as part of a series, each class is self-contained, consisting of guided meditations, teachings and group discussion. Everyone is welcome and free to drop in to any or all classes regardless of experience.
