Is the new Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center part of your plan?

When we built the new Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center and our clinic on St. Michael’s Drive, we built them for all of Santa Fe. We wanted to accept nearly all health plans, but some insurers chose not to provide access to our facility for their health plan members through 2019.

To receive services at the Santa Fe Medical Center and our St. Michael’s clinic, you might have to change your health plan during open enrollment. When you choose a plan that gives you access to Presbyterian, you get a hospital, an urgent care and a 24/7 ER all in one convenient location. Plus, you get access to our clinic for primary care and other appointments.

Make sure you have access to the choice you’ve been waiting for.

Call 505-SantaFe (505-726-8233) for up-to-date information on which health plans contract with Presbyterian.

NEWS, NOVEMBER 21: “CITY PAYS $1.4 MILLION IN TWO YEARS FOR CLAIMS AGAINST COPS”

HOLD ‘EM ACCOUNTABLE Police departments must be focused on community safety and ethical conduct.

My son, Kerry Lewis, was murdered in Albuquerque in 2009, and unfortunately it involved corrupt conduct by some APD, and cooperation by DA Brandenburg’s crew. ...

The tragic shooting of Benavidez reactivated pain because of the casual negligence of St. Vincent’s and the violent overkill reaction of SFPD. ... In August of 2007 my son suffered a breakdown and it took me two attempts to get SFPD to admit him into the psych hold at St. Vincent’s. He was discharged after the hold without support and he broke down again two weeks later in Boulder, where the university helped me to get him proper care. ...

So, the way Benavidez was mishandled hit me and the pain his family lives with, too. … Just as APD has had to, hopefully SFPD has improved their handling of mental problem situations.

Please keep emphasis and a spotlight upon police accountability, as they are intended to keep community safer, not add to tragedies. …

Media coverage is crucial to ethical policing, and therefore it is threatened by pressures from agencies and even editors.

My biggest disappointment and frustration has been the reluctance and refusal of local media to honestly report, so I am grateful for your integrity.

Practicing Undocumented Proposed New Mexico rule change would officially allow immigrants to work as lawyers regardless of federal status

BY J E F F P RO CTO R j e f f p r o c t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

nterpretation and enforcement of immigration laws seemingly change as fast as finicky weather patterns under President Donald Trump and his advisers, mostly a group self-styled “immigration hardliners.”

In some cases, the courts have thwarted the administration’s attempts at unilaterally limiting who can enter the United States. Contrarily, Trump, without evidence, continues to tout progress on “The Wall” along the nation’s southern border and, most recently, deployed US military forces to stop what he sees as an “invasion” of migrants from the south.

The uncertainty leads to big, philosophical questions on governance such as: How far does presidential power go when it comes to immigration policy?

In New Mexico, the charged debate over immigration has raised a narrower question for the state’s legal community. Should people in the United States illegally—regardless of whether they are eligible to hold jobs— be allowed to practice law here as long as they’ve passed the state bar exam?

The state Supreme Court is considering the question as a proposed rule change; it’s not clear when the justices will decide. If they adopt the change, New Mexico would join just a handful of states, including New York and California, to explicitly allow undocumented immigrants to practice law after passing a bar exam.

A small group of lawyers, led by Albuquerque-based Maureen Sanders, proposed the change.

Sanders declined to comment for this story, but Ed Chavez, who retired in March after 15 years as a state Supreme Court justice, was involved with the court’s admissions committee when the proposal came forward. He says the idea was born out of concern over Trump’s

more draconian and fiery immigration rhetoric and policies.

“The immigration issue is so volatile these days,” Chavez says. “So these lawyers wanted to protect people in New Mexico who want to be lawyers themselves from whatever might happen at the federal level. … My personal, philosophical response is that we ought to have this. This is a multicultural, multilingual border state. Even for me, I am grateful

Being a lawyer is based on character and skill, not some piece of paper that says you are allowed to be in some place.

for the accident of having been born here.

Being a lawyer is based on character and skill, not some piece of paper that says you are allowed to be in some place.”

Current New Mexico Supreme Court rules allow US citizens and some people not born in the country—including legal permanent residents and people “otherwise authorized to work lawfully in the United States”—to practice law in New Mexico.

The proposed new language is far more expansive, adding: “or an individual otherwise residing in the United States.

The Supreme Court may admit an applicant who is not lawfully present in the United States who is otherwise eligible for admission to practice law under this rule subject to the condition that the applicant have a contingent plan in the event of an inability to practice law.”

It’s not clear how many undocumented immigrants are practicing law in New Mexico already. The New Mexico Bar Association does not require prospective members to disclose immigration status. (“Undocumented immigrant” can mean

anything from those who crossed the border illegally to the so-called “Dreamers,” who were brought to the US as children without documentation.)

Two women, one of them a Dreamer, have spoken to New Mexico reporters to tell their stories of graduating law school as undocumented immigrants. At least one of them is working here as a defense lawyer, though it appears her status changed just before she was admitted to the bar.

“One thing’s for sure: There will be an adversarial response to whatever the court decides on this,” Chavez says “There’s going to be anger either way.”

Based on the public comments submitted to the court, Chavez is right. Published on the Supreme Court’s website, the proposed rule change brought more than 120 written comments from lawyers, advocacy groups, law students and others around the state during a comment period that closed in April. That dwarfs the number of comments on other proposed rule changes.

And those who wrote in had strong feelings.

Albuquerque attorney John Farrow opposes the change, writing that he is “sympathetic to those who are in this state illegally by no fault of their own,” but bethose people should become citizens be fore they’re allowed to practice law.

“I do not see how anyone who has failed to become a citizen or legal resident of this country can truthfully or honestly take the attorney’s oath” as required by a different Supreme Court rule, Farrow writes.

Stuart Bluestone, a retired Santa Fe proseculawyer who worked 34 years as a prosecu suptor and in other areas of law, writes in sup port of the change, reminding the justices that the principle of federalism allows them to expand rights for people in New Mexico beyond federal interpretations.

Bluestone added that the proposed change could result in a more diverse perspective among attorneys and help remedy a “grave injustice” taking place in New Mexico’s federal courts: that some immigrants, including children, do not have adequate access to lawyers in deportation cases.

“To the extent this new rule can help corprovide committed lawyers who can cor rect this injustice by serving as needed immilawyers for children and others in immi gration cases, the rule represents sound judgment and should be adopted,” he writes.

This story was published in collaboration with New Mexico In Depth, a SFR partner.

Looming Public Pension Bust

Fixing An $18 Billion Problem

B Y M AT T G R U B S m a t t g r u b s @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

The Problem

Retiree Health Care Authority

• Increase contributions from current employees and employers by 50 percent

$4.5 billion in unfunded liability Expenditures > revenues by 2022

The Solution

Fund depleted by 2037

The Problem

$7.5 billion in unfunded liability 70 years until fully funded

$22.7 million cost to state annually • Example: Employee making $40,000/year pays $200 more

Educational Retirement Board

• Increase employer contributions by 1 percent for three years $81 million cost to state annually

The Solution

• Raise minimum retirement age to 58 (55 now) • Request $248 million to settle pension lawsuit by union

Public Employees Retirement Association

The Problem

W

ith an estimated $1.2 billion available above this year’s budget—and off-the-cuff predictions of maybe $2 billion when a new estimate arrives next month—New Mexico lawmakers might expect their final planning meetings to be lighthearted as they consider an embarrassment of riches. That’s better than a sixth of the state budget, after all. Maybe as much as third.

And it’s all ready to spend.

One look at almost any public pension fund will cure that optimism.

This week, the Investments and Pensions Oversight Committee stared into the gaping maw that is the $18 billion gap between the benefits that public pensions and other programs owe to more than 200,000 current workers and retirees and what they can currently cover.

The Educational Retirement Board, the pension for former teachers and other educational professionals, won’t be fully funded for 70 years. For nearly all other public employees from cops to county clerks, their pension’s governing board hasn’t even decided what to do about the problem—one that’s grown by $1 billion just in the last fiscal year. When it comes to health care benefits for retirees, the state’s obligations are $4.5 billion more than its cash on hand.

All the while, bond rating agencies— which effectively set the cost for the state to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars each year for firehouses, libraries, senior centers, schools and other one-time expenditures—are watching closely to see if the state can, in the words of a Moody’s ratings analyst, stop “treading water.” The agency downgraded the state’s rating this summer.

The longer the state waits, experts say, the more it costs every one of the taxpayers who effectively back the bonds sold for all those projects.

It’s not as though New Mexico hasn’t seen this coming, or hasn’t tried to fix it before.

In 2010, the educators’ fund stiffened retirement requirements. In 2013, lawmakers and the governor passed a pension reform package that pushed

Retirement for new public employees won’t be as lucrative

$6 billion in unfunded liability No more than 75 percent funded for next 30 years

back insolvency. But because, at least in part, the reforms impact primarily new employees, it will likely be an estimated two decades before the funds start to see the benefit of the changes.

That means the 2013 reform package is working, according to Wayne Propst, the executive director of the Public Employees Retirement Association. The problem, he told legislators, is “getting between here and there over the next 20 years.”

Jan Goodwin, who leads the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board, told lawmakers that if the state can shore up the ERB’s fund with a series of changes

designed to get it fully funded in 30 years as opposed to 70, it can make a huge dent in the $50 billion it would cost to cover the gap between contributions and benefits paid out over that period of time.

It’s a somewhat complicated equation, but in essence, the more money the state can throw at the problems now, the more time the power of compounded interest and investment earnings will have to shore up the funds. Right now, funds like the ERB aren’t taking in enough money to cover the benefits they’re paying out, as well as to chip away at the multi-billion-dollar deficits they have. So instead SFREPORTER.COM

of the problem getting better, it’s getting worse.

All the while, bond rating agencies are lurking like a bully around the corner, ready to sock the state’s costs to fund all those school projects and senior centers.

To avoid the gut-punch, two of the three funds have proposed changes to retirement rules, with the PERA board expected to recommend fixes after an emergency meeting in December.

That’s where all the extra money predicted for New Mexico next year comes in.

The Retiree Health Care Authority wants to boost contributions to its fund from public agencies over the next two years. That would ultimately cost $22.7 million per year. While the state does that, it would also ask current employees to pay more to the fund starting in two years. The effect of that change would be enough, the authority predicts, to keep it solvent into the second half of this century.

The Educational Retirement Board wants to make a series of changes to bring itself to full funding in 30 years.

They include weighting pension benefits toward teachers who decide to stay in New Mexico longer, adding three years to the retirement age at which teachers can quit without losing benefits, and boosting what employers pay toward retirement by 3 percent over three years—thus adding $81 million to the state’s costs every year.

The Public Employees Retirement Association is stuck. It still can’t decide what to do. The most likely scenario includes freezing cost-of-living increases to retirees for three years. The fund has been overpaying those adjustments for years, with retirees getting their monthly payments boosted by more than the rate of inflation. The board is also kicking around the idea of asking for a lump sum injection of around $100 million into the fund.

Something has to be done, warned Sen. George Muñoz, D-Gallup, or the bond rating agencies will ding the state again.

Often, Muñoz acknowledged, the most meaningful changes like reducing costof-living payments or trimming benefits for future public employees are wildly unpopular with workers. What’s more, New Mexico sees the right to a public pension as akin to property rights. A few years ago, the state diverted money designated for pension funds to help patch huge holes in the state budget. The public employees union AFSCME sued, arguing the state infringed on that retirement right. Now, as part of a settlement, the funds are asking for more than a quarter of a billion dollars to be injected back into the retirement accounts.

T

he field of cartography— the study and practice of map-making—hovers in a murky zone between science and art.

A map can record empirical data, from topography to population demographics, but plotting or reading that information is a wildly subjective process. When we examine a visual depiction of a familiar place, it’s inevitably laden with personal memories and communal histories. In other words, no two Santa Feans can read a map of their home in the same way. Early this year, four local artists embarked on a 10-month mapping experiment based on this premise.

The project spans neighborhoods and artistic mediums, but it started on a plot of land at the city’s heart that may dramatically shape Santa Fe in the coming years.

The property known as the midtown campus has been mapped many times since the Santa Fe University of Art and Design shut down last May. The City of Santa Fe still owns the 64-acre plot off St. Michael’s Drive, so the Office of Economic Development invited architects to develop ideas for what it could become. Five firms overlaid images of the zone with renderings of housing units, shopping malls, community centers, parks and even a new plaza.

Meanwhile, Yvette Serrano was perhaps the last person using the campus for what it used to be. She had graduated from SFUAD’s graphic design program in the nick of time, and managed to keep the key to her studio on the southern edge of the property. When the locks were finally changed in response to looting on the shuttered campus, the Santa Fe Art Institute had offered her a fellowship. She got a new workspace right next door.

Serrano is one of four participants in the new Story Maps fellowship established by SFAI, a nonprofit arts center with offices on the southwestern corner of the midtown campus. Story Maps invites local creatives—all people of color at an early stretch of their artistic careers—to collaborate with different City of Santa Fe departments and map their community in radical ways. Serrano was paired with the Office of Affordable Housing, so the future of the campus was top of mind when the fellowship began last February.

“It’s this void,” Serrano says.

She’s looking down at her own depiction of the midtown campus, which is nothing like the jamYvette Serrano packed proposals the city received. subtracted the Serrano’s is a grainy aerial photo of midtown campus from a map of Santa Santa Fe with a lopsided polygon Fe in an artwork excised from its center, leaving a titled “Blueprint.” gaping hole in place of the campus.

Serrano, who worked with the Office of Affordable Housing for Story Maps, points out the central question of her sticky note map: “Home doesn’t have to be a place,” she says.

going to remember that we went to school over there somewhere.”

By manually clearing the drawing board, Serrano calls attention to the politically charged nature of the development effort. The midtown campus isn’t empty land to be sculpted, but a geographically central and historically significant space that sits on a jagged divide of a racially segregated city. It is bordered by traditionally Latinx neighborhoods and a commercial district that’s a constant target for redevelopment efforts. In Serrano’s work, the potential development represents a civic reckoning for Santa Fe. “The main thing for me is that the community—the people who are impacted by all of these things—should have the input,” she says. “How do we get to the people, versus them getting to meetings and all of that? People are not just going to show up.”

The Santa Fe Art Institute has emerged as a key player in this conversation: The institute collaborated with City of Santa Fe to solicit the proposals for the property. Executive Director Jamie Blosser and her team sought to elevate multifaceted stories like this as they conceptualized Story Maps.

“We all have complex histories and identities, which intersect in places like the campus,” says Blosser. “Sometimes the narratives that we think are related to a place are completely inaccurate. How can [artists] identify the places we inhabit in different ways?

How do those places transform us?”

Blosser and her team developed the program over a year and a half, and se-

cured funding from the Ford Foundation’s Art of Change to initiate it. They gave each artist a $10,000 stipend and recruited a team of local, established artists to mentor the fellows through the process. The pilot round is nearly complete, and the participants present their projects in an exhibition and open studio this Friday at SFAI. The institute is already looking ahead to the program’s second year: An application for Story Maps 2019 is available at sfai.org, and due by Dec. 7. For this story, Serrano and the other inaugural Story Maps fellows—Mya Green, Terran Last Gun, and Heidi Brandow—designed covers and inserts that offer complex and revelatory visions of Santa Fe.

Economic Development

Just inside the door of the Santa Fe Art Institute’s Lumpkins Community Studio, the headquarters for the Story Maps fellowship, two large maps are tethered together by a river of colorful threads. One is a world map, the other shows the City of Santa Fe. “I asked people to mark where they were born, where they moved here from, and where they live in the city,” says Mya Green, pointing at thumbtacks on each map with strings stretched between them. “As you can see, there weren’t very many people who were from Santa Fe.” Green moved here two years ago from Baltimore, Maryland, so she’s part of that group. She conducted the dual map survey at a Story Maps open studio last summer, and noticed some clear trends in her data.

“Look at this concentration that came from the East Coast,” she says.

“And most people who participated now live in midtown. I got almost no one from the Southside, not a lot from the downtown area. I think it speaks to who comes to events like this.”

In many ways, Story Maps seems specifically designed for Green. She’s a poet and writer by trade with an MFA from Sarah Lawrence University, and has never lived in one place for more than five years. Her mother is a scholar and university administrator who moved the family across the world throughout Green’s childhood. Green knows how to land in a place, analyze its values and mores, and expose them in concrete poems that are literal and conceptual labyrinths.

“With the maps, I’m focused on what will be visually impactful in a curious way,” she explains. “That’s also how I feel about my poems. They’re kind of puzzles.”

Green has thus strategized about how to access different sectors of the community. She was paired with the Office of Economic Development, and attended a series of events during which the department solicited feedback from the community about the midtown campus proposals.

“They held these things all across the city, and about 100 people showed up per day,” says Green. “Most of those people were over 65, wealthy and white. The city was saying they wanted to cater to 18- to 45-year-olds who will diversify and stimulate the economy, but the data set they put together didn’t represent that at all.”

In an attempt to flip the paradigm, Green initiated an event series designed to attract her own cohort. “What do millennials love? Food and drink,� she says. She planned two brunches under the title Desire Project, asking attendees to map out their hopes and dreams—and challenging them to examine how the rest of the community might be affected if those wishes were granted. “My thing was moving from the personal to the sociocultural to the community context,� Green explains. “Sure, you want your wildest dreams to come true, but what does that mean in the context of your community? If these things are

made available to me, how does that affect another person’s wildest dreams?�

At the first brunch, Green ran into a participation problem again. Thirty people signed up for the experience; only 10 showed up. The second brunch had a similar turnout. “I was afraid of that,� she says, “because I didn’t want for the city to say, ‘Well, this is anecdotal and invalid.’�

She created another map using the data from the events, marking different places in the community that represent the desires of the participants. The spread is much wider than that of Green’s double map survey, dotting every district of Santa Fe and circling its outskirts.

Terran Last Gun examines sketches and serigraphs he created in the midst of a 10-month-long conversation with the Mobile Integrated Health Office.

“The people who did come to the brunches came away with a greater cultural understanding of each other,� she says.

Green is preparing a dining room installation for this week’s exhibition, in the hope of inviting more people to the table.

American Indian Arts. He graduated in 2016 with a BFA in museum studies and an associate’s degree in studio arts. Now he’s a full-time artist, and mounted his first solo exhibition at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts earlier this year. He was born and raised in Browning, Montana, on the Blackfeet Reservation.

At SFAI, Last Gun’s mapping process started with little clues on scraps of paper. For confidentiality reasons, his project partners at the Mobile Integrated Health Office can only share short passages of their incident reports. “I have to return them when I’m done so they can destroy them,� Last Gun says. He pulls a bundle of reports from his backpack. One reads, “Sister found her brother on the porch shaking after hearing loud thump outside. This caused a 10 mm full thickness laceration over the right eye.�

MIHO, which started in 2016 as a pilot program by the Santa Fe Fire Department, takes a systemic approach to emergency response. Mental health practitioners are dispatched on emergency calls alongside firefighters, police and paramedics. Their primary mission, however, is to provide preventative care for citizens who frequently call 911. “Reading the narratives of what they do was totally overwhelming,� says Last Gun. “These stories were an eye-opener for me to learn about the community, and what problems we face that a lot of people don’t really know about.�

He continues, “We definitely have similar issues to what MIHO works with,� speaking of his homeland in Montana. “I started learning the dispatch codes that they were using, which I assume are similar for people in my hometown dealing with substance abuse, homelessness and behavioral health issues.�

The artist produces a piece of paper with four images printed on it and places it atop the stack of incident reports. The photographs are self portraits that show Last Gun wearing a geometric headpiece

MAPPING THE DIVIDE

TERRAN LAST GUN

Terran Last Gun’s project used 2017 emergency data from the Santa Fe Fire Department and the Mobile Integrated Health Office (MIHO).

The figures represent various codes.

inspired by Indigenous ceremonial dress and minimalist sculpture, and holding a sign with a dispatch code on it. They’re solemn reenactments of reports that resonated with him. A corresponding screen print lists the significance of each code, along with the number of calls the city received for that code in 2017. It looks like the key for a map. “There were 1,304 ‘man down’ calls and 885 ‘psych’ calls,” Last Gun says. “I compared those numbers to building fires, which was only 46.”

Early in the fellowship, Last Gun spent

The artist strolls over to a series of drawings pinned to the studio wall. The works use symbols to map out different stages of the emergency dispatch Last Gun witnessed. Circles scattered across the paper represent the shifting positions of the boy, his mother, and the emergency personnel. Red and green lightning bolts that cut across the sketches chart the paths of different responders. Last Gun had never produced work related to social issues before Story Maps, but found a way to adapt his minimal style and create highly unconventional maps. “[MIHO] thinks it’s a great project, and I think it helped [them] see the work they do in a new way,” Last Gun says. “When I first started working with them, they wanted me to create a resource booklet for the department. I was like, ‘I’m not an intern here, I’m an artist fellow.’”

These stories were an eye-opener for me to learn about the community, and what problems we face that a lot of people don’t really know about.

Parks Division

One week before the Story Maps exhibition opening, Heidi Brandow has mostly created auditory maps.

She usually works in painting and photography, but the fellowship inspired her to practice her interview skills. Brandow started her process by recording Parks Division employees and community members as they spoke broadly about their experiences in Santa Fe’s parks. (Full disclosure: Brandow shows her artwork at the gallery this writer directs, form&concept, though the work she produces for Story Maps will not appear there.)

“Then I was talking to Jamie [Blosser], and she brought up the memorials housed within the parks system,” Brandow says. “I started researching all of these memorials, and broke them down by de-

10 to 15 hours a week at the MIHO office, but he only got to tag along for one emergency dispatch. “We were checking out the parks, which is where a lot of MIHO’s homeless clients stay, and a call came in,” Last Gun says. “It was a psych call about an 11-year-old boy. Recess had ended, and he was trying to hurt himself because he didn’t want it to end.

“It was incredible to see how many resources came,” Last Gun continues. “There were two police vehicles, a firetruck, an ambulance and us. MIHO helped de-escalate the situation, and then we waited until his mom arrived.”

mographic information: ethnicity, era, medium, the genders of the artists who were commissioned to do the work.” She wasn’t particularly surprised to discover that a disproportionate number of men have been memorialized—and have created memorials—in the city’s parks. The data she compiled about Indigenous representation was more of a shock.

“Of the 65 or 70 memorials that are on the city’s designated list, only four are actually dedicated to Native people,” Brandow says. “The obelisk on the Plaza is one of those four—it’s considered a Native monument. I was like, ‘This is not okay.’”

The obelisk in question originally featured the inscription, “To the heroes who have fallen in the various battles with savage Indians in the Territory of New Mexico.” The monument was dedicated in 1868, and though someone chiseled the word “savage” off of the piece in 1974, it’s far from a tribute to Native culture.

Brandow is Native Hawaiian and Diné. She spent her early childhood in Hawaii, and attended high school in Santa Fe. She’s lived here off and on for over two decades, but her work with Story Maps radically altered her view of the community.

“I like to think that we’re a little more up on stuff than the rest of the country,” Brandow says.

“At the end of the day, we’re not talking about it enough, even here. It’s

such a difficult conversation to have, especially if you’re part of a group that’s either the oppressor or the oppressed.

How do you start that conversation, and how do you do it in a way that’s respectful and productive?”

Brandow’s narrowed the topic of her interview series, asking Santa Feans of Indigenous descent to imagine memorials they’d like to see in city parks, and collected their responses as audio recordings, videos and written letters. One person suggested a memorial to Native captives who were sold in Santa Fe’s slave markets; another suggested a monument to the historic agricultural communities

of Apodaca Hill. For Story Maps, Brandow is building a website that includes all of the testimonials. As a whole, they present a bold cultural perspective on who— and what—should be memorialized.

“I had a gentleman talk about a living memorial to corn, beans and squash, which are plants that were the main source of sustenance for this whole region,” Brandow says. “It was interesting to be reminded that if Native people had more of a voice in this process, that memorials either wouldn’t be in existence, or if they were, they’d be more about place rather than an individual or event.”

Affordable Housing

Yvette Serrano is the only Story Maps fellow from Santa Fe. “When I first interviewed for the fellowship, I talked about all of these memories of different neighborhoods, especially Agua Fría and Siler,” Serrano says.

Her mother is from Guatemala and her dad is from Mexico. They met at Jackalope on Cerrillos Road in the 1980s, where she sold her weavings and he dealt Mexican ceramics. When Serrano was a small child, the family lived in a trailer park off Zafarano Road.

“It’s where the Best Buy is now,” Serrano says.

She pulls out an enormous sheet of paper with family photos from the trailer park running across it. The images are cropped and stitched together, creating a choppy panorama. “There’s no photo of our actual trailer, but this was our neighbor’s,” Serrano says, pointing at one of the images. Like her map of the midtown campus, this piece features a central ele-

ment that’s both present and missing.

Because of her local roots, Serrano says teaming up with the Office of Affordable Housing felt natural. Early in the fellowship, she visited the domestic abuse agency Esperanza Shelter and created a flowchart of the factors forcing battered women and families onto the streets.

Later, she began visiting the Interfaith Community Shelter at Pete’s Place on Cerrillos Road.

“I’ve been going twice a week for about two months,” she tells SFR. “I go on resource days, which is when a lot of the people go to either shower, get a meal, or go to the closet. That’s where you’ll see everyone in one place.”

Instead of producing audio recordings of her conversations in the shelter, she scribbled down quotes and made sure to preserve the anonymity of the speaker.

Sometimes no one was willing to talk to her, so she’d sit and sketch people. The materials she gathered became a zine, which she’ll present at the Story Maps exhibition.

“In the beginning I thought, ‘What’s the point of doing this? No one trusts anybody. How are we supposed to begin if we don’t even have that?’” Serrano says. “But then, the more I went, it’s gotten a little bit easier. I feel like things can change, and we have that opportunity.

It’s just that getting everyone in the same room is so hard.”

Perhaps all Santa Fe needs to come together is a good map.

economic justice is a just transition to what will involve more technologically mediated labor markets and jobs.’ Can you expand on what you’re saying?

That part of the project [through the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education] is part of a set of industry studies to get a handle on [what technologies] in the next five to 10 years are coming online, who might first adopters be, and then to try to work with big organizing groups on what kind of policies might help shape these technologies. One of the things the Amazon workers in Minnesota were trying to push back against were very high productivity requirements. If you have a computer setting the standards for how fast you should be picking any set of items, that’s clearly not going to work for every human body. … Bill Gates has proposed a robot tax for every robot that replaces a human. … That’s controversial, but it’s an idea. … If you have a workplace where workers structurally have a voice … you could engage the people who know the most about the work that’s being done.

There are creative ways we should be thinking about this so that we’re not saying, ‘Oh my god, the robots are coming, we should get a universal basic income because no one is going to have a job.’

I’m not against universal basic income, but there are lots of other ways we could think about trying to make sure that workers, especially low-wage workers, don’t totally lose out. Sometimes people will say, ‘You’re just against technology.’

I’m not. A lot of us on the left are not against technology, but we’ve seen the ways that technology can wreak havoc for those who don’t have power and are vulnerable.

#CyberMonday may have passed, but the holiday season is in full force—and with it, the often-invisible impact on workers.

Beth Gutelius is a Santa Fe-based senior research specialist at the Great Cities Institute at the University of Illinois. Her academic and consulting career focuses on urban economic development and the changing nature of employment, with a specific focus on warehouses. The following interview has been edited for clarity, concision and style.

You also were recently quoted in a New York Times story about Somali workers at an Amazon warehouse in Minnesota who successfully negotiated with the company because the negotiating group was so dense Amazon would have had trouble replacing them at peak season. Are there lessons to be learned from that particular situation?

For some of the research I do, I talk to employers and people who run warehouses.

Everyone says there is a labor shortage, a labor crisis. No warehouse can find all of the workers it needs right now, … so to replace 60 percent of your workforce or some major part of your workforce would be really difficult. In that case, Amazon’s desire to have particular kinds of workers, target particular kinds of workers, is backfiring a little bit. Warehouses in gen-

ART OPENING FRI/30 TWO SCENES TWIRLED INTO ONE Magical realism is one of the most difficult literary devices to get right (thanks for setting that bar so high, Gabriel García Márquez)—and accordingly, photography that employs the idea can all too easily slip into the realm of crappy mashup jobs trying to inject fantasy into everyday life.

Photographer Tom Chambers is here to show us how it’s done, creating unreal partial narratives in his epic photographs. Getting goats to read books or ravens to perch calmly on folks’ heads is most easily done via Photoshop, so, with great care taken to make sure each piece of his digital photo montages has the same lighting, he takes a month or more to piece them together onscreen.

LECTURE SAT/1

A Sense of History Darryl Lorenzo Wellington on the history minstrelsy and its impact today When Childish Gambino’s video for the song “This is America” was released earlier this year, there was no small amount of dissection of its messaging, and everyone kept coming back to the same thing: Racism and anti-black rhetoric and actions are alive and well in America. And though there is so much to discuss and unpack on the topic, an upcoming interactive talk and reading with local writer, poet and thinker Darryl Lorenzo Wellington takes aim at one specific chapter of America’s history of racism: minstrelsy, an element cleverly portrayed in Gambino’s video.

A tragically hurtful and evil form of entertainment developed in the early 19th century, minstrelsy sought, through the perpetuation of dangerous black stereotypes, blackface, misinformation and iconography, to discredit black Americans and otherwise portray them as idiots. It was meant, believe it or not, to be funny.

“Minstrelsy by its very nature involves appropriation,” Wellington tells SFR. “They’ll often bring up this recent incident with Megyn Kelly, the journalist who claimed blackface was OK when she was younger—I think such claims are disSFREPORTER.COM

ingenuous; you may not know the exact history, but images have meaning, like a swastika has meaning. It’s obvious these images are very volatile, but we can work through that.”

Wellington says he’ll provide events and context from the history of minstrelsy, and that he’ll also read from his poems and essays among some of the works currently on display in the CCA Tank Garage, including paper negatives by David Scheinbaum addressing black culture and racism.

“In its own time, minstrelsy was a popular entertainment, and we live with the after-effects of it,” Wellington says. “People have this imagery of the past, that it must have only belonged to the KKK or the hardcore racists, but nothing could be less true. My goal is always the same goal: to have people better understand my perspective.” (Alex De Vore) DARRYL LORENZO WELLINGTON: RACE, STEREOTYPES AND MINSTRELSY 6 pm Saturday Dec. 1. $5-$10.

S FR E P O RTE R .CO M /M US I C

Mark Ettingoff (left) locks the beat down while Ivan Antonio (right) shreds during The Bed Band’s set at Gnar Fest.

And You Can Too Yours truly tripped out to LA to find out just how achievable some dreams are

BY LUKE HENLEY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

want to break form for about 800 words this week and level with you.

Making music is hard. A lot of times it’s not even fun. And it can be discouraging to put your energy, time and money into what a lot of people are going to tell you sounds like a fun hobby—generally before asking what you really want to do with your life. But a lot of you have been doing it anyway, and many of you have been doing it a lot longer than I have (about 17 years) and, also like many of you, I recently traveled outside the walls of our desert town to see what the far reaches of the United States had to say about my mettle as a traveling musician.

In my case, this meant traveling to Los Angeles to play bass and sing backup in Ivan Antonio’s psychedelic pop outfit The Bed Band.

The three of us making up Antonio’s live lineup (he performs all instruments and vocals on his recorded material) have individually followed the garage and rock scene(s) for years. Labels like Fullerton, California-based Burger Records and Memphis, Tennessee’s Goner Records, as well as artists like Laguna Beachbased garage rock statesman Ty Segall, have inspired each of us to keep pursuing

gigs that don’t pay and audiences that don’t show up—all with hopes that some day we might be able to set up home recording studios we can also sleep in. Such was the dream of Burger’s sibling label Gnar Tapes, whose founder Rikky Gage invited The Bed Band to play the label’s annual music festival, Gnar Fest. The event’s modest budget had already been fixed, so we would not be paid—and in fact, it would end up costing us money to play for 30 minutes alongside California crushers such as Gage’s party punk band White Fang and the dreamy slack pop act Tomorrow’s Tulips, who were headlining.

What else could we do? We took the gig.

How did a band from Santa Fe with just over 300 Facebook likes get this invitation? The “no worries, sounds cool” response to the lack of pay helped, but it was thanks mostly to Instagram and Gnar Tapes’ now-defunct weekly livestream Gnar Tapes Gnight Live, which invited weekly music video submissions and featured The Bed Band twice. The label’s social media presence lends a certain approachability, even as it grows and diversifies; Gnar Tapes even worked with Comedy Central recently on the hilarious web series Gnarnia. These musicians have managed to create their own record label and sustain themselves enough to tour extensively in the US and interna-

tionally with several projects, but even after all that, they still seemed to just kind of be guys in a band.

That is exactly how it felt being at Gnar Fest. No one was getting famous at the well-attended (but not overcrowded) two-stage affair, but some acts I never thought I’d see live shared the space with me. It felt like a big party—even if tall cans of PBR were $13 each.

The Bed Band played early in the evening to a side stage audience of about 20

exemplified the sort of crooning pop at once dripping with irony and stomping on your toes with its earnestness. The performance was generous even while antagonizing, complete with one of the most harrowing trust falls I have ever witnessed and clouds of baby powder coating band and audience alike.

Californian singer-songwriter Brendan Sepe’s new band Venetian Blinds set a new bar for low-speed high-intensity lyricism. Sepe’s affecting baritone and commanding presence brought some much-needed pathos to the partying. White Fang closed the night with their recent bizzaro-rock single “Big Silly Baby,” a sort of Zappa-meets-Faith No More hybrid.

As the crowd dispersed and we loaded gear into the rental car, I sought out Izak Arida from White Fang and pop ballad mercenaries The Memories (seriously, they’ll write and record a song for you for $100). Arida acted as our sort of rock camp counselor, making sure we were taken care of. As I gave him one last word of thanks, he gave me a brotherly hug, wished us well and asked us to come back sometime.

So yeah, it’s hard making music and it can wind up feeling lonely. But you can make the world smaller than it seems. What you don’t accrue in riches you’ll more than make up for with the good things in life—good tunes and new buds.

How did a band from Santa Fe with just over 300 Facebook likes get this invitation? people, and we noticed halfway through our set that LA/San Diego’s Tomorrow’s Tulips were hanging out watching our set with what read to us as enthusiasm. After all, they could have just walked away, and I feel confident that no one playing the early slots at Coachella can expect Radiohead to come check them out. In other words, I will take the downscaling if it means one of my favorite bands hangs out while I play.

Other highlights included a set from Chicago’s Jimmy Whispers that

Art House’s Digital Artifacts strikes sublime tone between past, present and future

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

“

was thinking about back when we began with the personal computer, and how it didn’t begin to affect my life personally at all until the 1990s,” says Kathleen Richards, exhibitions manager for Art House, the Carl and Marilynn Thoma Foundation’s gallery space. “That was the beginning of this massive change in our world, our history; we’re moving so quickly, and I’ve thrown away several computers—but should I have? They go from being a useful object to old and redundant to a potentially valuable artifact that might be used to power a work of art or some amazing creation.”

This idea permeates Digital Artifacts, Art House’s newest installation from Curator of Digital Art Jason Foumberg, an exquisite merging of fine art and disparate technologies. Small in scope but endlessly exciting, Artifacts is a bit of a mashup of archaeology and anthropology with works making use of current and long-standing tech—think HDTVs, projectors, printing processes and even hand-stitching—for simple yet astounding statements.

Take New York City-based artist Michal Rovner, who projects ghostly shadows onto a rock he discovered in his homeland of Israel in “Dahul.” At first glance, the piece looks like motionless and ancient cave drawings, but as the viewer scans its face longer, they’ll notice subtle movements from the figures. “Dahul” is presented within a glass case, a symbol of its importance as artifact, but ultimately playing on our expectations and notions of artistic values.

COURTESY TIM REED

Painter Tim Reed is a bit of a hippie, but not in an obnoxious way. He’s a lover of nature, animals and psychedelia.

Reed is an illustrator, sculptor and painter in tune with the heartbeat of the universe, and though it’s been a year or two since we’ve seen an exhibition from him, we knew we had to chat about his upcoming show Oxagwan alongside Chandler Wigton at Freeform Artspace (5 pm Saturday Dec. 1. Free. 1619 C de Baca Lane, 692-9249). Learn more about Reed and his work at deermit.com, or from the Qs below. (Alex De Vore) How do I pronounce the name of this show?

It has a familiarity with octagon. Freeform asked me if I wanted to be in the show, and I’d never met Chandler, but we connected, we hit it off, and we started to come up with a show title, without any foundation for an idea. And I thought it might be cool since me and Chandler don’t have a relationship yet, to maybe use a word that didn’t have a meaning, a made-up word. And actually, I’m pretty sure my wife came up with it. I can’t really remember how it came up, I was just scribbling and doodling words, and she said it or something like it. I told Chandler, and he liked it, and we just rolled with it. Both of us are very comfortable in open processes. And because we didn’t have much time for the show, it made sense to just do stuff. We’re open to the chance happenings of process—things just happen and you go with it.

RAILYARD URGENT CARE and deliver excellent care in the heart of Santa Fe. Open 7 days a week, 8am – 7pm

Did that idea of openness influence the body of work you prepared for the show?

Absolutely. But I don’t think either one of us knows what’s going to be in the show yet. Our plan is just to bring as much stuff as we can and do somewhat of a non-standard installation. We’re going to really freestyle; bring stuff, vibe out. It’s a really interesting cool space. There might be a really small amount of stuff that I’ve exhibited already, but there’s also going to be a lot of stuff that’s brand new. I’ll be painting right up until the opening. It’s going really well. I’ve grown.

So when you say you’ve grown…

It’s been a great success for me to work at a different pace. The process is all about growing in general.

For instance, there are always plants in my studio and caring for plants is a big deal, a huge part of me making art. It’s been a long, long, decades-long process becoming a painter, or to produce paintings as I see myself producing paintings. And it’s not just a relationship with the materials, but with the world.

I don’t know how to put it, it’s outside of the language I use—that’s why I put it in a painting and not a book.

I hope you can walk up to one of my paintings and get lost, like an old castle in a foreign country where you’re allowed to just wander, and you keep seeing things you don’t recognize or that you never thought of until just then.

Railyard Urgent Care is Santa Fe’s only dedicated urgent care clinic operating on a solely walk-in basis, 7 days a week, to ensure excellent medical care with the shortest possible wait times.

in the film, but it doesn’t need to be two scenes onstage. Additionally, Muldoon mined the film acting community in Albuquerque for the large cast, and some of the performers were clearly not as used to performing onstage and lacked the volume necessary to fill the performance space.

But ultimately, any reservations I had about the transition from screen to stage and back again were overshadowed by the engrossing story and remarkable dedication Muldoon, Sanchez and their huge team gave the project. As the story tumbled along, it perhaps jumped the shark a few times, but Muldoon assures me later it’s still in development and after every performance they tweak lines or shift bits of the story. (I can’t voice my biggest hang-ups without spoilers, so I’ll just let you guess them when you see it.)

While the depictions of white-knuckle train rides in first-class cars with Nazi officers are engaging and flashy, perhaps most fascinating—both for Muldoon and for audiences—are the resulting musings on the things we do to save ourselves. The struggles against racism and oppression by other people make for the framework of this story, but the internal conflict Strauss encountered and the guilt she faced for the rest of her life, until her death in 1996, lend the character and her story even more depth.

There’s an entirely separate review to be written here, of course, about Muldoon’s aforementioned Gentile background and the steps she and the cast took to respectfully depict a Jewish woman, as considwell as Muldoon’s own carefully consid ered reasons for devoting so much of her life to a story that, in many ways, is not hers to tell. (Notable, too, is Muldoon’s prominent use of lines from “Lady Lazarus” by Sylvia Plath, almost self-referential regarding the appropriation conflict.)

The universal humanness of Marianne’s struggle is what drew Muldoon in, though, and what makes the production fascinating no matter who you are; the clipping combination of epic poem, feminist antimythology and grisly history lesson is worth all 200-plus minutes.

The performance is about two and a half hours, and with a talk-back afterward, the evening ran about four hours long—which meant, at a performance earlier this month at a church in Albuquerque, audiences didn’t leave until nearly 11 pm. The energetic story, however, made it bearable.

A fictionalized account of a real life, Phantom shows how Marianne Strauss, a young woman from a well-known Jewish family in Essen, Germany, survived for two years during the Holocaust by charming and seducing the Nazis that were hunting her. Not only did she play her “woman card” and bat her eyelashes, but Strauss sometimes went so far as to suggest she was a spy who reported directly to Hitler, and she’d tell the Führer if his SS officers were behaving badly.

ACTING OUT

armed SS guards directing them to pack their belongings momentarily stepped out of the room. (Sounds like something Muldoon made up for the movie; is actually true.)

Indeed, even I find myself calling it “the movie” or “the film” when I think about it.

It was dressed in a play’s clothing, but was not a play. Sometimes it worked; the use of projected drawings of how the scene will appear onscreen was a nice illustrative element when paired with actors on a stark stage. Sometimes, however, it hovered in a weird place between staged reading and full production that left me scratching my head.

When I asked Muldoon why she didn’t make a play a play and a movie a movie, she (perhaps defensively, but reasonably so) countered that she spent 13 months writing this version of the screenplay, and that surely turning it into a script could take the same amount of time over again, if not longer. That’s much more time than she wants to spend on what is perhaps just a transitional period for the story. And it wasn’t that it didn’t work; but certainly there were moments it could have been easier to watch and to perform.

For example, near the beginning, the narrator reads, “The gestapo boys aim their guns”—and the two actors onstage (you guessed it) aim their guns. Or, when Marianne arrives at a neighbor’s door, and a few-second “scene” onstage of her standing at the door is followed by a blackout, then the next “scene” shows her sitting in the living room—why not just walk in and sit down? Yes, it will be two shots

@THEFORKSFR

The little building on the corner of Guadalupe Street and Montezuma Avenue has been a lot of things over the years. But with Paloma, it has finally become the upscale neighborhood restaurant that feels like a home. Nothing is forced here, perhaps because it seems owner Marja Martin has considered everything. The Mexican restaurant is not too loud, nor is it whisper-quiet. You can hide in a corner of the bar or dine in the open with friends. There’s no part of the menu that gets short shrift. Cocktails are elegantly crafted, highlighted by the pisco sour ($9) and an old fashioned that uses vanilla cherry bark bitters instead of Angostura ($11).

It’s creative, but not overbearing. So, too, with the three different ceviches ($14-16) and a trio of taco options (all $6) that come on hand-pressed tortillas.

Vegetarian options appear at nearly every turn. Chef Nathan Mayes’ entrees begin with squash blossom enmoladas ($20), in which the tortillas are dragged through a tangy mole before being rolled. The braised short ribs ($24) come with an elote torte, while the terrifically flavored sea bass ($26) is offered Veracruz-style, with tomatoes, olives and mojo verde. It may be a bit painful for Santa Feans to know Martin and Mayes have roots in Texas, but they have long connections to New Mexico—and we don’t still care about that, do we? Take a spoonful of that ceviche before you answer. (Matt Grubs)

Jambo Café The warm welcome at this locals’ favorite starts with the greeting “jambo,” and does not end until the door swings shut on the way out. Find African and Caribbean fare with clean flavors and ample portions at the restaurant that rebounded strongly after a driver plowed through its front window last year. You’d never know, as the plates come as effortlessly from chef Ahmed Obo’s kitchen as they have since he opened in 2009. For starters, the cinnamon-dusted fried plantains come sizzling hot with a tangy curry pineapple dipping sauce ($5.95). Entrees run the gamut from simple to elegant, starting with goat stew and finishing with the likes of seasoned mahi-mahi grilled in a banana leaf and topped with chunky mango tamarind sauce ($16.95). The moist, mildly flavored fish dish comes with sauteed bok choy and wild black rice that’s tender and chewy. We appreciate Jambo’s attention to detail in the rice department. Whether it’s this version or the fragrant basmati rice that comes with many other dishes, it will be done right. The combination plate ($14.95) is a great place to start, since it arrives with the bone-in goat stew with its gamey richness and herbaceous notes, a portion of chicken curry in a coconut-based spicy sauce, and a pile of coconut lentils.

Just try to leave room for Jamaican rum pie for dessert ($5.95). (Julie Ann Grimm)

Piccolino As we plunge chunks of bread into a bowl of marinara, it sinks in: This menu is actually a book. Our red table wine arrives in an old-school tumbler. It’s gone, and the bread and the sauce much diminished before we finally decide what to get. If your family can’t find something to choose among this bible of comfort food, it hasn’t got a prayer. You’d have to faithfully dine here each night for a year to try it all. Readers voted Piccolino the best Italian restaurant in the most recent Best of Santa Fe poll, and that’s for good reason. Any night of the week, you’re likely to find it bustling, and proprietor Olga Tarango-Jimenez is likely to be right in the middle of it. Unbeknownst to us, we ordered the dish on the menu that’s named after her. Olga’s favorite pasta hit the spot with a combination of large chunks of roasted eggplant and a generous mound of goat cheese ($11.50). We also had to get a plate of the sausage ravioli with spicy red cream sauce, knowing full well we were taking some home in the ubiquitous foil pan with a cardboard lid. Kid-friendly and multi-generational, the restaurant also has gluten-free pasta and pizzas, a drive-through window, and checkered tablecloths for the win. (JAG)

No Gluten,

B&B stands for bread and butter, but don’t let the name fool you—this hidden gem of a bakery boasts plenty of gluten-free and vegan options. Owners Sky and Amanda Yang originally hail from Korea, and they bring a worldly, open-minded approach to their baked goods. These feature a uniquely East Asian stamp, frequently using ingredients like condensed milk, bean paste and rice flour. The latter is used to make the gluten-free and vegan

For the gluten-challenged who crave a cold one, there’s no better place to scratch that itch than at Second Street Brewery’s Rufina Taproom. Among the regular taps are a spectrum of beers with gluten removed, a process that uses enzymes to extract any gluten particles from the beer after brewing. These are precipitated out along with the yeast cells used for fermentation. Every batch is lab-tested to ensure it These ginger banana contains less than one cardamom waffles from part per million of the Love Yourself Café are offending double protein gluten-free—and amazing. after processing. The resulting beer comes closer in taste to the real thing than any of the dupes out there brewed with alternative grains, and Second Street features around four gluten-removed options, available at $5 a pint. The Kolsch is a light, crisp style of beer with a touch of fruitiness that drinks like a lager, and the Rod’s Best Bitter is a stronger, pale ale style that packs more of a punch. But if you’re craving a more assertive-

But what to do if you have a gluten allergy and you feel like you can’t even look at another green juice or rice bowl without gagging—what about when you’re craving straight-up baby back ribs, or a big juicy burger? Enter the Ranch House, a Santa Fe staple that offers a selection of downand-dirty comfort food with a surprising soft spot for its more food-sensitive customers. The restaurant is owned by Joshua Baum, formerly of Josh’s BBQ, whose parents are gluten-intolerant, and he’s carefully crafted a wide range of options on the menu. Everything out of the smoker is gluten-free, as is the house barbecue sauce, and gluten-free buns are available upon request for the burgers. Smoked options include the brisket plate ($14) which is smoked for 18 hours and comes either moist or lean, the pulled pork plate ($12), the half chicken ($14) and plenty of combination options. Prices are eminently reasonable for Santa Fe-style dining, and portions are so large it’s almost impossible to eat it all in one sitting. There are even a few gluten-free desserts, such as the bourbon vanilla creme brulee ($5.95), a decadent treat of caramelized sugar topped with fresh berries.

The restaurant extension of Light Vessel spa is a total celiac-safe space. Everything the café serves is gluten-free, including the pastries baked in-house using a mixture of coconut, almond and rice flour. The menu is a veritable ode to food sensitivities, containing a range of vegan, vegetarian and paleo options. From the grainless hearty skillet ($11) of sweet potato, kale and sautéed vegetables, to the lemon pancakes ($12, available at brunch) topped with strawberries, banana and coconut, there’s plenty of hearty, coldweather-friendly comfort food to go around.

nclusivity is the great cultural zeitgeist of our time, whether it be in terms of politics, entertainment, art or even food. There are more dietary restrictions to cater to than ever before, and plenty of Santa Fe restaurants rise to the challenge. Being a picky eater in the City Different isn’t really so hard if you know where to look. In particular, the gluten-intolerant are blessed with an array of options to satisfy every urge, from the health-conscious to the indulgently decadent, from vegetable bowls to baby back ribs. Below is a cheat sheet of the top places to hit up when you’ve got a health condition of the celiac variety, or if you’re a dilettante looking to lay off the wheatbased treats for a while.

ly hoppy and citrusy flavor, try the 2920 IPA ($5.75 a pint) made from seven different varieties of hops. It’s highly aromatic, with plenty of bold fruit and bitter flavors, that won’t lead to any bloating or brain fog after drinking it—unless you have one too many, that is.

from a range of smoothies, juices and elixirs designed to detoxify and cleanse.

The food options were designed to work synergistically with the treatments offered at the accompanying spa, but given the convenient location, you don’t need to sit down for a full massage to pick up a cup of golden milk-infused bullet coffee ($8) while you’re on the go.

chiffon cakes, dense yet fluffy confections that come in flavors like red velvet, mocha and green tea, iced with a frosting made of almond and rice flour. The Yangs also make a gorgeous selection of jewel-toned macarons, which are a traditionally gluten-free treat made from almond four, one of many of a rotating selection of gluten-free cookies featured in the bakery.

B&B is well worth navigating the trial of parking downtown to satiate a highly particular sweet tooth.

Driver X Review The future is uber-depressing

10

MOVIES

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

Driver X from writer/director Henry Barrial (The House That Jack Built) is almost as much about the past as it is the future. Or, to be more precise, it’s maybe about being dragged into the future kicking and screaming; at least into whatever version of “the future” in which we currently live.

The film stars Patrick Fabian (Better Call Saul) as Leonard, a middle-aged father and husband who once owned a gloriously popular record store and now struggles to keep up with the internet age and the awful people it’s spawned.

Unemployed and mired in domesticity, Leonard deals poorly as his wife (Tanya Clarke) waxes poetic about a potential cleanse she’ll take on, how her job is tough, how Leonard isn’t pulling his weight. So, when traditional channels of employment fall by the wayside, Leonard applies with Driver X, a riff on rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft. Without so much as ever speaking to a single living human, he’s driving the night shift in Los Angeles. Shit gets weird.

Barrial based the film on his own experiences as an Uber driver between projects, and the writing for various fares hit so close to home

6 + CLEVER

CONCEPT; THE FARES; THE SATIRE - FABIAN IS SO-SO; SUPPORTING CHARACTERS FEEL POINTLESS

it’s borderline terrifying. From the curt and the too-friendly to the sexual and spooky, Barrial clearly was taking notes during his time driving.

Fabian, however, feels out of his element, and not in a good way. His portrayal of behindthe-times is often crammed into moments that make him seem more like an idiot than an aging human person, though we do admit we laughed out loud during a scene wherein he stands up for himself at long last; even better is the Driver X office, a scary yet hysterical scene that feels almost more like sci-fi than satire.

The cast is rounded out with brief performances from some pretty well-known TV actors, like Brooklyn 99’s Melissa Fumero, Scrubs alum Travis Schuldt, The Office’s Oscar Nunez and

Desmin Borges, easily the best character in the FX series You’re the Worst. And while these appearances are fun, the no-name actors are what lends Driver X authenticity and, more often, soul.

Still, we never really learn what comes of the job or whether Leonard works it out with his wife, and while we get plenty of hints that he might be a bastard, his development never comes full-circle. Instead, our fears about ourselves and these rideshare apps become startlingly real. And we laugh as much as we hurt, though we’re not entirely sure that was the point—or if there was one.

THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

Special mentions abound, however, to the likes of Tim Blake Nelson as the titular Buster Scruggs, as funny and layered a performance as we’ve ever seen from the O Brother, Where Art Thou? vet. Kudos go as well to Harry Melling, whose turn as a limbless actor tethered to a Liam Neeson-run traveling theater act far surpasses what we know of the Harry Potter alum.

Neeson, as always, is pretty damn good in the quieter moments.

But it’s not all good news, especially in the case of Big Sick actor/writer Zoë Kazan’s toolong and too-slow installment wherein a woman traveling by covered wagon caravan loses everything to the unforgiving era and region. Still, by the time we reach the final entry and are thrust into the capable hands of talented actors like Brendan Gleeson, Tyne Daly and Saul Rubinek, all is mostly forgiven.

It would be strange to take in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs in a theater, though its sweeping panoramic vistas and stunning cinematography surely help defuse its more stilted moments. All the same, it’s better to view on the couch at home where one might have a chance to pause and reflect if they so chose. The premise is interesting and the writing is solid—it’s just not quite what we’re used to, for better or for worse. (Alex De Vore) Netflix, R, 132 min.

+ DARK AND WELL-CRAFTED - SOME EPISODES LAG; SOME

PERFORMANCES DISAPPOINT

While the anthology film is nothing particularly new, it’s most often relegated to horror— think Creepshow. We’ve almost definitely never seen one so intricately crafted and large in scope as with the Coen Brothers’ new Netflix (and in select theaters) production, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Six disparate tales of the Wild West are told from various genre standpoints, from the dark comedy of a sing-songy gunslinger or the robber ever-destined for the gallows to the sparse and ultimately triumphant tale of the aged prospector and the subtle scares of a mysteriously populated stagecoach bound for who-knows-where.

The episodes, as it were, are at turns quite funny or heartbreaking or, in one case, almost Tolstoyan—though without a singular narrative thread interwoven throughout, it’s challenging to carry the events or lessons of one tale with us into the next. This is by design, and Scruggs almost never stumbles in its pacing, but it can cause a sort of disconnect or cognitive dissonance when we’re presented with such emotionally differing material in such a rapid-fire manner.

FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD

4

a complicated cultural situation into a shallow Hollywood stew. That’s not to say it’s unworthy of being seen. Bearing witness isn’t just for the Baptists. (Julie Ann Grimm) Violet Crown, R, 115 min.

+ TREASURE PLATYPUS FOREVER! - JOHNNY DEPP; ALL THAT OTHER STUPID STUFF

OVERLORD

Have you watched the first Fantastic Beasts movie lately? You probably should if you’re planning to see the follow-up, because even as someone who saw that movie, I felt pretty lost coming into The Crimes of Grindelwald.

As I recalled, when we last left the beastmaster himself, Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), he and his friends—some wizards, some muggles, the treasure platypus—had discovered that Colin Farrell’s character (whose name I forget) was actually the evil Grindelwald (Johnny Depp, an actor who can apparently beat up women and smuggle dogs into Australia with nary a professional consequence) and this was bad for … some reason.

We discover in the latest film that it’s bad because Grindelwald is basically Voldemort 1-point-oh, and he’s totally escaped wizard custody to start doing wizard crimes and make the wizard world better for wizards. To do this, he’ll need help from this guy Credence (Ezra Miller), a non-muggle who is just now realizing his outrageously strong powers, and any number of other evil baddies. Newt, who amounts to a magical zookeeper, is somehow thrust into the fight once more, and he does the fantastic beast dance with some pretty OK CGI monsters while doing cute sidelong glances and being all adorable-awkward with his haircut and everything.

Along the way we get pained connective threads to the overarching Harry Potter universe in the form of Voldemort’s snake’s origin tale (which feels pointlessly tacked on), a hint at young Dumbledore’s sexuality as portrayed by Jude Law, and a little more baby murder than you’d probably expect. But we also get bored by too much crammed in, a confusing retelling of the past and one or two too many characters thrown in. JK Rowling herself penned the script, which definitely could have used a bit of polish, particularly for scene transitions that don’t land well at best or are straight up mind-boggling at worst. Everything else is just melodrama.

Especially Depp, who is serviceable as Grindelwald, but also a rather blankly evil character whom we know is evil simply because we’re told as much. Jude Law feels like nothing at all, and supporting performances from Dan Fogler, Kathryn Waterston and Zoë Kravitz mostly just slow things down. Thank goodness for that treasure platypus, then—he’s the real star of the show.

And of course the ending sets up a sequel, and of course it’s fun to visit Hogwarts during

Jay-kay, but that’s not actually so far from what really happens. the 1920s (shit, we’ve been hangin’ with Mr. Potter for 20 years now), but dumb jokes and the realization that most magic spells in this world are about opening doors or starting fires make The Crimes of Grindelwald feel like a slog more often than not. Sorry, Potterheads—it’s just not the same. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 134 min.

BOY ERASED + IMPORTANT STORY

COURAGEOUSLY TOLD

- SORT OF SHALLOW CHARACTERS

If ever a mainstream movie called for more trigger warnings for a recovering child of the religious right than Boy Erased, we haven’t seen it.

Viewers won’t likely find something uplifting and hopeful, but they will get a fairly accurate glimpse into what it’s like for queer people born into families of particular dogmatic persuasions.

Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman play Marshall and Nancy Eamons, the parents of a teenage son who displays little of the rebellion of his age, and instead an earnestness and devotion to them and their faith tradition that classifies homosexuality a sinful choice.

Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea) in his role as Jared is short and features an apology. He willingly complies with his parents’ plan to “help him” at a counseling center, then he’s horrified and demoralized by what happens there. Is his only choice really between losing God and losing himself?

The script for Boy Erased is based on the 2016 memoir of the same title by Garrad Conley, and it’s laced with the kind of insider knowledge that comes from lived experience—one that not everyone sent to so-called gay conversion therapy actually lives through. The characters have been renamed, but photos just before the credits reaffirm that they’re modeled on Conley and his real family.

While Kidman’s character inexplicably moves from a blind obedience to the Baptist church to courageous protection of her son (and we want to praise her when this moment arrives at long last), there’s more to her emotional journey that we missed learning about. Likewise with Dad. Crowe’s depiction of the preacher and car salesman is well-executed and doesn’t slip into stereotype, yet what’s really in his heart, even as it seems to change ever so slightly, is closed to the audience. It’s Jared’s strength and fight for survival that redeems the telling.

Its flaw is the almost unavoidable trap of boiling

+ EXCITING BLEND OF STYLES - BLAND CHARACTERS; SOMETIMES ABSURD

We’ve seen plenty of media that recreates D-Day from the perspective of the storming of Normandy, but in Overlord, from director Julius Avery (Son of a Gun) and producer JJ Abrams, we follow soldiers behind enemy lines who are tasked with taking out a radio tower deep within a small village in the French countryside.

The setup is simple enough, but how the film plays out is anything but. While we may have grown accustomed to brutally realistic depictions of World War II in film and video games, Overlord ups the ante considerably by phasing between authentic period drama, thrill-a-minute action flick and zombies—yeah, zombies!

See, when American soldiers Boyce (Fences’ Jovan Adepo) and Ford (Wyatt Russell, Ingrid Goes West) wind up separated from their battalion and in the company of a young French woman (Mathilde Ollivier), they soon learn the Nazis have been using a nearby church not only for communications, but as an experimental lab dabbling in a serum that gifts super strength, immortality and even revival from death to unwitting guinea pigs.

Side effects include mild to extreme zombification, however, and as anyone who has picked up a Call of Duty or Wolfenstein video game in the last few years can tell you, there’s not a lot worse than Nazi zombies.

Gore ensues in a very major way. Like, there’s so much gore, but Avery manages to tap into his disparate genres in such a seamless way that we wonder why we haven’t seen such a hybrid film before. Oh sure, some of the soldiers are a bit cookie-cutter, from the Italian-American who cracks wise and tough to the young Jewish man with a particular vested interest in taking down Hitler; the evil Nazi doctor looks and acts exactly as you might imagine were you to picture an evil Nazi doctor. But these tropes wind up forgivable and fade into the background in place of the horror-style elements. Throw in a particularly sadistic SS officer for a villain, an adorable French kid to raise the stakes and any number of tense chase scenes in catacomb tunnels, atmospheric jump-scares and one of the most well-paced and surprising narratives of the year, and Overlord gracefully sidesteps ridiculousness for just plain fun.

GEORGE R.R MARTIN’S Boy Erased is a hearbreaking but important look at how much homophobia still affects America.

Make no mistake, Overlord is as video-gamey as it gets, but given the medium’s growing status as economic juggernaut—and its evolution into genuine art form—that’s not such a bad thing. It’s exhilarating, actually, and throws audiences directly into the fray for some of the most well-choreographed fight scenes and gut-wrenching scares we’ve seen in some time, not to mention the undead. Don’t take your kids (we really mean it), but don’t write it off; Overlord is wild fun throughout. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 109 min.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

5

+ MALEK IS GREAT; THE MUSIC, - REDUCTIVE AND SIMPLIFIED; DUMB MIKE MYERS JOKE

After years in limbo, Bohemian Rhapsody, the story of Queen, has finally hit theaters after the loss of Sacha Baron Cohen as Freddie Mercury and the famous firing of director Bryan Singer.

And it’s fine as biopics go, though absolutely problematic the more you peel back the veneer.

The probably mostly already-known story of Queen follows the legendary rock band from meager beginnings to parade of hits, label interference, interpersonal strife and love and family issues—right up to the much-beloved 1985 LiveAid concert, dubbed by many as one of the finest performances by a rock act of all time; some photos and text-crawling fills in a handful of gaps thereafter. Rami Malek is fantastic as Mercury, however, all bluster and melodrama hiding a palpable self-loathing and sexual confusion. It’s unfortunate, then, that his embodiment of Mercury helps tell only a half-tale.

Because while we’re busy tapping our toes and elbowing our pals in the theater because we totally know that song, Rhapsody inconveniently reduces Mercury, his queerness and his Parsi roots down to a couple throwaway scenes or oversimplified dialog in favor of proving how close the band was, how innovative they were in the studio, how ahead of their time they were and how much everyone loved them. But we already knew that, didn’t we?

Yes, we get a line about Mercury’s bisexuality here or the evidence of his well-known hedonism there, but these moments are few and fleeting.

We’re told Mercury was lonely even in crowds; we’re front and center for his coming-out to lifelong friend Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton); we see the pressures of fame piling on though unsurprisingly not solving problems—but we never truly get into their consequences, nor

do we pick up any particularly new information about Mercury’s Parsi ethnicity or how he must have struggled coming to grips with his queerness. How about that scene in the rain with “Under Pressure” piping in from the background, though? Feels good!

Right up until it doesn’t. But the end of the feel-goods doesn’t come from the knowledge that Mercury contracted AIDS and died, never really reconnected with his family, that the reunion of the band was businesslike or that he never felt OK when he wasn’t onstage; it comes instead from realizing that a mainstream film had a chance to really dial up the representation and attempt to get us into the head of the finest voice in rock ‘n’ roll history, but chose musical montage or silly Mike Meyers jokes (seriously) time and time again instead. This is disappointing in a way that even Malek’s tremendous performance— and perfectly fine turns from most of the rest of the cast—can’t quite make up for. We must instead take solace in how Bohemian Rhapsody might introduce a new generation to Queen’s music, because it really was fantastic—no matter how much it can’t represent the real core of the story.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Every year the bird known as the Arctic tern experiences two summers and enjoys more daylight than any other animal. That’s because it regularly makes a long-distance journey from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back again. Let’s designate this hardy traveler as your inspirational creature for the next eleven months. May it help animate you to experiment with brave jaunts that broaden and deepen your views of the world. I don’t necessarily mean you should literally do the equivalent of circumnavigating the planet. Your expansive adventures might take place mostly in inner realms or closer to home.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Venice, Italy consists of 118 small islands that rise from a shallow lagoon. A network of 443 bridges keeps them all connected. But Venice isn’t the world champion of bridges. The American city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania holds that title, with 446. I nominate these two places to be your inspirational symbols in the coming weeks.

It’s time for you build new metaphorical bridges and take good care of your existing metaphorical bridges.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): To aid and support your navigation through this pragmatic phase of your astrological cycle, I have gathered counsel from three productive pragmatists. First is author Helen Keller. She said TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When the American Civil she wanted to accomplish great and noble things, but War began in 1861, the United States fractured. Four her “chief duty” was “to accomplish small tasks as if years later, the union was technically restored when the they were great and noble.” Second, author George northern states defeated the southern states. At that Orwell believed that “to see what is in front of one’s time, African American slavery became illegal everynose” requires never-ending diligence. Finally, author where for the first time since the country’s birth decades Pearl S. Buck testified that she didn’t wait around until earlier. But there was a catch. The southern states soon she was in the right mood before beginning her work. enacted laws that mandated racial segregation and Instead, she invoked her willpower to summon the necensured that African Americans continued to suffer sys- essary motivation. tematic disadvantages. Is there a comparable issue in SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Blackjack is a card your personal life? Did you at sometime in the past try game popular in gambling casinos.

In that spirit, and in accordance odds in a “game” of your choice by using strategy that is with astrological omens, I recommend that you prepare almost as good as cheating but isn’t actually cheating. yourself for the arrival in your life of intriguing anomalies and fun mysteries. Like Nessie, they’re nothing to worry CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What has become of the metaphorical seeds you planted during the weeks about, but you’ll be better able to deal gracefully with after your last birthday?
