PERPLEXING TWIST

GREGG DAVIS VIA FACEBOOK

7 DAYS, JULY 27: ONLY SOMEWHAT COMICAL Regarding “4. POPE FRANCIS APOLOGIZES TO INDIGENOUS CANADIANS FOR RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL ABUSE” in 7 Days the Santa Fe Reporter wrote the following comment:“Then he [the Pope] wore a traditional headdress, because nothing says reconciliation like cultural appropriation.”

There are many valid criticisms to be made of the Pope’s apology, principally

that the Church, as the “Body of Christ” is blameless in formulating the “Doctrine of Discovery.” That [doctrine] was and continues to be the theoretical basis for European genocidal abuses here and in Canada, indeed, throughout the world.

Though somewhat comical, the Reporter’s comment betrays real ignorance of a tradition common to many nations of First Peoples. In that tradition, leaders or representatives of other peoples are honored by the gifting of Native regalia, including ceremonial headdresses. That the writer is not aware of this widespread practice should have limited the ability to make such a foolish comment, a comment that has no basis in reality, and which actually distracts any discussion from serious and profound issues.

In sum, the Reporter covers up a real issue with its sad and ill-informed attempt at humor.

3 QUESTIONS, JULY 20:

One question I might ask her; if you could find a way to provide visitors a better way to know what the permanent exhibition Girard Wing shows in each case, you’d be everyone’s hero.

I know the donor insisted on no labels on each case, but maybe an audio that is invisible that each person could hear would satisfy everyone.

I can’t tell you how many times people ask me in perplexed ways how to know what’s on display in each case. And when I point to those booklets, they shrug. The booklets are a museum goers sad replacement for a professionally presented collection. Please innovate something great. Thank you.

Chamber Champions Santa Fe Hispanic Chamber of Commerce looks to improve Southside community B Y G R A N T C R AW F O R D g r a n t @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

he Santa Fe Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has an opportunity, its members say, to combine forces with the community and improve Southsiders’ quality of life.

At a recent Thursday-night gathering inside the office of Jairo Gutierrez, a local State Farm insurance agent, chamber members, along with Mayor Alan Webber, reiterated their intent to empower business owners and support local residents. The group is coming off a few quiet years, as the pandemic forced its leadership to hit pause.

Now, the organization is working to revive its membership and inject some new life into the chamber.

“So I think it’s definitely a revamp, especially from COVID,” chamber President David Fresquez tells SFR. “During COVID, everyone was just trying to figure that out.

Now that we’re out of COVID—knock on wood—one of our focuses is definitely on young professionals.”

The group is using initiatives like a “40 Under 40” awards campaign to highlight young entrepreneurs and bring fresh faces on board. (Award nominations were this spring and an inaugural event to honor them is planned for the fall.) With more than 100 members now, the chamber’s leadership believes the economy along Airport Road is

set to boom, largely because it’s built of people who have already carved out success for themselves.

“I think one thing everyone here has in common is we work our butts off and we take the risk,” Fresquez told the group during its Business After Hours event in July. “You may be in debt, you may be tired, you may have had a bad day, but the next day you claw your way back up.”

Fresquez found his calling after his scholarship to play soccer for Colorado State University Pueblo ran out 13 years ago. In need of a job, he walked across the street from his apartment complex to a nursing home. He had no clue what he was doing at the time, but it was there that he fell in love with serving elderly people. After a quick stint working in sales and marketing for the San Antonio Spurs, he decided to pursue his passion and started his own business, which now has 30 employees, to ensure those in their golden years live comfortably.

“One thing I had in common with them is they missed home, they missed family,” Fresquez said during the meeting. “So I started up my business back home here in Santa Fe, called Age Friendly. We do exactly that.

We help people age in place at home, instead of into a nursing home or assisted living.”

Stories like Fresquez’s are common around the newly revitalized Hispanic chamber. There are people like Perla Ramon and her husband, Pedro Lopez, who have seen their business, Fusion Tacos, expand across the city since moving their first truck from a location on Cerrillos Road to Airport Road in 2019.

“Our customers kept on telling us, ‘We’re not going to go to that side,’” Ramon

says. “They said, ‘Southside is really dangerous.’ I said, ‘The more dangerous, the better the tacos.’”

To Ramon’s surprise, the food truck thrived at the Airport Road location. Fusion Tacos has since opened locations at Old Santa Fe Trail, Santa Fe Brewing Co. and Santa Fe Place Mall. The duo isn’t stopping there, though. The business is franchising, with one location now in Albuquerque and another on the way.

Then there’s El Paisano Supermarkets, owned by Carlos and Maria Andre, with Moises Tarango serving as executive director. Tarango remembers the days when Carlos sold candy from his apartment in the early 1990s. Today, El Paisano has locations on Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe and on North Riverside Drive in Española, while a new storefront on Airport Road is in the works.

“That land where we’re building the new store, there used to be a tree there on the sidewalk,” Tarango says. “[Carlos] would be there in the shade selling candy. Now, he’s building that store and he’s so very excited, because after 25 years, look how far we’ve come.”

While Santa Fe’s downtown has long

served as a tourist destination, the Southside hasn’t enjoyed the same attention. But the area has grown over the years, and Mayor Webber says businesses on the Southside are still making progress.

“I basically believe that any business does three things really well,” Webber told the chamber. “It creates a community, it makes connections, and it starts conversations about how to have a better place…Everybody here is doing those three things, at least, and the better you do them the more you grow your brand and the things you value—the reason you’re doing it in the first place.”

The chamber wants to use its platform and experience to help the surrounding community flourish. Now is the time, members say, to build on what’s already been done to enhance the Southside. The chamber is inviting others to join the effort.

“I think the thing I would like everyone to have is the goal of helping people,” says Gutierrez, the State Farm agent. “I think if we start with that and that’s always the foundation of what we’re doing, it’s going to come back. The more you give, the more will come back.”

Slowing the Flow and other structures before releasing it back into the river. For Hensley and others who worked on the garden, such projects indicate an inflection point in the way Santa Fe thinks about stormwater.

“Our paradigm of dealing with stormwater has been that it’s a menace,” Hensley says, and Santa Fe, like most cities, is designed to get it off the landscape as quickly as possible before it floods buildings and damages infrastructure.

But she says that needs to change.

Stormwater can be a tool to improve Santa Fe’s resilience in the face of climate change, instead of becoming a greater threat as storms become more severe and unpredictable.

That’s the idea behind rain gardens.

Rather than water running off streets, parking lots and other impervious surfaces into storm drains, rain gardens guide stormwa-

he arroyo near her house had flooded, so Mori Hensley knew it was time: She climbed in the car with her mom and dog and drove into town to see the new Brother’s Lane Rain Garden on East Alameda in action.

The City of Santa Fe’s Public Works Department and the watershed association announced the completion of the Brother’s Lane Rain Garden and Camino Escondido Stilling Basins on July 6, and they’ve been tested during recent monsoon rains.

Hensley saw stormwater running off from east of Paseo de Peralta and rushing down the side of the road. Usually, that water races through the gutters, occasionally diverting into storm drains and running into the Santa Fe River, carrying with it all the trash, cigarette butts, petrochemicals, tire residue and other contaminants it’s picked up along the way.

“It’s like taking a fire hose to the soil,” says Hensley, who is the executive director of the Santa Fe Watershed Association. “It’s basically ripping the soil away along with any plant roots or microbes holding the soil together— so after the storm has passed, the landscape and the channel are left drier than before.”

This day, though, it looked a little different: The big puddle that normally accumulates at the corner of East Alameda and Old Santa Fe Trail during a storm was smaller than usual.

The scene might have gone unnoticed by most Santa Feans, but Hensley—project manager for the new rain garden—saw it as a win.

Funded by a River Stewardship grant from the state Environment Department for about $160,000, the project is a collaboration between the Santa Fe Watershed Association, the City of Santa Fe, the RainCatcher Inc., and Watershed West. It’s the latest project in the Alameda Rain Garden Program, a city initiative designed to take stormwater from the streets, slow it down and improve its quality by passing it through “bioinfiltration basins”

ter into “stilling basins” where it can pool and infiltrate into the soil.

In the Brother’s Lane Rain Garden, designed by Reese Baker, owner of sustainable landscaping company The RainCatcher, a special mixture of soil in the basins that helps water infiltrate more quickly—24 hours at most, Hensley says.

There’s a series of basins, each of which serves a purifying function.

Water flows from the street into the first stilling basin, which catches trash and debris and can be easily cleaned out. During a rainstorm, the water in the first basin is almost black. In the next basin, there are native grasses with extensive root systems that stabilize the soil, adding carbon and helping to trap chemicals and break them down.

“A lot of petrochemicals are carbon-based, so they still have value to some of these species,” Hensley explains.

Then, the stormwater encounters elm branches that have been inoculated with oyster mushroom spores. The mushrooms help to further break down chemicals.

The rain garden serves another ecosystem benefit: aquifer recharge. By slowing

stormwater down, instead of stripping soil moisture, rain garden structures lend soil the ability to hold moisture, allowing water to infiltrate—“hopefully into our shallow aquifers where they can be kind of a savings account for our city water,” Hensley says.

She notes that the city has a practice of “resting wells,” relying primarily on surface water to save groundwater for when other resources aren’t as available.

“I look at stormwater management as not only a way to deal with a potential hazard, but also as a way to improve quality of life for our community and our ecosystems,” says Zoe Isaacson, acting river and watershed manager for the city. “Back in the day, we thought we were in the land of plenty, so we pumped our groundwater as much as we needed and we didn’t recognize that we were depleting our aquifers and not recognizing the surface water for its value.”

The Camino Escondido Stilling Basins focus on curbing erosion, explains Melissa McDonald, Parks and Open Space Division director.

They cleaned out a place that was “basically just an old dump site,” creating structures so that as water comes from the streets—Camino Escondido, Canyon Road and others—it flows through a pipe to a series of energy dissipators that slow water down like eddies in a stream, capturing sediment and debris in the basins and then releasing the water into the river.

McDonald says the city is working with the watershed association to test the water quality at the entrance to the basin and then in the river to track any improvement.

So far, they’ve only gotten a baseline, which McDonald says “told us what we’ve kind of known”—that the site has an issue with contamination from dog waste and car pollutants.

“It’s not flagged as an area of concern,” she says, “but it’s something that we wanna watch because as our city grows and there’s more traffic and people walk more dogs, we need to keep our water quality up for our downstream users and for our wastewater treatment plant.”

Finding ways to slow stormwater is also a safety concern. Flash floods happen when water can’t seep into the earth quickly enough, and they can be fatal. Just last week, the Santa Fe Police Department identified a man who’d been found dead in an arroyo after heavy rainfall on June 25 as 37-year-old Wilfredo Flores-Diaz.

“Nothing is a silver bullet,” says Hensley, but she sees rain gardens and similar low-tech green infrastructure projects as an essential tool for Santa Fe to become “a more ecologically healthy and resilient place.”

abriel Lomayestewa digs in, taps home plate, then smacks a hard-hit ball to the left side of the infield. Showing off his speed, he easily beats out the shortstop’s throw to reach first base and tries to soak in the moment.

“It just felt like a dream,” he tells SFR days after recording a pair of infield singles, which are common for the 17-yearold Santa Fe High School senior.

There’s a reason it felt so special.

Lomayestewa got in the books twice for running down the base path at a $672 million stadium as part of a showcase recognizing some of the best high school ballplayers in the country.

The Atlanta Braves hosted the first-ever Native American All-Star Baseball Showcase July 16-17, offering young ballplayers the chance to practice and play in front of pro and college scouts at the massive, modern Truist Park in Georgia. The top 50 high school players of Native descent, representing 35 tribal affiliations from 13 states, hit the diamond for a pro-style workout and showcase game, demonstrating their skills and learning a thing or two from big leaguers.

Among them were Lomayestewa and Kyle Suina, 18, and a recent graduate from Santa Fe Indian School—both members of the Pueblo of Cochiti, located roughly 35 miles southwest of Santa Fe. With about 1,100 enrolled members, it’s a community where Gov. Phillip

Quintana says everybody knows everybody. If it weren’t for the invitation to compete in Atlanta, the pair would have been celebrating with the tribe for its annual feast day that weekend.

However, if you’re an aspiring baseball prospect looking to learn, spread your name in the network of college scouts or just have a memorable time, you clear your schedule when a major league ball club offers you the spotlight. So Suina and Lomayestewa, both coming off good seasons with their high school teams, each made the nearly 1,400-mile car ride to play on the Braves’ field to impress coaches and potential college suitors. Their high school coaches praise their passion for the game, which underpins their dreams of some day making it to the big leagues themselves.

If they were to come true today, the Cochiti ballplayers would join just two other active Native players in Major League Baseball: Ryan Helsley, all-star pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals and Cherokee Nation citizen; and Brandon Bailey, pitcher in the Cincinnati Reds organization and citizen of the Chickasaw Nation.

According to the 2022 Racial and Gender Report Card, conducted yearly by the Institute of Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida, on opening day this year, 0.1% of MLB players were Native American.

Despite the small number of Native Americans to make it to the league throughout its history (52, according to Baseball Almanac) the list includes notable figures such as Louis Sockalexis.

A member of the Penobscot tribe of Maine, he’s recognized as the first minority to play in the National League, signing to play for the Cleveland Spiders in 1897, 50 years before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Olympic gold medalist and celebrated athlete Jim Thorpe—member of the Sac and Fox Nation—played for six years in the MLB. More recently, there was twotime World Series champion Jacoby Ellsbury, the first player of Navajo descent to play in the bigs. Other players with some Native American heritage include the likes of Johnny Bench and Willie Stargell.

“The talent is there and baseball is in our culture,” Jude Torres, Santa Fe Indian School head baseball coach, tells SFR, adding that all Native ballplayers

need is the opportunity and a strong foundation. “There’s a lot of poverty, alcohol, drugs in the community. So it’s easy for a kid to fail at something and fall quickly into that atmosphere. So you’ve got to keep them positive.”

Suina and Lomayestewa credit the support of their families, coaches and tribes for their success. The community came together when the pair hosted raffle fundraisers to pay for their trip to Atlanta.

“I threw a party the other day and a lot of the tribal members came and supported me,” Suina says. “They said, ‘Just go do whatever makes you happy,’ and they said, ‘Home will always be here.’ So I have the support from my whole tribe.”

He and Lomayestewa hope their fairytale experience will inspire more Native kids to strive for success that might seem unattainable. Suina says he’d like to help foster a greater representation of Indigenous people in baseball.

“I think that Native Americans could get more out there through the press and media,” he tells SFR. “I think it’s great that we’re given this opportunity. This is [the Braves’] first time doing this, so we’re like the stepping stone for Native Americans to get out there into the world.”

The local sluggers seized the moment. Both were skeptical when they first heard about the invitation and thought it was likely a scam. It sounded too good to be true, until they realized it was, actually, too good to pass up.

“I hadn’t got an opportunity like this in my whole life,” Lomayestewa tells SFR. “After some research, we realized it was legit and this was a good opportunity for me to get my name out there.”

The pair—seasoned summer ballers accustomed to traveling during the warm months—grabbed their gear and their families, and headed for Atlanta.

On arrival, they folded in with the other high school players and met up with former MLB players Marquis Grissom, Johnny Estrada, Marvin Freeman and Lou Collier.

After walking through the tunnel of the 41,000-seat stadium, they started off with some drills, getting work in at different positions to broaden their skill sets. They took notes from guys like Ron Jackson, a former player who served as the hitting coach for the CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

and led in slugging percentage with .694.

It led to a scholarship offer from Ottawa University in Surprise, Arizona, where he signed a letter of intent to play for next year.

The Braves have held similar events to allow people to experience the MLB dream, like the 44 Classic and Hank Aaron Invitational, the latter of which helped the organization find its starting center fielder, Michael Harris II. So Greg McMichael, director of alumni relations for the Braves and a former player, says events like the one this year can help the players raise their stock.

“I talked to some of the college coaches and they liked what they saw,” he tells SFR. “Some of the kids were already committed to a school. I think the biggest takeaway this year was the experience; No. 2, finding out how we can continually make this better and provide opportunities to connect schools and players.”

For Suina, who already has plans to play college ball, he had nothing to prove. The showcase was more of an opportunity to improve and give him some added motivation as he takes his game to the next level.

In his senior year at the Indian School, Suina flourished in the batter’s box. He finished with a .442 batting average in 30 games, recorded a team-best 17 doubles

“It was exhilarating and awesome,” Suina says. “I wasn’t expecting that at all, for them to announce our names. Overall, it was a very cool experience.”

The first-ever Native American All-Star Baseball Showcase, highlighting players across the country last month, was a “good thing for our Native youth,” says Charlene Teters, retired dean of Santa Fe’s Institute for American Indian Arts and member of the Spokane Tribe.

“It doesn’t excuse the Atlanta Braves, though,” says Teters, who has been at the forefront of an ongoing national debate around high school, college and professional sports teams using Native American imagery—and often racist parodies thereof—as mascots.

The reigning World Series champs hosted the event at Truist Park, inviting the top 50 Native youth players from around the country to participate in a pro-style practice and showcase game. Two local high school players, both members of the Pueblo of Cochiti, were part of the group representing 34 tribal affiliations from the US and one from Canada.

Santa Fe Indian School graduate Kyle Suina and Santa Fe High School senior Gabriel Lomayestewa made the trip to Atlanta after receiving invitations to the event.

The showcase comes less than a year since the Braves won the 2021 World Series, which reignited national discussion about the team’s use of Native American symbolism and an infamous fan ritual, the “tomahawk chop.”

Greg McMichael, director of alumni relations for the Braves, says the organization doesn’t need to talk about its respect and admiration for Native American communities, because “actions speak louder than words.”

“If they’re in Braves country, the right thing to do is to provide opportunity and access,” he tells SFR. “I think we’re doing that just not with them, but with a lot of different groups…

It doesn’t matter what community you’re in.

I’m looking for opportunities. We care deeply about our Native American community, because we’re so closely tied with them. So, sure, we want to help them and we’re looking at that in all groups.”

Mascots, names and traditions shape a sports team’s image. Franchises funnel millions of dollars into their identity, which fans grow to cherish. So changes to an organization’s ways and culture often meet pushback from teams and their supporters.

Monikers and rituals like the tomahawk chop, though, “put Native people in a situation where we’re entertainment,” says Teters.

“One thing about Americans is they know very little about the people whose lands they occupy. So when these teams use these iden-

tities, it becomes a platform for people to act out their perceptions of Native people, their stereotypes of Native people. That’s why we’ve been challenging the use of our names as a sports team identity.”

Teters says the Braves organization has some work to do “in terms of weaning their fans away from using Native people as entertainment,” and that the “best thing they could do is to move away from the name ‘Braves.’”

Suina and Lomayestewa are fans of the Braves, though, and were excited at the chance to go play in a big league stadium.

Suina says he understands the criticism the ball club has received, “but it doesn’t really affect me that much.”

“I’m kind of biased about it, to be honest,” he tells SFR. “It’s kind of offensive, but not offensive. I’m a pretty big Braves fan, but that’s just my preference.”

Lomayestewa tells SFR the Brave’s decision to host the all-Native event was “genuine,” and he doesn’t get bothered by the name or imagery.

“I was at the field and they were talking to us about how Native Americans inspired them,” he says.

“They want to contribute to the Native American community and showcase that Native Americans are still in America and participating in sports and everyday life.”

Some players have been outspoken critics of the tomahawk chop, including 2022 all-star Ryan Helsley, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. The National Congress of American Indians, a Native rights organization, has also long opposed the Braves’ fan ritual and team name.

Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred has stood up for the team, meanwhile, saying before the World Series last year that the Native American community in the Atlanta area supports the organization, which has a close partnership with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians based in North Carolina.

Braves fans have chanted along with the chop at games since the 1990s. Its use still “doesn’t sit well” with Pueblo of Cochiti Gov. Phillip Quintana, but he likes the team’s name.

“They should try to make sure that when they do speak of Native Americans, they should try to do it in a respectful, honorable way,” he says.

As the nation has recently seen major sports franchises buckle to public pressure and drop racist names for their teams, such identity overhauls are massive undertakings. So the chances of the Braves changing course anytime soon are slim, Teters tells SFR, but she adds that events like the recent showcase bolster dialogue for organizations and Native communities to find common ground.

Listed as 5-feet-4-inches tall, the lifelong athlete doesn’t let his stature affect his confidence, but it’s put a chip on his shoulder.

“I’m not the biggest guy out there,” he tells SFR. “I just wanted to prove that with my size, it doesn’t matter. I

can be just as good as any of the guys out there, no matter how big they are.”

Lomayestewa is also hoping to extend his playing career after high school. He’ll continue attending camps and hopes to garner some college offers over the next year, with the goal of hearing his name called on MLB draft day. Before that, though, Santa Fe High coach Ian Farris expects a strong showing from the team leader during his senior campaign.

“I know for a fact that he’s going to bring that competitive fire,” Farris says. “Our team has 12 seniors coming back, so it’s going to be a good team and I think he’s going to be a big part of it, just making sure that we’re getting on base. That was a big thing for us last year. He got on base so much, not just because he’s small. He can hit the ball over people’s heads and is surprising people.”

Wherever the future takes the allstars, they understand they always have a place at the Pueblo of Cochiti, and it’s the work ethic they’ve shown that has people close to them expecting great things in whatever they choose to do next.

“Baseball ends at some point for everyone, but those kinds of traits are going to be what help carry you and be successful through life,” Farris says.

Until then, Lomayestewa and Suina are going to keep playing for as long as they can. With the success they’ve seen thus far, they might just be rounding first.

DITCH THE KIDS When friends visit from out of town, a similar refrain occurs: They would totally visit Meow Wolf, they say, if it weren’t for those meddling kids. Yeah, the Santa Fe-based arts corporation’s hometown perma-installation might be big on stuff for the kid in all of us, but perhaps you’d like to slide down a washing machine portal without some screaming toddler throwing a fit with their sticky hands a few yards away. Look, with all respect to kids (we believe the children are our future), sometimes you’ve gotta chug beers and catch the neon lights with a panel of your peers. That’s what Adulti-Verse is all about. Oh, and for those parents among you who are clutching your child-rearing pearls right now? You can still take them most other times.

Tin Out of Ten An archaic art form brings new life to Native photography Nothing about the tintype photo process screams “easy.” You’ve got to be patient and cautious; you’ve got to use just the right amount of chemicals to ensure your image comes to life. It’s easy to make smudges, add cracks and even to set the tintypes on fire. But for photographer Will Wilson (Diné), working in tintypes has become a kind of ritual.

“In the digital age, I think people are removed from process in photography,” Wilson tells SFR. “I’ve always done handmade photography. It’s alchemy.

It’s beauty. It means something to slow down and take a portrait in the age of the selfie.”

Wilson’s new exhibition at Foto Forum Santa Fe is part of a decade-long project entitled Critical Indigenous Photographic Exchange (CIPX). In these pieces, Wilson asks: What if Native people had invented photography? What, exactly, might that mean for modern art?

Wilson’s work, which has been shown in Seattle, Portland, Switzerland and elsewhere around the globe, derives much of its inspiration from Wisconsinborn photog Edward S. Curtis, who famously photographed the Diné after the Long Walk (the deportation and attempted genocide) where they were, in 16

essence, POWs. Curtis’ work brought widespread imagery of Natives to the larger world, and is now seared into the public imagination.

In addition to displaying tintypes, Wilson will offer a chance for patrons to take part in their own metallic memories through new photos, but do note that spots will surely fill up quickly. Foto Forum founder Sage Paisner hopes to organize more sessions in the future, but if you miss out you can still watch Wilson as he creates. Through his accompanying app, Talking Tintypes, viewers can even engage with augmented reality elements, which add a new sort of life to old-school photographs and practices.

“In a way, I wanted to complicate history’s narrative, to unsettle it,” Wilson explains. “Taking the photo for the sitter is a process, and I love process.” (Riley Gardner)

Though we’ll likely always feel the 2020 death of celebrated hoop dancer Nakotah LaRance, the Lightning Boy Foundation with which he worked has most certainly kept the dance dream going this whole time. Case in point? The upcoming Nakotah LaRance Youth Hoop Dance Championship on Museum Hill.

In a nutshell, youths ages 5-24 will come together to show their stuff across a variety of age-based tiers, and it will be beautiful. Named for Valentino “Tzigiwhaeno” Rivera, aka Lightning Boy—another Indigenous dancer taken from us too soon—the foundation has inspired and fostered countless dancers since its 2017 inception. In summation: Incredible dancers taking part in a pair of incredible legacies might just be one of the cooler sentences we’ve ever gotten to write.

Today, however, Ashman presides over the Midtown gallery Artes de Cuba with co-director Peggy Gaustad. Together, they’ve built quite a mecca to contemporary Cuban artists, and it’s time for Santa Fe to really take notice with the upcoming exhibition, Havana Printmakers. A veritable cornucopia of printed pieces across mediums like woodblock, silkscreen, collagraphs and even collage, Artes de Cuba is out to showcase that Cuban style in a way with which many might not yet be familiar.

End Gun Violence Now!

W

e, the undersigned members and friends of the United Church of Santa Fe, call for an immediate and complete ban of all assault weapons and all modifications of weapons that transform them into assault-style weapons. We call upon our neighbors and businesspeople who are financially benefiting from the sale of assault-style weapons to take the moral high ground and to immediately cease and desist from all sales of assault weapons and modifications that transform weapons into tools for murder.

We also ask that our law enforcement: the Santa Fe Police; Santa Fe County Sheriff’s department; and the NM State Police work together with the full force of their departments, to create a massive ongoing buyback program for assault weapons and all guns that people are willing to relinquish as they recognize a moral call to respond to the death and destruction that we have seeded in our American society. ur children are being murdered in schools staring down the barrels of assault weapons. Our youth are dying by suicide with the guns in our homes. Our siblings of color are being targeted and murdered in our streets, in shopping malls and in movie theaters. Our neighbors are being targeted as well as murdered in their houses of worship. We must recognize that what we once called “safe spaces” are now sites of horrific and unspeakable violence, murder and destruction, and sites of lingering and lasting devastation to the communities that surround them and the loved ones, survivors, and support teams left behind. We can change this! No more hiding behind rhetoric. We call on our politicians, government officials, and business leaders to take responsibility and take action. Our communities expect and demand that you do what is right and necessary to stop these atrocities from continuing to happen. ur faith teaches us to “Love God, Neighbor, and Creation.” We believe that aside from those serving in the military no American needs to be armed with a weapon of war. We want our children to have a future, we want our neighbors to feel safe in their communities, and we want our law enforcement to be able to do their jobs. Our loved ones’ lives depend on your having the courage to enact immediate measures to change the trajectory that we are on. We pray that you and we will have that courage— and we will hold you and ourselves accountable for doing what we must to end this scourge of gun violence.

COURTESY DREAD SCOTT

With Artist Dread Scott

M U S I C

AUGUST AUGUST 3-9, 3-9, 2022 2022 •• SFREPORTER.COM SFREPORTER.COM

L I N E U P

Brooklyn-based Dread Scott begins his artist statement by saying, “I make revolutionary art to propel history forward,” and, across his storied career, that’s precisely what he’s done. Scott has become what some describe as a provocateur: He’s spoken at TED Talks; he’s been shown in the Whitney Museum, MoMA and the Brooklyn Museum. Scott’s 2019 community-engagement piece, “Slave Rebellion Reenactmen,t” has even been called one of the most important artworks of the decade. And now, he’s coming to Santa Fe to talk as part of the Santa Fe Art Institute’s Art of Change 2022 fundraising series (5:30 pm Saturday, Aug. 6. $250-$1,400. 1600 St. Michael’s Drive Bldg. 31, sfai.org) We caught up with Scott to learn more. (Alex De Vore) Would you say you feel a responsibility in any form as an artist to tackle big things, to help us filter emotions?

I guess I feel as a person it’s important to fight for the world you want to bring into existence. Some people have a disproportionate influence, and artists are some of those people. What artists do matters. This is a world that is brutally divided, principally between the tiny handful of people who control the great wealth and knowledge humanity as a whole has produced—and the people who produce that. Billions of people are functionally locked out of full participation in society. They can’t have a conversation like we’re having right now because they’re busy working out how to eat. Those of us who have the relative luxury to work with ideas—do we reinforce the status-quo, or do we try to upend that in some ways large or small? I think it’s really important to talk about the big questions. As far as emotions, there are tons of ways artists have addressed this, and some of them are very emotional. And I mostly don’t make work safe from my own personal feelings, per se. I’m just trying to look at what would it mean for people to understand that

enslaved people were self-determined and trying to get free in the 1800s; that their descendants can try to make rebellions in the present, whatever that means.

What does it mean to look at what the US flag and patriotism, and to give all sort of ordinary people the opportunity to participate in that conversation?

You’ve had your work banned. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment from that, almost like it’s working as intended on some level?

I tend to focus on the people who were inspired by it—people in housing projects who don’t, let’s be honest, much think about contemporary art works by undergraduate art students or standing in line to see the work. [In 1989] America was becoming more militaristic, and it wasn’t quite the War on Terror, but they were starting to invade more countries and bomb more countries. People were starting to have more questions about that, so I think those are the people I’m mostly focused on, and the fact that the rulers of the country didn’t like this work and went to the extraordinary length of banning it says a lot about the power of art and the frugalness of this system. People questioning the flag and US patriotism...to ban an artwork that does flies right in the face of the First Amendment. It was about much more than my artwork, but yeah, the work is working as intended.

I read somewhere in an interview that you’ve considered the last few years inspiring. Are you still feeling that?

The protests around George Floyd were very inspiring—that people all over this country and the world and in big cities and small towns, including towns that don’t have a lot of Black people—were saying Black lives matter. The initial opening salvos of #MeToo were very good; the youth fighting for climate justice. Some of the far-too-small but courageous response to the overturning of Roe v Wade, the young activists—mostly women, but people of all genders—that’s mostly good, but the other part of the dynamic is that fascism is on the rise all over the world and is particularly manifesting in the US. I wouldn’t say I’m hopeful, but I also don’t think it’s bleak. The fact that there were all these people standing up around George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, that was important for its own right, but there were also people who learned something. There are a lot of people looking at what’s going on with the Supreme Court ruling of Roe, and they don’t believe in this minority rule, which is very open that the Republicans in general are completely about that and disenfranchising people. I think art helps people see questions differently.

Pork Roll

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

S

ome years ago I found myself utterly grossed-out while halfway through eating a beautiful steak I’d cooked perfectly. Not only was the act of eating sickening, but I kept reading about how factory farming was destroying the planet. Armed with prior years of vegetarianism that I’d given up on because I really wanted a Bobcat Bite burger that one time, I quit meat right then and there and entered a world of more bread and cheese per meal than I ever thought possible. Veganism was never an option.

Eventually, my doctor told me I had to add an occasional piece of fish to my repertoire because—and I say this with all respect to the vegans—I found myself exhausted regularly despite how I was supplementing my diet with vitamins and upping my non-meat proteins. Still, for the most part, I did not experience the siren call of meat.

But then something interesting happened recently while I was working on a story: I watched chef Fernando Ruiz make pork tacos, decided I at least needed to try a bite and, just like that, fell in love with pork again. I started slowly—pretty much just the carnitas tacos at Paloma during a dinner and then, for a long time, nothing. But during two separate meals over the last week, I found myself riding the pork train hard, and you know what? No regrets.

Last Friday, a friend suggested we check out Fiesta Oaxaca (135 W Palace Ave., (505) 982-9525), an eatery their partner

Fiesta Oaxaca and Los Amigos lured me back to the pork side swears by and one that had been on my “I’ll get to it at some point” list. Now that I’ve eaten there, I’m forced to ask myself why I slept on it for so long. First of all, the entire menu cuts a swath across the cuisine of Southern Mexico (with nods to Spanish, French and Afro-Caribbean styles to boot), and literally every item can be made vegan thanks to a little something called fake meat (mostly Seitan in this case). In other words, I could’ve been going to town this whole time, and I feel like it was a missed opportunity. My plan was to avoid meat, too, but then you see something on the menu like the al pastor burrito ($14), and you think that slow-cooked pork might just recapture those feels from Ruiz’s tacos.

And so they did. Fiesta Oaxaca’s take on the pork dish finds the meat sautéed with tomatoes, guajillo chili, chipotle, garlic, onion

and pineapple. Wrapped in a gargantuan tortilla and served with red and green salsas frescas plus Oaxacan cheese, it was a triumph of flavors and textures. Even better?

I felt stronger than the freaking Hulk after I crushed that bad boy—and I particularly loved the interplay of the sweet pineapple against the slight bitterness of the red salsa.

My buddy zeroed in on a dish dubbed lengua capiada, a delightful meal featuring battered beef tongue lightly fried with tomato, olives and capers. “Ohmygod,” they remarked at first bite. “They’re nailing this.” Still unable to bring myself into the red meat arena, I could only watch as they tore through it ravenously. Occasionally, they’d offer up comments about its tenderness and how well it was cooked. If you’re a beef tongue kinda diner, I gleaned, this could be a new favorite. My abridged take on Fiesta Oaxaca? I’ll be back so hard.

Two days later and I was on the Southside to hit up a restaurant I haven’t visited in ages but always consider whenever I drive by: Los

LEFT: The al pastor burrito from Fiesta Oaxaca.

RIGHT: Carne adovada at Los Amigos.

FOOD

Amigos (3904 Rodeo Road, (505) 4380600). Santa Fe is one of those towns where a healthy number of old-timers inside can be an earmark of culinary quality, and the bevy of those, not to mention the laid-back ambiance, made the trip feel right. This time I dined with another companion who didn’t want to go the meat route and selected cheese enchiladas ($9.99). But seeing as how I’d already veered into pork country several times in recent weeks, I chose to order one of my all-time favorite New Mexican dishes and one of the few I missed during my myriad meatless months: the carne adovada burrito ($11.99).

While my companion said they would describe their X-mas enchiladas as “fine, better with the red chile,” I’m prepared to call Los Amigos’ carne adovada the best I’ve eaten in a million years. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll find plenty of places that serve this dish, but I’ve nary had a more tender and flavorful version. You’re probably thinking that it had been so long since I’d eaten meat, how would I have known? Well, and I’m sure you know what I’m talking about, one doesn’t forget an incredible adovada, and this one ranked among them. Los Amigos knows what it’s doing in the red chile department, and with an explosively flavorful combo of subtle spices making up a sauce that prioritized flavor over heat (something I love when restaurants do), I could barely contain myself. Los Amigos has a massive sopaipilla, too, which I used to create my own mini stuffed sopa.

“Do I just eat pork now?” I wondered to myself inside my head.

“If it comes like this, I just might,” I responded to myself.

One suggestion? Los Amigos offers small and large burrito sizes, and you should go with the large. Lord knows I will when I return, which will likely be any day now.

CURTIS BROWN FOR THE SANTA FE OPERA

Beautiful Metamorphosis

Santa Fe Opera’s transformational M.Butterfly soars

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

M.

Butterfly librettist David Henry Hwang first encountered the true and then-sensational story of French diplomat Bernard Boursicot and Chinese opera singer and spy Shi Pei Pu at a cocktail party. Boursicot and Shi met in China in the 1960s and carried on a 20-year affair before Boursicot learned Shi was actually a spy and a man.

Both were eventually convicted for espionage in the 1980s.

Hwang thought—correctly—the story would make a good play. M.Butterfly— which fictionalized the true events to tell the story of diplomat René Gallimard and soprano Song Liling—became a 1988 Tony Award winner, a Pultizer Prize finalist, spent several years on Broadway, including a 2017 revival, and has been performed in several dozen countries. Director David Cronenberg adapted the play into a film in 1993.

Composer Huang Ruo first saw Hwang’s play when he was a student at Oberlin College and, spotting a poster for M.Butterfly, thought perhaps it was a theatrical version of Giacomo Puccini’s opera Madame Butterfly. He attended and “walked out a different man,” Ruo told an overflow audience last weekend at a pre-performance discussion between himself and

Santa Fe Opera’s world premiere of M. Butterfly, starring, from left to right: Kangmin Justin Kim (Song Liling) and Mark Stone (René Gallimard).

Hwang with dramaturg Cori Ellison.

Hwang hadn’t actually heard Puccini’s opera when he first thought of the story’s connection to Madame Butterfly. Rather, he’d been pondering what Boursicot “thought he’d found” in Shi. “And the answer came to me, ‘Oh, he probably thought he’d found his version of Madame Butterfly,’” which Hwang knew as “a cultural stereotype of service, submissive Asian woman.”

He began listening to the opera and found, “the libretto had everything that I needed to write the play.”

But the story, Hwang notes in a video introduction to the opera “really works best when there is abundant theatricality and an ability for the audience to suspend disbelief” and fall into the diplomat’s world of fantasy and self-delusion. For that, he says, “I always felt on some level opera would be the right form.”

That opera, which had its world premiere in Santa Fe last weekend, adds to Hwang’s play, layering references not just from Puccini’s opera, but also from the classic Chinese story and opera Butterfly Lovers. That tale also explores issues of gender and identity: A young girl disguises herself as male in order to attend school, where she falls in love with a classmate.

Their love is doomed and only by dying and becoming butterflies can they be together.

Song’s third act aria, “Awoke as a Butterfly,” is based on text written by Daoist philosopher Zhuangzi, in which he dreamt he was a butterfly and awoke wondering if he was a butterfly dreaming he was a man (in short).

Those rich thematic layers meet their musical counterpart in Ruo’s score, which marries elements of Western and Eastern musical styles into a driving polyphonic sound that captures the disjunctive tension inherent in Gallimard and Song’s relationship within the larger cultural tensions of the era in which the story unfolds.

Conductor Carolyn Kuan, whose SFO debut was Ruo’s Dr. Sun Yat-sen in 2014—commandingly led the orchestra through the opera’s many propulsive moments, as well as its nuanced ones.

The opera is Ruo’s second world premiere at SFO—he’s the only composer to have two world premieres here, the first was Dr. Sun Yat-sen—and the SFO and US mainstage premiere for countertenor Kangmin Justin Kim as Song Liling. As the elusive Song, Kim’s performance was simply breathtaking. The countertenor voice works perfectly in this role to convey the character’s gender fluidity, but the beauty of Kim’s mezzo-soprano range also allows the audience to enter Gallimard’s delusion as well. Kim’s use of vibrato to convey Song’s tremulous moments—her fluttering—were highly effective. Both Hwang and Ruo have spoken of the importance to them of authentically casting an Asian opera singer in the role, as well as the scarcity of Asian countertenors. In turn, Ruo said, Song’s role was in many ways written specifically for Kim, who has now set a high bar for future Song Lilings.

As Gallimard, baritone Mark Stone fully embodied the striving and ultimate-

OPERA

ly humiliated diplomat. Stone’s final aria, when he faces himself and transforms into M.Butterfly himself, was an incredibly moving performance on opening night.

Well, there are no bad performances here under the leadership of Director James Robinson. Mezzo-soprano Hongni Wu, in her SFO debut, effectively portrays Comrade Chin, the People’s Liberation Army envoy who recruits Song. SFO favorite bass Kevin Burdette ably performs the parts of both Gallimard’s boss, Manuel Toulon, and one of the judges in Gallimard’s espionage trial. The choral work, via Choral Master Susanne Sheston, is particularly effective, such as in the cocktail/gossip/singing/laughing scenes that open Acts 1 and 2.

The story is told in a series of flashbacks across time and space, conveyed through Greg Emetaz’s evocative projections. One particularly poignant moment occurs when Gallimard and Song are alone together in the night, surrounded by stars, truly intimate even in the face of their shared deceits.

The world has changed in many ways in the years since both the true events at the heart of the story and Hwang’s original play.

One key way is a radical shift in the way people view and understand gender. The opera incorporates that shift to present the issue of gender in a more contemporary intersectional manner and re-centers the story to more fully present Song’s perspective alongside Gallimard’s.

As Hwang noted in his comments prior to opening night, there is no Crying Game “gotcha” moment in M.Butterfly (there is nudity). Rather, he said, the story is now “about the way it is that lovers kind of create their own world, and they create a reality that works for them.”

Ultimately, the opera transcends its source material, finding universal and operatic themes in a very specific story that still grapples with the issues of gender and racial stereotyping. In his remarks, Ruo described the goal as attempting to see the world “through a drop of water” and in so doing “to tell a human story whether about whether one could see another person as truly who that person is.”

I Love My Dad Review The wrong kind of fatherly love

Fledgling filmmaker James Morosini (who has done a ton of acting in shows like American Horror Story and The Sex Lives of College Girls) comes out swinging with his directorial/screenwriting debut, I Love My Dad—a strange trip through the lives of an estranged father and son and a slight critique of how social media can connect us or tear us further apart.

Morosini also plays the lead here, the enigmatic Franklin who, following a failed suicide attempt, moves back in with his mother to try and get on with his life. We don’t learn the particulars of Franklin’s case, but we do know he’s a bit of a gaming nerd, he’s not quite healed and he’s set some healthy boundaries with his father, Chuck, (a brilliantly pathetic Patton Oswalt) after years of missed graduations, birthdays, etc. We learn about these things through a rather clever montage of voice mails from Chuck that will likely feel all too real to some viewers. Flailing and desperate, Chuck creates an online persona using photos nicked from a local diner waitress named Becca (Claudia Sulewski). The idea is that he’ll regain some semblance of closeness to his kid, but Franklin

+ THE CAST; THE MESSAGING - COULD PROVE TOO SUBTLE FOR SOME

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 fallout 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-billion 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. He, too, knows of the thing in the sky, and both he and the Haywoods hope to be the first to capitalize upon its appearance. There will be no winners.

BUT REAL; FUNNY BUT THOUGHTFUL - COULD HAVE GONE DEEPER INTO THE FALLOUT

ultimately falls in love with the fake young woman, and Chuck keeps the ruse going despite his better judgment.

Franklin perceives his new DM-based relationship as real-world exchanges with Becca, which come across as funny and silly at first, but ultimately devolve into scary, unhealthy and downright gross. This is where Morosini’s writing and acting chops work best, and Sulewski’s take on a ghostly non-person is a delight. Somehow, she manages to create a character we feel like we know without actually knowing, and played against Morosini’s sweet-but-damaged Franklin, it works. Oswalt, as always, is a delight. How can it be you’d still feel for a man who would have fake phone sex with his son, or who lies to his own girlfriend (a brief appearance from the inimitable Rachel Dratch) so easily? You do, though, and that might have something to do with how we all create our own personas and deploy

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. At first, this seems short-sighted—a bit of the old “just get out of the haunted house!”—but the longer their terse coexistence continues, the more we learn about how both camps are simply trying to get by. Their stations aren’t so different, really, and their shared desire to struggle less becomes a central sticking point. Why don’t they work together to survive? Perhaps because we’ve been trained to get our own, screw the other guy. 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.

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 horrifying 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.

them across various milieus, online and real-world.

Morosini reportedly based the film on his real-life relationship with his father, and one could probably wax poetic on how acting is a search for the truth.

Point is, it’s ballsy and relatable for those who struggle to reconcile with disparate ideas of their own fathers.

In other words, at what point do we perceive our parents as real people? The film even says something to the effect of, “He’s just some guy who ended up having a kid.” Through those feelings, Morosini takes us to the brink of despair and back out again. Families are complicated—hope might be the best some of us can do for now.

she does, allusions to kaiju and anime cinema pump up the badassery, and the intensity rises straight through to the climax.

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 questions and doomscrolling seem about right.

MURINA

7

+ STRONG DIRECTION - PACING COULD’VE BEEN TIGHTER

On an island off mainland Croatia, a land-owning family hopes to move to Zagreb. Paradise, it turns out, can be isolating, almost prison-like, and young Julija (Gracija Filipovic) learns this as the family patriach Ante (Leon Lucev) maintains his position as an emotionally abusive asshole as slimy as the eels the family hunts for sport. Ante wants to sell the family land to his old millionaire friend Javi (Cliff Curtis), but Julija has designs to escape her father’s rage before she’s trapped in it forever—if she plays her cards right, Javi might just take her away.

The only path to freedom is something far beyond the sea in Director Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic’s Murina, and Julija can envision it even if she’s unable to fully believe it. One may

not entirely buy the 20-year old Filipovic as a 15-year-old, but she constructs a fantastic pathos for a character walled off by a sort of manufactured hostility. Kusijanovic (who’s adapting her own short film Into The Blue) builds Julija’s prison beyond mere symbolism, where the waves rhythmically hit the coast and the towering cliffsides become claustrophobic. We long for Julija to escape, even if it means acting on the darker ideas that slide into her mind.

Murina is a great example of competent filmmaking, of every department working together toward a common goal—of a crew that seemingly believes in the project. It shouldn’t be novel, but that’s something that catches one’s attention these days when tricks, twists, CGI and franchising dictate cinematic trends. Murina is proper filmmaking with solid direction and a restrained cinematography style that sells the grandiosity of the region without relying on distracting camera motions.

Its thematic qualities could come across stronger, and first act pacing issues keep things kind of slow; Kusijanovic’s also sidesteps urgency in the buildup to its climax, but that doesn’t detract from its enticing simplicity.

With a well-deserved win at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival for Best First Feature (the Caméra d’Or award), Kusijanovic proves herself to be an up-and-coming director worth watching. The next thing will probably be a triumph.

SFR CLASSIFIEDS MIND BODY SPIRIT PSYCHICS Rob Brezsny

Week of August 3rd

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries poet Ada Limón advises us to notice and love “the music of the world.”

She says that praising and giving attention to the good things “are as important and necessary as witnessing and naming and holding the grief and sorrow that comes with being alive.” This is always a crucial principle to keep in mind, but it will be extra essential for you in the coming weeks. Your ability to attract the influences and resources you need most will thrive if you focus on and celebrate the music of the world. PS: I encourage you to sing more than usual, too.

how I define it for you during the coming weeks: 1. an openness to consider several different ways to capitalize on an opportunity, but to ultimately choose just one way; 2. the ability to see and understand all sides of every story, while also knowing that for pragmatism’s sake you must endorse a single version of the story; 3. the capacity to be both constructively critical and supportively sympathetic; 4. the facility to be welcoming and inviting while still maintaining healthy boundaries.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Life is enchanting for me because I have so much control over what I think,” my TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Here’s my hope for you in Scorpio friend Daria told me. “If I decide to flatter myself the coming months: You will cultivate a specialty for with comments about how attractive I am, I can do just connecting people and situations that need to be affiliat- that. If I would like to imagine a good fairy visiting me ed but aren’t yet. You will regard your flair for blending while I sleep and giving me a dream of having an orgasm as a gift you offer generously. Can you picture yourself with my lover while we fly over the Serengeti Plains, I doing that? I think it will be fun and will also benefit you can.” I asked her about the times when worries gush in unexpected ways. So here’s my proposed plan: forth unbidden from her subconscious mind and disturb Conspire to heal fragmentation and schisms. Unite her joy. She said, “I simply picture myself shoving those heavenly and earthly things. Keep the far side and the worries in a hole in the ground and blowing them up near side in touch with each other. Never let the past with an exploding rose.” I bring Daria’s mind-manageforget about the future, and vice versa. One more thing, ment expertise to your attention, Scorpio, because the Taurus: Be gleefully imaginative as you mix and conjoin coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to raise and combine. your mastery over what you think.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In a play by Gemini philoso- SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): People might impapher Jean-Paul Sartre, a character says, “Hell is other tiently advise you to relax and settle down. Others might people.” What did he mean by that? One interpretation tell you to stop dreaming such big visions and formulatis that our fellow humans always judge us, and their ing such adventurous plans. Still others might give you judgments rarely align with who we really are and who the side-eye because they imagine you are having too we imagine ourselves to be. Here’s my solution for that much fun and brainstorming too wildly and laughing too problem: Choose allies and companions whose views of loudly. If you receive messages like those, give the comyou match your own. Is that so hard? I suspect it will be plainers a copy of this horoscope. It will tell them that easier than usual for you in the coming months, Gemini.

YOU WILL NOT COMPLY WITH ANY INHIBITING Take advantage of life’s natural tendency to connect you DIRECTIVES. Your astrologer, me, authorizes you to be with cohorts who appreciate you. Be picky as you avoid as vast and venturesome and enterprising and spontathe hell of other people. neous as you dare. In doing so, I am speaking on behalf CANCER (June 21-July 22): The people most likely to of the cosmic rhythms. Your plucky audacity has been succeed as entrepreneurs are those with a high degree heavenly ordained. of analytical intelligence. Right? Well, it’s more compliCAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In accordance with cated than that. Reasoning ability and problem-solving astrological omens, I hereby authorize you to worry, skills are key skills, but not as important as emotional intelligence: the power to understand and manage feel- worry, and worry some more. Stew and simmer and ferment as you weigh all the options and mull the correct ings. I mention this, Cancerian, because the coming actions. But when the time is right, end your fretting months will be a favorable time to advance your ambitions by enhancing and expressing your emotional intel- with crisp decisiveness. Shake off any residual doubt that still clings to you. And then undertake robust action ligence. Here’s some reading to foster your powers: to transform the situation that provoked your righteous 1. tinyurl.com/EmotionSmarts brooding. In my astrological opinion, what I have just 2. tinyurl.com/SmartFeeler described is your best plan for success in the coming days.

3. tinyurl.com/WiseFeeler 4. tinyurl.com/BrightFeeler LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the coming weeks, Leo, I urge you to always be confident that YOU ARE THE PARTY! Everywhere you go, bring the spirits of fun and revelry.

Be educationally entertaining and entertainingly educational. Amuse yourself by making life more interesting for everyone. At the same time, be kind and humble, never arrogant or insensitive. A vital part of your assignment is to nourish and inspire others with your radiance and charm. That formula will ensure you get everything you need. I foresee bounty flowing your way! PS: Regularly reward your admirers and followers with your magnanimous Chesire-cat grin.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I was looking for a love unlike my parents’ love or my sister’s love or the love on a foreign kitchen floor,” writes Rebecca Dinerstein Knight in her novel The Sunlit Night. “I wanted to forgive my mother and father for their misery and find myself a light man who lived buoyantly and to be both his light and his dark.” I offer you her thoughts, Aquarius, in the hope of inspiring you to expand and deepen your ideas about the love you want. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to revise and reinvigorate your definitions of intimacy and togetherness. You will have extra power to see new truths about how best to create maximum synergy and symbiosis.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In my Astrological Book of Life, here’s what I have inscribed about Virgos: You may not always find the perfect solution, but you are skilled at finding the best solution available. This will be an especially valuable knack in the coming weeks, both for yourself and others. I trust you will scan for practical but compassionate answers, even if they are partial. And I hope you will address at least some of everyone’s needs, even if no one is completely satisfied. You can be the master of creative compromise that we all need. Thanks in advance for your excellent service!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Even raw and messy emotions can be understood as a form of light, crackling and bursting with energy,” writes Jungian psychoanalyst Clarissa Pinkola Estés. For example, “We can use the light of rage in a positive way, in order to see into places we cannot usually see.” Likewise, confusion might be a healthy sign that a long-held misunderstanding is dissolving. Disappointment may herald the demise of an unrealistic expectation. So let’s unleash a big cheer for raw and messy emotions, Pisces! I suspect they will soon be your gateway to clarity and renewal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Everyone knows that “balance” is a keyword for you Librans. However, there are many interpretations of what balance entails. Here’s
