MASTERS Program faces lawsuit
Plaintiffs allege the state charter school retaliated against them for claiming it broke state law
BY
Throughout the 2023-24 school year at The MASTERS Program charter school, teachers Diana Boyd and Kristin Carlisle both raised concerns about the school’s handling of special education students and their individualized education plans (IEPs).
After voicing these concerns to school administrators and later filing an official complaint with the Public Education Department, both teachers would eventually resign after months of retaliation, according to a lawsuit filed in the New Mexico First Judicial District Court.
According to the complaint filed Monday morning, The MASTERS Program charter school violated both the state’s Whistleblower Protection Act and Human Rights Act. Boyd and Carlisle seek compensatory and special damages, emotional distress damages, reputational damages and statutory damages.
The lawsuit alleges a series of actions the school’s administration took against Boyd and Carlisle after the teachers separately raised issues with school administrators on their handling of special education students and IEPs.
On March 6 this year, Boyd and Carlisle filed an official complaint with the PED alleging the school violated state special education
law with respect to 10 different issues.
Out of the 10 issues raised in the complaint, the PED only substantiated two: that the school failed to make IEPs accessible to staff and inform staff of their responsibilities related to implementing IEPs, and that the school failed to properly develop students’ IEPs.
“The actual allegations that employees blow the whistle on don’t even have to turn out to be correct, as long as the employee has a good faith basis to blow the whistle—as long as they believe what they are doing is true,” Shayne Huffman, the plaintiffs’ attorney, tells SFR. “Even if it turns out to not be true, they’re still protected under the law to encourage people to speak up. In this case, however, they were right. The PED substantiated [some of the] complaints that they made.”
Once the school had become aware of the teachers’ complaint to the PED, plaintiff attorney Shayne Huffman tells SFR, the ongoing retaliation “really ramped up.”
The first incident of retaliation, the lawsuit says, occurred in December 2023, after Carlisle and TMP Head of School Karla Haas Moskowitz discussed a student’s performance, and Haas Moskowitz responded to “find a way to disenroll the student,” and that “the student might need to be tested for a disability and TMP would therefore be unable to serve the student.” According to the PED’s later resolution investigating poten-
Her allegation claimed Boyd “followed a student into the restroom” and that Boyd’s discussion of special education “constituted inappropriate communication within the school community.” The lawsuit also claims Haas Moskowitz told Boyd that “as a lesbian woman, Boyd should never be in the restroom with a female student.”
Huffman refers to this allegation as “absurd,” and says there is no policy against teachers using a public restroom at the same time a student does. This retaliatory action is the basis for the second count on the complaint, alleging discrimination against Boyd for her sexual orientation.
“The head of school made it very clear she was telling her that because she was a lesbian woman,” Huffman says. “The implication, of course, is that somehow there’s something fundamentally wrong about being in the restroom.”
tial violations of special education law, Haas Moskowitz denies this allegation.
Within a few days of this conversation and after Carlisle contacted Governing Council President Steven Stauss on the matter, the lawsuit says, Haas Moskowitz “called Carlisle into a meeting at her office and accused her of committing fraud,” and alleged Carlisle’s colleagues “maintained a ‘fraud file’ on Carlisle.”
“[Haas Moskowitz] never actually told her what it was about, she never gave her any documentary evidence,” Huffman says. “She didn’t tell her anything. So, those were the big pieces of retaliation.”
A few days after this meeting, the complaint states Haas Moskowitz “called or pretended to call” the PED Licensure Bureau in front of Carlisle and asked over the phone “whether she could revoke a teacher’s license if the teacher was unethical,” though Huffman says “she didn’t have the authority” to do so.
Retaliatory actions the lawsuit alleges the school took against Boyd, however, did not begin until February. That was when she spoke at the school’s governing council meeting to share additional concerns about the school’s special education practices. On February 29, a few days after the governing council meeting and back and forth with Moskowitz in person and via email, Boyd was placed on administrative leave. Moskowitz alleged “serious misconduct.”
According to the complaint, the school’s assistant head of school Tina Morris later conducted an investigation into this specific claim about Boyd. Huffman says security footage Morris showed Boyd used the restroom three minutes after the student went into the restroom with friends and left 42 seconds later. The students remained in the restroom for an additional 7.5 minutes. Morris concluded Boyd should have been permitted to return to work as of March 15, but Haas Moskowtiz kept Boyd on administrative leave indefinitely.
“[Haas] Moskowitz refused to allow [Boyd] to go back to work, even though she was cleared of allegations,” Huffman says. “It’s quite frankly appalling that [Haas] Moskowitz would use student safety as a conduit, as a pretext, to try to retaliate against Boyd.”
The lawsuit claims these actions gave Boyd “no choice but to resign,” which she did by the end of June 2024. She was still on administrative leave.
In March, Carlisle was “diagnosed with anxiety induced by her workplace,” and briefly took sick leave. Carlisle resigned in early April 2024, due to the “hostile work environment” and “diagnosis of anxiety.”
SFR reached out to The MASTERS Program by phone and Haas Moskowitz by email for comment, but has not received any response as of publishing.
Huffman says the plaintiffs are looking for accountability in addition to damages.
“The Whistleblower Protection Act was enacted by our legislature about 15 years ago, and it’s a really, really important law that protects the rights of public employees to successfully work and share anything that they think is unlawful or unethical,” Huffman says. “We ought to be protecting people that are willing to do that, and endorsing the type of punishment against them.”
Two former teachers at the MASTERS Program charter school located on the Santa Fe Community College campus seek damages from the school in new lawsuit.

Nava students’ proficiency in reading soared by 22%. Math rates jumped 11%.
Mohler and the rest of the faculty got the good news upon returning from
“It was really awesome,” she says. “We’ve had shifts in what we do as a staff, in our planning process [with the principal], working together, working with other schools. I think all that just comes together, and it shows how hard everyone—our students, our teachers, our principal—is working, and I think it’s nice to see that hard work paying off.”
Nava Principal Justin Hunter says he is “over the moon” about the increase in reading and math proficiency.
“It’s the kind of growth that I’ve been waiting for and looking for, and it’s just exciting to see where we’re going next,”
Districtwide, reading proficiency rates have improved over the past year, from 38% to 40%, although math scores decreased slightly from 23% to 22%.
BY MO CHARNOT mo@sfreporter.com
In teacher Danielle Mohler’s second-grade class, students crowd together on the floor in front of the classroom’s SmartBoard to read aloud.
“Chad sprang up from the rug,” the students read in unison from the board with Mohler’s guidance on a recent Monday morning. “‘I’ll get it!’ he said as he went to the door.”
Written in blue and purple marker on the whiteboard behind her are the class’s current learning targets. In
In math, students are learning “to use mental strategies to add and subtract within 20,” according to the board. The problem on the board is “8 + 6.” The board advises “making a 10” to simplify the problem when moving into double digits. If 8 + 2 = 10, then 4 is left over, and 10 + 4 = 14.
Learning targets are among several strategies Francis X Nava Elementary School staff use to track and improve student proficiency in reading and math—strategies recent data shows are working.
When Santa Fe Public Schools released its 2023 standardized testing data on Sept. 24, Nava Elementary had much to celebrate. Within just one year,
Superintendent Hilario “Larry” Chavez tells SFR he believes several things factored into this year’s increases in reading proficiency.
“I think it’s a state effort around literacy, specifically structured literacy,” Chavez says, adding that other factors he believe have contributed to this growth include the district’s focus on standards-based instruction to prepare students for standardized testing, significant improvement in attendance rates and a large increase in students enrolling in this year’s summer programming.
Throughout this year, Chavez says the district plans to “double down” on its efforts.
“We really want to show that not only was it a one-year data point, but it’s going to continue as we move forward,” Chavez says. “As a unified front, we are starting to make a difference.”
Chavez calls Nava Elementary “one of many school sites” the district is celebrating for its gains made in reading and math, saying Hunter “has done an amazing job of being an instructional leader, and really being intentional in his efforts around improving student outcomes.”
Nava Elementary, a small school of about 176 students, is in Midtown’s Bellamah neighborhood. At the 55-yearold school, Hunter and his staff use a modern approach. Their strategies for improving reading and math scores include a unique incentive program, data-based reviews of student progress and a strong community built around students, families, and staff.
Last year, Nava’s reading proficiency rate was one of the lowest in the district. At 17%, it was less than half the district’s average rate of 38% in 2023. In pre-COVID years, when individual schools were given report cards by the state to correspond with standardized test scores, Nava often fluctuated. From 2014 to 2018, the school’s overall score moved up and down: D, B, D, C and D.
Before the pandemic rocked student achievement across the state, Nava
Elementary was already in an uncertain place. The SFPS Board of Education considered potentially closing Nava Elementary due to shrinking enrollment and aging facilities.
However, none of the proposals passed, in large part due to outcry from parents speaking in support of keeping smaller

schools open.
Hunter came to Nava Elementary in 2021, the third principal of the school since Mohler began there. Hunter told SFR at the time, “I only know what I inherited, and what I’m looking to do with what I’ve been given.”
Mohler recalled meeting Hunter: “I remember my first conversation with him was like, ‘We’re gonna have these high expectations. We’re gonna keep moving our
kids and expecting higher, higher expectations of them.’ And I think that’s what we’ve done.”
To help boost student progress in reading, Hunter introduced “Nava Kwondo.” Students are awarded with different-colored belts (similar to the system used in taekwondo) for learning to read more words—specifically from the Fry Word List of the 1,000 most-common English words.
Hunter told SFR in January, students who know the Fry Word List theoretically should be able to read standardized tests “with fluency and comprehension.”
“It’s a pretty broad-scoped idea, but the kids start at the earliest age possible,” Hunter says. “With [kindergarteners], we have them focusing on using these words. The goal is that by the end of third grade, they have that list mastered, which accounts for about 90% of the language used in standardized testing.”
Hunter explains that he first got the idea from structured-literacy training that he and his teachers were required to complete by the district. In the training, they were shown a simple math problem: students’ ability to read and decode words × comprehension = successful reading
“These are our variables,” Hunter told himself. “If I can tease out the decoding of the words and get it where they are, I’ll know they already know the words—it’s going to eliminate the factor in that particular math equation.”

Francis X. Nava Elementary School has been serving students in the Midtown area off Siringo Road for 55 years now.
Second grade teacher Danielle Mohler’s students read aloud together.
That encouraged Hunter to follow what he says was his thought process all along. “All we have to do once we have the words learned is focus on comprehension strategies.”
Despite only beginning the program last year, Hunter says periodical data the school collects on students has already shown improvement in student reading comprehension. He says at this point in the year, about 85% of kindergarten students are “right where they should be” in learning high-frequency words, and about 95% of first and second grade students are on track as well.
“I attribute it to the Nava Kwondo and to the kids themselves,” Hunter says. “They’re just very excited about it, and they can’t wait to get the next list of words … Some of the kids earned their black belts relatively quickly, and they were very excited about it. And so then, they’re like, ‘Okay, well, what’s next?’ At this juncture, I don’t have what’s next per se, but I do know that we’re talking about extensions for it.”
But Hunter says he feels programs like this are only “the tip of the iceberg” when it comes to how Nava Elementary staff work to improve student achievement.
“Our district has done a phenomenal job of getting high-quality instructional materials put into the hands of the teachers,” Hunter says. “We’ve had a number of different professional developments for the teachers to ensure that they’re using these materials the way that those materials were intended to be used. So that’s a big component of it.”
To keep up with students’ progress at every grade level, Hunter tends to pull from his prior background in education as a math teacher, both through Nava Kwondo and how he and his staff strategize short-term throughout the year.
Once a week, Hunter meets with every

teacher during their planning time to look at interim testing data in each classroom. Second-graders test at least once a month.
“We’re looking at our goals and where our kids are scoring, where they’re struggling the most, where they’re succeeding the most, and make plans to focus on for the next couple weeks,” Mohler says. “I think that’s helpful. It’s not just meaningless data sitting there…we’re analyzing where our kids are and what we need to do to support them, to move them up a little bit each time.”
After reviewing the data, Hunter says, they employ whichever strategies would best serve their chosen area of focus—whether it be words from The Fry List, geometry, base 10 operations— for a set amount of time, usually two or three weeks, and then study the results of the “mini project.” From there, they decide to do one of three things with the strategy: abandon it, adopt it or adapt it.
“Is it going to be a permanent change in the way the class is doing their business, or is it just a temporary thing? Does

the data indicate it’s time to move on? It sort of depends,” Hunter says. “But everything we’re doing is data-driven and data-aligned, and I really attribute that to the success…that’s really the key piece there. We choose a strategy that is backed by the efficiency and the efficacy it brings to the classroom.”
As an example, Hunter says, one area he and fourth grade teacher Lisa Romero have been focusing on is helping students understand how to add and subtract multi-digit numbers. A current strategy they are using involves showing students a graphic organizer to help them remember the place values for each digit (such as thousands, hundreds, tens and ones).
Hunter explains that using non-linguistic representations to explain a concept to students—diagrams, pictures, graphic organizers, 3D models and more— is a way they have been delivering the students instruction in a way that “makes it more digestible for them.”
“An 11% gain in math is not an accident,” Hunter says. “It’s not as flashy as a
taekwondo belt system or what have you, but it’s the data that we get from the students. There’s nothing in this school that goes down that’s not intentional.”
Most important to delivering that high -quality instruction is the teachers themselves, Hunter says, noting Nava’s strong teacher retention rate as a “source of stability for students.” He lists a number of long-time teachers at Nava, including Jaclyn Gonzales, Jen Kennedy, Laura Mayo-Rodriguez, Victoria Scanlon and more.
“They’re seasoned...there’s just a lot of continuity,” Hunter says. “The kids can come into school and know what to expect on a daily basis, and so we just provide that atmosphere for them. They come to school with a good, can-do positive attitude, and it’s just the sort of culture that I’m looking to create here.”
Mohler, for example, has been teaching full-time since 2017, after originally being hired as an education assistant in 2011. The school’s principal, Justin
Hunter, describes her as a “true teacher who inspires,” adding she has “excellent rapport” with students and their families and “a very professional work ethic.”
“There’s a lot of good people all around me, and that’s one of the things that it’s kind of hard to capture,” Hunter tells SFR. “Nava is a special place, because I have nothing but good people that come to school every day for the betterment of these kids. It’s not to say other schools don’t have good people, but I’m in a very blessed situation that we have phenomenal educators all around us.”
Hunter notes that Mohler, in the past few years, has been instrumental in implementing more recent changes from SFPS at Nava, such as the district’s switch to standard-based grading and teaching students to read through a structured literacy approach.
Structured literacy, which is being taught up to fifth grade in Santa Fe’s public schools, is a form of reading instruction that teaches students to read through phonemic awareness (auditory and oral relationships); phonics (relationships between letters and sound); vocabulary; fluency; and comprehension.
Earlier this year, the New Mexico Public Education Department budgeted nearly $60 million in structured literacy initiatives throughout the state, including training for teachers and direct services to students.
To Mohler, as a more recent graduate, learning to teach reading through structured literacy “seemed like second nature.”
“I feel like it’s really emphasizing not just memorizing certain words, and it’s focusing on the foundation of reading, why these sounds are making certain sounds,
why the letters and sounds correspond,” Mohler explains. “Those kids, they go in depth into things that I never learned as a kid, and I think it’s really valuable…it’s made me a better teacher at reading.”
Despite having worked at Nava for more than a decade now, Mohler is relatively newer in her career. When she took on her role as an education assistant Mohler says she never intended to become a teacher. Now, responsible for all 20 second-graders attending Nava this year, she says she “can’t leave because I love it here so much.”
“I just feel like it’s a good place to be. Being a small school, we have a lot of families that keep coming back with their kids or students, and then old students bring their kids back,” Mohler says. “We have a little more of a personal relationship with each other, and so we support each other…When our families or our students are struggling, I feel like, as a staff, we go over and beyond.”
In the classroom, Mohler says building relationships with students is her top priority.
“I want to have positive interactions with them, and I will even start now with the first graders, and make sure I say good morning to them and learn their names,” Mohler says. “That’s so important to me…I think that’s where it starts, just knowing your kids.”
Even though Hunter didn’t expect this level of improvement so fast, he’s not tempering his celebrations or predictions.
“In two or three years, you’re going to be knocking down our door because we’re going nowhere but up,” Hunter says. “Nava is going to be a household name here pretty soon. We’re on that kind of trajectory.”

ABOUT TIME
When you stop and think about it, it’s rather strange that the Santa Fe Plaza never played host to a powwow before last year, but the Santa Fe Indigenous Center’s Honoring Native Nations Powwow was, by all accounts, a smash hit. This year promises to be even better. To wit, last year’s powwow was put together rather quickly and was still a blast and a half—2024’s iteration comes following a year’s worth of planning and is meant to be the sort of inter-tribal blowout that folks can talk about until 2025. It’ll probably be even bigger by then, but for now we can expect music, food, dancing, speakers and community in our city’s most famous gathering space—and we hear guest drummers are totally welcome.

Metalheads Heart Ukraine
Local music communities come together for humanitarian shred-a-thon benefitting Durham Humanitarian
Back in 2022, iconic Santa Fe chef Rocky Durham and his wife Emmy dropped everything to move to Moldova in an effort to kick off humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine.
“When the war broke out…we realized this was exactly our calling,” Rocky told SFR shortly after leaving town.
“There’s a huge need,” Emmy added.
In the time since then, the Durhams have founded the nonprofit Durham Humanitarian, an organization devoted to sourcing and distributing essential items for the people of Ukraine. Closer to home, local musician and promoter Steve Hilson, feels the mission is critical, so he’s throwing a super-sweet day-long show across two stages at Tumbleroot Brewery & Distillery to raise a few bucks for the Durham’s org.
“I heard Rocky and his wife on NPR one night and had the idea,” Hilson tells SFR. “I’ve been wanting to do this a long time, because I like doing benefits and everybody I asked to play was just like, ‘Yeah. We’re in.’”
Of course, it’s easier said than done, and to achieve a stacked bill of bands will-
ing to donate their time took Hilson roughly eight months. That effort was worth it, however, as the show features tons of cool acts, from local post-metal band iwatchyousleep and singer-songwriters like Bill Palmer and Lyra Muse; to Black Sabbath tribute act Sabbath; Albuquerque punk titans All Thicc; and Hilson’s own metal act TKTWA among others.
Hilson also put together a $10 raffle for numerous prizes, including sweet treats from pastry chef Becky Freeman, a hot sauce variety pack from local company Apicklelypse, gift cards for restaurants like Radish & Rye and the Shed and a Telecaster-style guitar Hilson built himself.
“It’s a $20 suggested donation for outside, and you’ll get access to the inside,” he explains. “We’re starting mellow and it will get more brutal as it goes on, but really, the whole point is just to bring community together to do something for a good cause.”

In her poem “Autobiography of a Vulture,” writer Jenny George assumes the stance of that death-adjacent creature, who owns its macabre reputation and declares itself a “tenant of the partition.”
That partition, the liminal space between life and death, provides the geography for George’s new collection After Image (Copper Canyon Press), in which the real-life death of her long-term partner vivifies the everyday landscape with beauty, grief and yearning. “I use poems to ask the questions that I’m preoccupied by,” she says. “So when this really significant experience happened, which was that my partner of many years died, and I saw her through her death, that experience was—whatever else it was—quite confounding, and it left me with a lot of big questions: What does death ask us to be? What does the proximity of death make us alive to? What kinds of knowing does it ask us into?”
George’s second collection frequently limns nature for its exquisite and evocative imagery, along with the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, in which the death of the latter prompts a grief-stricken Orpheus to attempt a rescue from Hades. In order to lead Eurydice out of the underworld, Orpheus must walk ahead and not look back (Spoiler alert: He looks back). George, whose work has appeared in The Kenyan Review, The New York Times, Ploughshares and elsewhere, will read from After Image at an event also featuring poets Catherine Barnett (Solutions for the Problem of Bodies in Space) and Anne Haven McDonnell (Breath on a Coal) at 6 pm, Thursday, Oct. 10 at Collected Works Bookstore (202 Galisteo St., (505) 988-4226). The following interview has been edited for concision and clarity. (Julia Goldberg)
Did you draw on any particular source material in your invocation of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth? I was thinking of it basically as the archetypal template: the lover separated by death and someone’s left behind and someone is swallowed by mortality.
And then I also could feel that both of those archetypes were alive in me at once. So it wasn’t as simple as, ‘she’s gone and I’m here.’ It was also like a part of me is gone, or a part of me is in the underworld; a part of me is still alive and lamenting. And so those poems in the collection, which are persona poems, they’re written from the voices of those characters [and] they felt like a constellation of internal voices, like living characters mapped onto those ancient archetypes.
Regarding the persona poems, you also have three ‘Jenny George’ poems, written from the persona of a narrator named Jenny George. In the second one, you write that Jenny George is not to be trusted. I took that poem to be sort of grappling with the challenge of the living writing about the dead when the living hasn’t experienced death, and also about the limits of language. I’m right there with you. I felt…supercharged [with] both the power and burden of being the one who could speak to that experience. My beloved can’t tell that story, and I’m the one left with access to telling, with access to language, and yet I didn’t go go through it directly. So, it’s the sense of responsibility that the living have to tell the story, and yet I also felt kind of like a fraud, like, ‘where do I get off being the one who can speak to this?’ And, yeah, definitely the sense that once we’re using language, we’re already in the territory of not getting it quite right.
Can you discuss some of the other formal choices in this collection?
There are some loose sonnets in the book and, certainly, there’s a formal choice toward containment—which, of course, sonnets are one of the all-time great containers. And there’s another formal choice that was very active for me when I was working on the book. I don’t know how much it comes through, but there’s a lot of pairs of words in the book. Oftentimes, when I was writing, if I wrote a word that I just liked, liked the sound of, liked the feeling of in the line, I would use the word again in a subsequent poem. And so the book has dozens and dozens of pairs of words that are not necessarily in the same poem, but two of them in the book. That felt like a way to formally enact this quality of missing or reaching…a kind of divided pair. And so that was like a little formal exercise that was exciting me when I was working on these poems. It might be buried structurally in the book, but I do think it has a kind of undercurrent of presence.

Beneath the Surface
Strata Gallery strikes layers of inspiration
BY RED CELL author@sfreporter.com
David Leigh didn’t just wake up one day and decide to open a gallery— the idea percolated for years, fueled by a frustration he couldn’t shake. Leigh spent nearly three decades shaping young minds as an art professor at Cal State Stanislaus. But it wasn’t his successes there that stuck with him, it was the struggles he witnessed after his students left the cocoon of academia.
Leigh’s vision for a gallery was born from a critical observation of systemic barriers in the art world, particularly those facing emerging artists from less privileged backgrounds.
“I kept seeing these talented kids—often first-generation college students from working-class backgrounds—absolutely killing it in grad school,” Leigh explains. “But then...nothing. No parental safety net, no clear path forward. I was watching great potential go to waste. It was discouraging to find that so many of them had no options after school.”
In 2021, Leigh transformed his frustration into action, founding Strata Gallery, a space that has become known for its
innovative approach to artist support and exhibition. Leigh’s desire to bridge that gap between academic success and professional viability bore the need for a gallery that would nurture talent while also providing a platform for established artists.
“If I was gonna do it, Leigh says, “I wanted it to be a bit different.”
Strata operates on a unique membership model for which established artists pay monthly dues. This approach not only keeps the lights on but allows the gallery to exhibit work based on artistic merit rather than salability. As Leigh puts it, “It’s liberating. We can show work we believe in, not just what we think will move quickly.”
But where Strata truly shines is in its commitment to emerging artists. Each year, the gallery selects five up-andcomers to foster and showcase from a pool of more than 100 applicants. These artists, typically in their late 20s or early 30s, often get their first solo show at Strata. But it’s not just about wall space—they get the full VIP treatment.
Jennifer Vann, the gallery’s director and a former student of Leigh’s, orchestrates the artist support network.
“We cover everything from pricing artwork to securing shows,” Leigh explains, underscoring Strata’s comprehensive approach to development.
Of course, financial sustainability is a crucial aspect of the gallery’s model. After a challenging first year, Strata has achieved stability through a combination of member dues, art sales and grants. The gallery’s fortunes shifted with the acquisition of non-profit status that first year, which opened avenues for funding. That has allowed Strata to set its sights on expansion, with plans to increase the number of emerging artists showcased annually while elevating the caliber of its established roster, all while acknowledging the delicate balance required when funding depends on membership.
Joyce Yamada’s Raven, Raven kicks off this week at Strata Gallery, with a reception for the artist slated for 5-7 pm on Friday, Oct. 18.
I kept seeing these talented kids—often first-generation college students from workingclass backgrounds— absolutely killing it in grad school . But then...nothing.
-David Leigh
Vann organizes welcome meetings, plays matchmaker between new and established artists for mentorships and even conducts workshops on the practicalities of the art world. Want to know how to price your work without underselling yourself? Vann’s got you covered.
Interestingly, Strata’s democratic selection process has led to some unexpected trends. Leigh notes that about 70% of its emerging artists have been women, reflecting a shift he’s observed in art grad schools. The gallery has also featured a high number of artists from underrepresented groups, of which Leigh says he’s quite proud.
“The only thing missing so far,” he says, “is a ‘serious hardcore’ sculptor.”
A gap he’s still hoping to address.
As Strata continues to evolve, the gallery seeks to forge stronger connections with other cultural institutions in Santa Fe and beyond. Recently, Leigh and company have engaged in discussions with the Center for Contemporary Arts about a potential group show that would blend established Texas and New Mexico artists with younger talents. And upcoming shows promise to keep things interesting. Featured artists include Texas-based painter Carlos Canul’s mythic, abstract landscapes in his show A Collection of Pursuits, and Joyce Yamada’s Raven, Raven, featuring paintings that reflect her interest in, “ecology, animals, nature, and the relationship of humans to the natural world,” according to a recent statement.
Through Strata, Leigh isn’t just exhibiting art in our art-fueled city—he’s reimagining established structures and the potential for meaningful change within our cultural sector. As the gallery continues to grow under his guidance, it’s clear his vision for a more supportive, inclusive art world is well on its way to becoming a reality.

MEGALOPOLIS
A Different Man Review
The transformation of Sebastian Stan
BY ALEX DE VORE alex@sfreporter.com
A funny side effect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that it can become difficult to take its principal actors seriously outside of the superhero oeuvre. Case in point? Sebastian Stan, aka the Winter Soldier, who can’t quite seem to shake his Bucky Barnes character from Captain America and beyond. With filmmaker Aaron Schimberg’s A Different Man, however, Stan not only proves his willingness to delve deeper into a character than he can in more mainstream films, he achieves one of the finest performances of his career.
Stan is Edward, a would-be actor with an intense and tumor-heavy facial deformity. Edward’s penchant for people-pleasing makes his life a continuum of doormat-esque drudgery. But when the beautiful Ingrid (Renate Reinsve) moves in next door, Edward enters into an experimental medical trial to address his affliction. And miracle of miracles—it works.
Edward fakes his own death to become Guy, a smooth-talking real estate agent and player. All is well, until he discovers Ingrid has written a play based on his former life, leading him to audition as Guy and nab the lead role while beginning a fling with his former neighbor. This might be romantic if not for Edward hiding his true identity.
4 + GORGEOUS; INTRIGUING - HOLLOW CHARACTERS; TRITE WRITING; IRRITATING
If Megalopolis is what happens when legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola gets to do his thing fully unfettered by the yoke of the studio system, then perhaps he’s a bit like his old buddy George Lucas— self-indulgent to the max.
Like Lucas’ Star Wars prequels, Megalopolis is a visually arresting film with very little substance and a parade of baffling performances and confounding dialogue. If it is self-portraiture (and there’s a pretty good argument to make that most art is that), it is shamelessly self-aggrandizing; if it is meant to feel Shakespearian in its structure and dramatics as its first act invocation of Hamlet suggests…well, it’s just plain not that.
Megalopolis follows the political wheelings and dealings of the fictional city of New Rome, one which weirdly has nods to American politics and institutions while looking insanely similar to New York City. There, the flawed but, we’re told, brilliant Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver) runs the enigmatic Design Authority, an ostensible public works department that is supposed to…I dunno, build shit, maybe. Cesar can stop time (though Coppola never makes it clear if the time stops are real or if it’s his nod to how art freezes singular moments), and he’s fresh off a Nobel Prize win for creating some kind of super-cool sci-fi building material that’s supposed to revolutionize everything.
Enter Oswald (Adam Pearson), a Brit with a similar face deformity to Edward’s whose charismatic personality not only beguiles and befuddles our anti-hero, it gets him kicked out of the show based upon his life. What follows is a maddening march through nervousness, insecurity, jealousy and the inescapable truth that we are who we are, exterior be damned.
Schimberg’s script is a bizarre but relatable tour of neuroses compounded by the stares and glances that define Edward’s very existence. When he’s at his lowest, pre-medical trial, it’s easier to feel empathy for him. Or maybe it’s sympathy. Once he’s beautiful, however, he becomes impatient, dark, aggressive. Stan does both so well, from the shrinking violet of the early-film character to the entitled monster Edward becomes later. Against Reinsve’s wide-eyed and seeming innocence, Stan finds true magic, and Schimberg deftly reveals each character’s complexity across years, from the intoxicating silliness of fledgling romance to the cold callousness of dying relationships. Ingrid represents honesty in all its forms—even that
He’s at odds with the city’s Mayor Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), however, which sure doesn’t get better for Cesar when he falls for Cicero’s daughter Julia (Nathalie Emmanuel). Cue idealistic and heavy-handed diatribes on futurist egg-breaking and speeches about how the proletariat just doesn’t know what’s best for it; cue no small amount of non-sexy sex and hints of incest and pedophilia.
Coppola does manage to deftly weave the inner workings of family in a way that feels akin to Shakespeare—most everyone is related somehow and most everyone hates everyone else—but this is where the parallels stop. Nearly everything else Coppola leaves unexplained, unexplored or fallen flat. Much of the big story beats happen offscreen following short scenes wherein characters explain what they’re gonna do, then we jump to those things already in motion.
Of particular concern is actor Shia LaBeouf as the Nero-esque Clodio. One could call it strange that a man accused of physical and emotional abuse would take the role of an abusive, politicking maniac, but against Aubrey Plaza’s non dimensional gold-digging Wow Platinum (that’s really the character’s name), his character fades into noise. Ditto for bit parts from Dustin Hoffman as a mayor’s aide or something, the film doesn’t say, Jon Voight as a creepo banker and Talia Shire as Cesar’s nay-saying mother. If this sounds confusing, actually seeing the film doesn’t make it any easier. Oh yeah, and Jason Schwartzman (himself a Coppola) is in there, too.
Driver cobbles together an interesting enough Bruce Wayne-esque character who knows he knows what’s best. Even he can’t fix Megalopolis, though,
which seems cruel—and Reinsve’s take is brilliantly grounded.
Pearson is a bonafide scene-stealer, however, and so effortlessly showcases how attitude and confidence trump all else. Schimberg’s writing is particularly important here, as Edward’s burgeoning hate for a sweet man is the type of thing we’ve all experienced despite our better judgment, though his particular brand of rage twists him into something particularly ugly—it also forces us to reckon with how we think and behave when it comes to physical aesthetics.
That reckoning is the important part. In exploring how society reacts to beauty and ugliness, Schimberg holds a mirror up to his audience. This becomes uncomfortable fast, but the best films often wield discomfort to great effect. We are who we are, but we can choose to be better.

particularly when his character never gets to establish a foothold beyond “he smart.” Coppola tosses in a bunch of weird montages and some dramatic-ass narration by Laurence Fishburne, but these elements, too, won’t help the audience find an anchor point. Years from now, people will cite this film as one of the prettiest of its time, though they’ll likely hem and haw when asked if it was any good. (ADV) Violet Crown Cinema, R, 138 min.
SFIFF+OSCARS=2GETHER4EVER
For those folks who’ve been around over the last 16-ish years or so during which the Santa Fe International Film Festival (formerly Santa Fe Independent Film Festival, although we’ll stop reminding you about that name change at some point here, so try to remember) has risen from a handful of folding chairs at the teen center to a fully realized spectacle, note that SFIFF is now officially designated as an Oscar-qualifying event. What does this mean? It means that the winners of this year’s Best Animated Short, Best Narrative Short and Best Documentary Short cateogories can parlay those wins into submissions for the Acadmey of Motions Picture Art and Sciences awards, aka freaking Oscars. This is a big deal, especially as the fest is growing. Why, just last week, co-founder and Artistic Firector Jacques Paisner told SFR that SFIFF received more than 4,000 submissions in 2024, “so I think we can expect 6,000 or 7,000 for 2025. This year’s SFIFF is just around the corner, too, with a start date of Wednesday, Oct. 16. And it’s a big one, including
films from Jesse Eisneberg, Malcolm Washington and soooooo many more. The nonprofit Santa Fe Film Institute that presents the fest will also give a lifetime achievement award to Bryan “Breaking Bad” Cranston during the fest. Visit santafe.film for all the information.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming weeks, you may be tempted to spar and argue more than usual. You could get sucked into the fantasy that it would make sense to wrangle, feud, and bicker. But I hope you sublimate those tendencies. The same hot energy that might lead to excessive skirmishing could just as well become a driving force to create robust harmony and resilient unity. If you simply dig further into your psyche’s resourceful depths, you will discover the inspiration to bargain, mediate, and negotiate with élan. Here’s a bold prediction: Healing compromises hammered out now could last a long time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Question #1: “What subjects do you talk about to enchant and uplift a person who’s important to you?” Answer #1: “You talk about the feelings and yearnings of the person you hope to enchant and uplift.” Question #2: “How do you express your love with maximum intelligence?” Answer #2: “Before you ask your allies to alter themselves to enhance your relationship, you ask yourself how you might alter yourself to enhance your relationship.”
Question #3: “What skill are you destined to master, even though it’s challenging for you to learn?” Answer #3: “Understanding the difference between supple passion and manic obsession.”
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1819, Gemini entrepreneur Francois-Louis Cailler became the first chocolatier to manufacture chocolate bars. His innovation didn’t save any lives, cure any disease, or fix any injustice. But it was a wonderful addition to humanity’s supply of delights. It enhanced our collective joy and pleasure. In the coming months, dear Gemini, I invite you to seek a comparable addition to your own personal world. What novel blessing might you generate or discover? What splendid resource can you add to your repertoire?
CANCER (June 21-July 22): *Ayurnamat* is a word used by the Inuit people. It refers to when you long for the relaxed tranquility that comes from not worrying about what can’t be changed. You wish you could accept or even welcome the truth about provocative situations with equanimity. Now here’s some very good news, Cancerian. In the coming weeks, you will not just yearn for this state of calm, but will also have a heightened ability to achieve it. Congratulations! It’s a liberating, saint-like accomplishment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Healing will be more available to you than usual. You’re extra likely to attract the help and insight you need to revive and restore your mind, soul, and body. To get started, identify two wounds or discomforts you would love to alleviate. Then consider the following actions: 1. Ruminate about what helpers and professionals might be best able to assist you. Make appointments with them. 2. Perform a ritual in which you seek blessings from your liveliest spirit guides and sympathetic ancestors. 3. Make a list of three actions you will take to make yourself feel better. 4. Treat this process not a somber struggle, but as a celebration of your mounting vitality.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Beatles were the bestselling band of all time and among the most influential, too. Their fame and fortune were well-earned. Many of the 186 songs they composed and recorded were beautiful, interesting, and entertaining. Yet none of four members of the band could read music. Their brilliance was intuitive and instinctual. Is there a comparable situation in your life, Virgo? A task or skill that you do well despite not being formally trained? If so, the coming months will be a good time to get better grounded. I invite you to fill in the gaps in your education.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 2010, Edurne Pasaban became the first woman to climb the world’s tallest 14 mountains, reaching the top of Shishapangma in China. In 2018, Taylor Demonbreun arrived in Toronto, Canada, completing a quest in which she visited every sovereign nation on the planet in 18 months. In 1924, explorer
Week of October 9th
Alexandra David-Néel pulled off the seemingly impossible feat of visiting Lhasa, Tibet, when that place was still forbidden to foreigners. Be inspired by these heroes as you ruminate about what frontier adventures you will dare to enjoy during the next six months. Design a plan to get all the educational and experimental fun you need.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Alnwick Garden is an unusual network of formal gardens in northeast England. Among its many entertaining features is the Poison Garden, which hosts 100 species of toxic and harmful plants like hemlock, strychnine, and deadly nightshade. It’s the most popular feature by far. Visitors enjoy finding out and investigating what’s not good for them. In accordance with astrological omens, Scorpio, I invite you to use this as an inspirational metaphor as you take inventory of influences that are not good for you. Every now and then, it’s healthy to acknowledge what you don’t need and shouldn’t engage with.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian Tom Rath is an inspirational author who at age 49 has managed to stay alive even though he has wrangled with a rare disease since he was 16. He writes, “This is what I believe we should all aim for: to make contributions to others’ lives that will grow infinitely in our absence. A great commonality we all share is that we only have today to invest in what could outlive us.” That’s always good advice for everyone, but it’s especially rich counsel for you Sagittarians in the coming months. I believe you will have a special capacity to dispense your best gifts those who need and want them.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Sontag was a public intellectual. She was an academic with a scholarly focus and an entertaining commentator on the gritty hubbub of popular culture. One of my favorite quotes by her is this one: “I like to feel dumb. That’s how I know there’s more in the world than me.”
In other words, she made sure her curiosity and openmindedness flourished by always assuming she had much more to learn. I especially recommend this perspective to you in the coming weeks.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
took place in Massachusetts from 1692 to 1693. They were ignorant, superstitious prosecutions of people accused of practicing witchcraft. The modern holiday known as Freethought Day happens every October 12, the anniversary of the last witch trial. The purpose of this jubilee is to encourage us to treasure objective facts, to love using logic and reason, and to honor the value of critical thinking. It’s only observed in America now, but I propose we make it a global festival. You Aquarians are my choice to host this year’s revelries in celebration of Freethought Day. You are at the peak of your ability to generate clear, astute, liberating thoughts. Show us what it looks like to be a lucid, unbiased observer of reality
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
named Andy George decided to make a chicken sandwich. But he didn’t buy the ingredients in a store. He wanted to make the sandwich from scratch. Over the next six months, he grew wheat, ground it into flour, and used it to bake bread. He milked a cow to make cheese and butter. He got sea salt from ocean water and grew a garden of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and dill for toppings. Finally, he went to a farm, bought a chicken, and did all that was necessary to turn the live bird into meat for the sandwich. In describing his process, I’m not suggesting you do something similar. Rather, I’m encouraging you to be thorough as you solidify your foundations in the coming months. Gather resources you will need for long-term projects. Be a connoisseur of the raw materials that will assure future success in whatever way you define success.
