7 DAYS, JAN. 29: AGEISM IS DISCRIMINATION I’m really sick and tired of the Reporter’s casual snarkiness towards seniors. This is the second time I’ve seen the same, tired (and unfunny) line used—basically “not for you, old people.”

Would you ever say, “not for you, people of color?”

This is the second time we’ve called you out on your ageism.

So here’s some information that may be hard for you to get. I’m 67 and I like Billie Eilish’s music and yeah, I think her hair is pretty cool too. Thanks for reducing me, one of your readers, to a stereotype.

This persistent ageism is your ageism, Ms. Editor—since you either write this column or you’re cool with the author’s prejudice.

I’m not holding out any hope that you’ll print this second request to cut it out and/ or seriously reflect on the truth, that what’s really hip and cool is to not be prejudiced and cruel—at any age.

I would have included the Santa Fe Community College, because wherever you go in our fair city—be it the dentist, the grocery store, the library, or Dr. Field Goods— you’re bound to receive service or care from a poised and empowered SFCC grad.

SFCC has a smart, forward-thinking president at the helm, a freshly-minted faculty union and several promising new board members—not to mention an amazing and dynamic student body. There’s no better time to celebrate the college’s efforts and acknowledge its impact. With excellent services, low costs, and a top-notch faculty, SFCC is one of the things I love most about the City Different.

Good and Plenty Advocates say benefit corporations will bolster New Mexico’s economy

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

A

bill that would allow New Mexico businesses to designate themselves as benefit corporations— thus committing to the social good along with the bottom line—is back for at least the fourth time in this year’s Legislature, with supporters cautiously optimistic about its passage.

Sponsor state Rep. Zachary Cook, a self-described “conservative Republican from Ruidoso,” chatted with SFR briefly after the bill received a unanimous dopass vote from members of the House Commerce and Economic Development Committee on Jan. 29. It was frustrating, he says, when former Republican Gov. Susana Martinez pocket-vetoed the bill in 2013, and also seeing it stall out in last year’s session.

“It will be good for the economy,” he says. “And it could have happened a long time ago.”

Indeed: Only 13 states had embraced the concept of benefit corporations when Cook first introduced the bill. Today, more than 35 of them, along with Washington, DC, have passed legislation allowing for benefit corporations, according to the Secretary of State’s office in the bill’s fiscal analysis report, which says the law will cost the state $10,000.

In the same report, the state Economic Development Department suggests creating the new designation could “provide for additional investment flow” and would allow New Mexico to better compete with neighboring states that provide benefit corporation designations, such as Arizona, Colorado and Texas. The report also cites US Social Investment Forum data that benefit corporations have raised nearly $2 billion in capital with nearly $6 trillion currently invested in some form of socially responsible tool.

The bill has a history of bipartisanship support. Cook first co-sponsored it with Tim Keller, former Democratic state senator turned Albuquerque mayor. This year, state Rep. Natalie Figueroa, D-Albuquerque, is co-sponsor. Moreover, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who included the bill on her call for the session,

“is generally supportive of the concept,” Tripp Stelnicki, the governor’s director of communications, confirms via email.

On Feb. 3, the bill passed the House Judiciary Committee with three amendments, after addressing some lawmakers’ concerns about liability provisions in the bill. That passage puts it on track for a possible House floor vote this week, after which it would move on to Senate committees.

As written, House Bill 118 would expand the state’s Business Corporation Act to allow businesses and corporations to voluntarily identify as benefit corporations. Broadly speaking, a benefit corporation takes the public good—stakeholders’ Glenn Schiffbauer, executive director of the Santa Fe Green Chamber of Commerce, left, and State Rep. Zachary Cook, R-Ruidoso, confer in advance of a hearing by the House Commerce concerns—into account along with makand Economic Development Committee on Cook’s bill to create benefit corporation status. ing a profit for its shareholders.

Education Without Borders

Santa Fe’s first Plaza Comunitaria will start offering basic literacy and education classes for Spanish speakers this month

Cipriana Jurado Herrera is the coordinator of a new educational program that’s funded by the Mexican Consulate.

B Y K AT H E R I N E L E W I N k a t h e r i n e @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

S

panish speakers who need help with basic literacy and education, including computer skills, will now have a new place to learn. The local nonprofit EarthCare and the Consulate of Mexico in Albuquerque partnered to establish a Plaza Comunitaria in Santa Fe. The consulate has promised to provide a curriculum and textbooks for the first such program in the city. The program is for Spanish-speaking adults to

work on their elementary and secondary education, all for free.

Plaza Comunitaria in Santa Fe will be New Mexico’s second such program in operation. The Cibola County Correctional Center houses one program, and another is set to begin soon in Albuquerque, according to the Santa Fe program’s coordinator, Cipriana Jurado Herrera.

Four different certified courses are set to start this month at the Zona del Sol building on the Southside, including primary education and computer classes,

basic literacy in Spanish and beginner English lessons.

Enrollment is underway, though an exact start date has not been decided yet.

The consulate supports programs that benefit Mexican nationals living in the United States and to introduce the Mexican culture to others, though any Spanish speaker is welcome.

“One of the things that excited us is that here people are from other countries,” Jurado says. “Spanish-speaking people can come and get certified and this is because the government of Mexico has educational agreements with several countries. It doesn’t matter, people from El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala can come. There are also people from Colombia, Venezuela.”

EarthCare has been working on the agreement with the consulate for the last several months, after establishing a working relationship with it over the years, holding events like health fairs and offering help to Mexican nationals with getting proper documentation.

But the employees and volunteers at EarthCare noted another issue in the city they hope to remedy with these basic classes.

“We have been told that many parents cannot help their children with their homework and this is because they don’t understand the classes their children are taking,” Jurado tells SFR in Spanish.

She hopes education will empower parents to be more involved in the community, in their children’s lives and in the management of the district’s schools.

A lack of basic literacy in New Mexico is not a new issue. About 46% of the state’s population is functionally illiterate, with an estimated nearly 1 million adults needing literary services, according to the New Mexico Coalition for Literacy. Among New Mexicans older than 16, 20% are at the lowest level of literacy, which means they struggle to find basic information in a news article or add purchases on a receipt.

NEWS

Such a large portion of the population not having basic math, reading and writing skills, whether in English or Spanish, could be having a negative impact on Spanish speakers’ ability to advance financially. In New Mexico, around 64% of jobs require a literacy competency above the second level of literacy. Only 12% of jobs require people with skills at the lowest level.

To combat the problem, Acosta wants to move beyond the Plaza Comunitaria to open Colegio Sin Fronteras, which would offer higher-level classes for adults in order to act as a funnel to institutions like the Santa Fe Community College, or even allow people to start or finish degrees right at Zona del Sol. “If you are learning math, you will also learn about family and healthy community,” Miguel Acosta, co-director of EarthCare, tells SFR in Spanish.

“Community education is not just about learning things but about learning things to transform yourself, your family and the community. That is the point of the Plaza Comunitaria and the curriculum.”

Acosta says the nonprofit will launch a funding campaign this month so the proposed Colegio Sin Fronteras can hire staff and buy materials like laptops for the students to use.

For now, the students who will begin taking twice-weekly classes this month are the base of what could be a wider project.

“Several years ago they did a survey where they compared students who finished high school courses through the Plaza Comunitaria and those who participated in GED classes,” Acosta says.

“When taking the GED test, of those two groups, those in the Plaza Comunitaria had a better passing rate than those who took the GED course.”

ey, look at this cake,” my friend said one day, showing me a photo on his Facebook feed. My jaw dropped. It was so beautiful, I was expecting the creator to be out of New York, or maybe Paris, but not at all—the creator was local, and my friend knew her.

Such world-class technique is not uncommon in Santa Fe, and I was naïve to be surprised. I asked my friend to make a connection for me so I could learn more about the exquisite cake craftswoman, and start meeting with other chefs in town.

My first conversation with Jessica Bransford blossomed into a chain of chefs, each recommending another whom they often patronize. I spoke with many of them in between customers or after shifts, and they talked about what motivates them to keep cooking for the people and guests of our city. They all readily discussed who they think is doing good work, and I was happy to see such a supportive community. For a city our size, you’d think there would be fierce competition among chefs, but I noticed none.

Rather, each person on this list reflects the highest values of the hospitality industry and is motivated by deep connections to the earth and their guests.

rd

“

Jess Jessica Bransford works at Paloma (401 S Guadalupe St, 467-8624), where she holds the position of executive pastry chef. She’s the third generation of female chefs to emerge from her family; her mom and grandma were both executive chefs in the Sacramento area. Her grandma came to Santa Fe in 1989, and her mom followed with Bransford in 2003, taking a position at Harry’s Roadhouse. Her young niece is already interested in cooking, and Bransford hopes to mentor the family’s fourth generation chef.

Like any great origin story, Bransford didn’t start out dedicated to pastry. She was studying culinary arts and forensics at Santa Fe Community College, which involved a lot of chemistry, when the folks at Santacafé threw her on the pastry line in 2010. Baking is just applied chemistry, of course, so

ra B a c i

she quickly grasped the technical side while bringing her own distinct, minimalist and gestural style to her pieces.

“I chose fine dining because it’s really deconstructed,” Bransford tells SFR. “They take really really good ingredients and they cook them flawlessly, and I was really into that.

The plating is just beautiful. When you say culinary arts, that’s artwork right there.”

Still, Bransford says, pastry artists are often overlooked in fine dining despite producing some of the most delicious work. There’s a lot to learn, too, and what’s often thought of as “pastry” in the kitchen can incorporate numerous disciplines like chocolate, bread and sugar work.

She says she thrives at Paloma because she shares the values of the other chefs she works with.

“Make things approachable,” she explains. “Cook with integrity,

and serve something beautiful and what’s kind of different from what’s in Santa Fe.” I asked Bransford for two recommendations, just in case one thread fell through. She recommended the work of James Caruso Campbell at La Boca and Mark Kiffin at the Compound. Two classic Santa Fe choices, known for their consistency, dedication and bold approach.

It’s also worth noting that not just one, but two different folks down the line re-recommended Paloma and their take on Mexican food; it’s truly the chefs’ restaurant.

Select Dish: Bransford has a hand in the restaurant’s ubiquitous blue corn tortillas, the flour for which is ground fresh every morning. She’s also a big fan of slow-roasted meats; the two combine in the smoked brisket taco ($6), topped with salsa guajillo, pickled onions and poblano rejas.

throughout the year to incorporate dishes from the restaurant’s history, an open house (date TBD) and, on the horizon, a new book celebrating the space’s famous Alexander Girard interior design alongside the artistry behind Kiffin’s plates.

“We’re a true wing of the [International] Folk Art Museum,” Kiffin says.

The restaurant’s been around since 1966 and is a work of art unto itself, but something special comes together when a plate of Kiffin’s food is delivered to a table surrounded by Girard’s design, and he’s thought about that aspect carefully since becoming owner.

“The key of [the book] is—it’s not just another chef’s cookbook… we’re gonna be doing the history and the art within the building itself, and food as art,” he says about his upcoming book, which he’s working on with local publisher David Chickey to appear in the next year.

Despite the high culture, the Compound is easily one of the most

Jessica Bransford’s recommendations also led me to get in touch with James Campbell Caruso.

I may be a fresh foodie, but I’ve been around enough to notice that La Boca (72 W Marcy St, 9823433) consistently tops the lists of best restaurants in Santa Fe. Speaking to chef Caruso on the phone, I soon understood why. hos “It’s a real intimate thing, hospitality and inviting people into your house,” he says. “My house is La Boca, so it’s an important

genuine, grounded fine dining establishments in town. The menu is tailored to each season and is kind to the guest, describing familiar, quality ingredients rather than overloading diners with fine-dining or culinary mumbo-jumbo. Kiffin was welcoming and enthusiastic during our conversation, and he passes that value along to his staff.

Kiffin looks for a similar vibe in the places he likes to eat.

“I live out by Arroyo Vino, so I go there on a pretty regular basis,” he says. After mentioning the wine list and his personal connections with the folks there, he sums up his main point: “it’s just easy for me to get in and out…and they always take good care of us.”

Select Dish: Sometimes winter can be hard for vegetarians, as nothing’s really fresh and processed foods beckon ever stronger. Chef Kiffin’s winter menu has your fix: wild mushrooms and organic stoneground polenta ($28) with black truffle relish, shaved parmesan and organic watercress.

thing for me to get right and make sure people are genuinely happy, and that’s what we talk about with our staff all the time.”

This value was more or less echoed by every chef I spoke with, but Caruso was the first to state it so clearly at the top of his priorities.

Folks go to La Boca for small plates when they want to connect with friends or relatives, to spend a long time with good food and unwind. “[My Italian grandma] taught me how to cook,” Caruso tells SFR. “I thought everyone ate as well as we did, and I got out in the world and realized, ‘oh, some

people need other people to cook for them.’”

Bransford spoke highly of La Boca’s steak served with salted caramel, which struck me as an inspired and innovative dish. Like, candy steak? Yes, please. Chef Caruso recommended chef Joseph Wrede of Joseph’s Culinary Pub in a similar vein; he’s independent, creative and pushes food into new and exciting realms.

Select Dish: That steak with caramel sauce ($15) is intriguing, but I’m more interested by the symphony of flavors in the alcachofas ($15): grilled artichokes covered in Spanish goat cheese, orange zest and mint.

Joseph’s Culinary Pub (428 Agua Fria St; 982-1272) is a low-key powerhouse of culinary arts just a few steps from the Railyard. The project started in Taos 20 years ago, but moved to Santa Fe in 2014. When asked about his motivations to cook, chef Joseph Wrede says he’s drawn to “the way to express yourself through edible language form, good and bad.”

New Mexico’s centuries-old traditions are his medium; he specifically mentions lamb and the history of red and green chile.

“Taking those ingredients

that are relatively accessible and putting them into slightly different configurations so that they pack more flavor and they look more beautiful or they taste cleaner,” he says.

In a town of artists and chefs, Wrede values his ability to create art in the dining experience, from the plate to the environment to the service.

Who in town does Joseph Wrede think is of similar artistic caliber?

“I like Dale Kester’s food at Santacafé,” he says. “I just like the energy he’s putting into his food.

How he’s really trying to express himself through his flavors and his presentations.”

Select Dish: Wrede’s Chicken Under a Brick ($28) captures his involved approach to his foods.

Yeah, there’s a brick involved to get that perfect charred edge while keeping it juicy, plus shiitake mushroom and bacon sautée, brussels sprouts with truffle and Parmigiano Reggiano, and a hot tomato confit.

Her recommendation again reflects her values of seeking out experiences that connect to the source of fine dining. She turns me towards Johnny Ortiz, founder of the /Shed (shed-project. com/johnny-ortiz) project.

“He forages and preserves, and his story is really interesting for how he serves meals. You just kinda sign up for an email and get on a list, and when he releases the dates you gotta get ‘em, I think it’s like 10 seats per dinner?” she describes, but I was already pulling up Ortiz’s website after she said “forage.”

Select Dish: Out of the handmade pastas chef Jenkins has brought to the menu, the cavatelli ($23) is what I would spring for. It’s got more of those wild mushrooms I crave deeply, plus spinach, toasted hazelnuts for some crunch and parmesan cheese.

As chef Allison Jenkins described the reasons she was drawn to work at Arroyo Vino (218 Camino La Tierra; 983-2100), 983-2100) it sounded like the ideal situation for a chef. She started her career in Santa Fe at a Coyote Café externship in 2002, graduating from the Culinary Institute of America’s Hyde Park campus the year after and working for a few years in Massachusetts’ Martha’s Vineyard before heading back west. She returned

to Santa Fe in 2018 after piloting the Hotel St. George in Marfa, Texas.

“Arroyo Vino was particularly attractive because there’s no breakfast or lunch or room service or all the trappings that come with a big hotel job… and also, there’s the garden on site, it’s great to have your own produce,” she says. “To use that and have the creativity from whatever pops up in the moment.”

Jenkins is a serious and down-toearth chef, connected to the soil that provides her materials and focused on creating experiences to reflect that connection. She loves handmade, fresh pasta and introduced a small section on the menu that changes every couple of months.

“It’s a little less formal than ordering an entree, but still really satisfying at the same time,” she muses. “You can come in and have a couple small plates,

Mampuku (1965 Cerrillos Road; 772-0169) is a relative newcomer to Santa Fe’s culinary scene, but owner Iba Fukuda is not.

Owner of the now-defunct Shokho Cafe, and current owner of Naruto Café in Albuquerque, which also serves ramen, Fukuda’s family has excelled at bringing quality Japanese food to New Mexico since 1975.

As for Jenkin's recommendation of Johnny Ortiz, I reached out but we didn't connect, and that's a shame—from what I gather, he brings small groups into rural Northern New Mexico and serves a meal featuring wild-foraged ingredients on ceramics hand-made with locally sourced clay.

lifelong passion was aerospace engineering, but he started making food for other people at age 14 and something clicked, setting him off on a 19-year career across the country. He came to Santacafé following a two-year stint at New York City’s Restaurant Daniel, which boasts two prestigious Michelin stars, but he was a sous chef at Joseph’s Culinary Pub for three and a half years before that.

I was kind of intimidated to learn about Kester’s stint at Restaurant Daniel, but for no good reason; it seems Santa Fe is really his style, as he enjoys the more laid-back and simpler delights like a big bowl of ramen from Mampuku. “I don’t think a bowl of their ramen has ever gone

Speaking with Dale Kester, I get a deeper sense of that “energy” of which Wrede spoke.

“I love to put my heart and soul in a plate,” he says.

The success that Santacafé (231 Washington Ave; 984-1788) has enjoyed since re-opening in August of last year is evidence of that effort. Kester’s been there since then, and says he appreciates the restaurant’s historic location in the heart of downtown, along with the brand’s reputation and the restaurant’s new owner, Quinn Stephenson, who also owns Coyote Café.

“I’m happy to be part of that lineage,” he notes.

But Kester wasn’t always destined for that lineage. His first

and appetizers that have proven insanely popular and delicious. Both times I’ve gone, it was packed with young folks and the table turnaround time was quick. I stopped by one weekday afternoon to ask for Fukuda’s take on how things have went since their August opening; it turns out, they’re going fabulously.

“People have been really loving ramen. The response has been overwhelmingly positive from the community since we opened,” Fukuda says. She’s quick to pass that love back to the community: “I like Jambo, and Dr. Field Goods,” she says, gesturing broadly at her neighbors further down the Cerrillos corridor.

SFR readers will be familiar with Jambo’s chef Ahmed Obo—he’s won

sive approach, so, Johnny, if you're reading this... wanna do a podcast with SFR? So many chefs mention "love"—what's up with that? It's like some special, secret ingredient that makes all food better or something. I'm not sure from where they're sourcing it, but I hope it's organic. At any rate, there's dozens more culi-

Best Chef in our Best of Santa Fe competition every year for the past five. “At Dr. Field Good’s, they’re farm to table, there’s just a lot of love being put into their food,” Fukuda says about chef Josh Gerwin’s cooking.

Select Dish: There’s at least eight different types of ramen to chose from, but I’ll make it easy: go for the black tonkatsu ($11.95). The pork broth gains a soul-filling depth from black garlic oil and comes topped with nori, bamboo shoots, pork slices and the traditional boiled egg. If you’re looking for an izakaya, I can’t over-recommend the takoyaki ($5), or octopus dumplings; an almost-sweet batter surrounds tender chunks of octopus and is fried to a deep gold color.

nary artists in town who I didn’t get the chance to speak to but definitely deserve some love, too.

Nominations for our Best of Santa Fe readers poll are open through March 15 (sfreporter.com/ bosf ), and we want to hear what the people think.

But first, make sure you’re well-informed; give all the chefs here a visit.

LIVING HISTORY A lecture about the history of theater in America from someone who helped write the history of theater in America? Sign us up. Robert Benedetti, founder and co-artistic director of New Mexico Actors Lab, has a long line of accomplishments behind him, not the least of which includes time as chairman of acting at Yale Drama School. He delves into his own career for a Renesan lecture about the history of regional theater. “My lecture will be a purely personal remembrance of the ’50s and ’60s when we truly believed that resident companies would cure the ills of the American theater,” Benedetti tells SFR, “which most of us felt was caught in the naturalistic rut of the ’30s and ’40s.” Learn more about what a subscription model and brick-andmortar versus touring meant for smaller companies, right from the horse’s mouth.(Charlotte Jusinski)

Even your friends who act like they’re too good for musical theater know ’em, and you could sing or hum the songs at the drop of a hat? In this case we’re talking Fiddler on the Roof, one of the finest pieces of theater known to humankind, and a nonstop hit parade of great songs. “Tradition?” “If I Were a Rich Man?” “Wedding Dance?” They’re all in there and they’re all amazing. Anyway, the talented youths of the New Mexico School for the Arts tackle the show about a Jewish family in Russia trying to get by under terrible conditions, and all we can say is good luck withthe bottle dance, kids—we know you can do it.

MUSIC TUE/11 MURDER MACHINE We honestly can’t tell you how many times people have told us they assumed Murder by Death is a metal band, but the fact is, they’re just the kind of thing Santa Fe would probably rally around. We’re talking a darker take on folky tunes and alt.country, a juke-joint sort of thing via Tom Waits now and then, but rocky and rolly and sweet. It’s the sort of music that keeps a band going strong for decades and, as fate would have it, the Indiana-based band is celebrating two of those—decades, that is—with a national tour celebrating the accomplishment.

They’re coming to Meow Wolf, obviously, and we imagine it’ll sell out quick, so hurry and believe us, locals—you’re gonna love this. (ADV) Murder by Death: 7 pm Tuesday, Feb. 11. $23. Meow Wolf, 1352 Rufina Circle, 395-6369.

ART OPENING FRI/7

V-Day Zalma Lofton Gallery lends a loving hand Valentine’s Day is coming, and there’s nothing you or anyone can do to stop it.

It’s right behind you, actually, breathing heavily and placing its ice-cold tentacles on your shoulders as if to say “Don’t fuck this up…”

And you won’t, so long as you heed our advice and, instead of hitting up CVS in a panic to buy your person whatever Russell Stover nonsense is by the register, go local at Zalma Lofton Gallery. For the third year runnin’, proprietor Alberto Zalma invites a trio of local artists to show alongside his own trademark style (radical skeletons), particularly in the milieu of love. This year, you’ll find Lauren Aguilar, Victor Macias and Christopher Merlyn tabling with original pieces, small ephemera and one-of-a-kind items.

“It really all started with Lauren,” Zalma tells SFR. “She always makes really cool things for Valentine’s Day, so we decided to do pop-ups—the idea is to have stuff cooler than your average gift.”

This includes jewelry, paintings, photos, prints, candles, mugs and more, all

from artists hand-selected by Zalma.

Really, anything the artists care to show up with is bound to be better than that Sir Huggington stuffed bear you’ve hidden in your closet like you’re a champion, and with some items starting at a mere $5, it’s a no-brainer.

“They always surprise me,” Zalma says of the artists, “and affordability, accessibility are important. It’s super affordable.”

Zalma says it’s also a chance for those who haven’t spent much time in galleries to do so, plus you’ll find food and drink and DJ Ride banging out the ones and twos as a soundtrack. Zalma says these events have morphed into killer after-parties in the past, and it sounds like that might happen this time, too.

Luminous: Tribute to women astronomers who shaped our understanding of the Universe

Bette Korber

Los Alamos National Laboratory

During the last century four women astronomers stood out for their fundamental contributions to astronomy. They discovered the distances to stars, the chemical makeup of the universe, revealed the significance of dark matter and made a compelling case for an ever-expanding universe.

Los Alamos scientist Bette Korber will highlight the challenges and triumphs of these scientists who helped blaze trails through the Milky Way and beyond.

She described how the police pulled her from the room as Fred lay unconscious on their bed. She heard one officer say, "He's still alive." She then heard two shots. A second officer said, "He's good and dead now." She looked at Jeff and asked, "What can you do?" Fifty years later, Haas finds that there is still an urgent need for the revolutionary systemic changes Hampton was organizing to accomplish.

Indigo Girls, Lyla June Johnston, Winona LaDuke... best night ever!

BY AEDRA BURKE a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

F

irst things first: Ignore anyone who says music isn’t supposed to be political. It always has been, from Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring inciting a riot in Paris (read about it, it’s fascinating), to the anti-war protest music of the ’60s, to the overt political lyricism of ’90s hip-hop; the seeds of activism and community organization all have inextricable ties to music.

On a local level, look to performance poet and musician Lyla June Johnston, who appears on Thursday Feb. 6 at the It Takes A Village mini-festival at the Alhambra Theatre inside the Scottish Rite Temple. Also slated to appear are activist Winona LaDuke and legendary folk-rock duo Indigo Girls. The show aims to support charities that center Indigenous environmental justice: Honor The Earth (honortheearth.org) and Traditional Native American Farmers (tnafa.org). Johnston (Diné and Tsétsêhéstâhese) says the causes are close to her heart, adding that she lives “to heal and support this world, which is in a lot of pain.”

Performance-wise, Johnston says she’s been described as “sort of a Renaissance woman,” and her resume backs that up. She’s a scholar, designer, community organizer, hip-hop artist and now

Indigo Girls are doing it for the environment.

a politician, running for a seat in the New Mexico House of Representatives.

“All of these different things are different ways of serving my community,” Johnston says, adding that she doesn’t identify as an activist. “[I’m a] normal person with normal concerns about water, about climate change and equality. Hiphop is a vehicle for the voices of marginalized people.”

Her music, though difficult to find and seemingly contained to a single Soundcloud profile (soundcloud.com/lylajune) combines acoustic instrumentation, powerful alto vocals and segments of spoken word that bear little resemblance to 808-dominated mainstream hip-hop. The connection to the genre comes in the form of her lyricism. As I say, politics are intertwined, and Johnston knows this well.

Still, she says, her foray into the political sphere could signal an evolution of message delivery systems.

“The times are changing when a Native woman is finally able to bring her voice into the political discourse,” she says, “and not fully rely on hip-hop.”

Headlining It Takes A Village are another set of activists—Indigo Girls. To many, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray have been a prominent face of LGBTQ activism for over 30 years, but for the past 27, Ray and Saliers have been working (mostly) behind the scenes for Honor The Earth.

“Emily and I were doing environmental work, we heard Winona LaDuke speak, and we thought ‘wow we need to be doing environmental work, and seeing things through the Indigenous lens,’” Ray tells SFR. Honor The Earth was born, and through that lens, Ray and Saliers have consistently evolved their music to tackle some of those issues. Most notably, the 2015 release One Lost Day and the song “Texas Was Clean,” a beautifully constructed ballad that might be a love letter to the Lone Star State on the surface, but which sneaks in the line “The brown and the white, the rich and the poor, taking the hit for the team.”

The struggle goes beyond protecting ecosystems. There’s just one planet, after all, and, according to Ray, the intermin-

gling of causes tends to show itself as time goes by.

“If someone says to me that they don’t want to do environmental work, but [they] want to work on food desert work, they’re going to realize in about a year’s time that there’s environmental issues that they’re going to be working on,” Ray says. “Or if they want to work on immigration issues, they might be working with a community that’s adjacent to a toxic waste dump.”

Besides, calls to action don’t only take the form of large-scale protests. It’s often easy to forget that the best work can be done small-scale.

“You can get discouraged by our administration right now and how chaotic it feels,” Ray explains, “but you can look locally and say ‘look at this cool soup kitchen that’s doing great work,’ or a farming project that’s growing hemp in an area that didn’t have an economy before, and now it does.”

Kabotie

COURTESY RYLAN KABOTIE

Bassist Rylan Kabotie (Santa Clara Pueblo, Hopi and Jicarilla Apache) is on a mission, and it’s one steeped in reggae. A lifelong New Mexican, Kabotie’s band Innastate has spent the last few years building a following, touring, picking up a Native American Music Award for Best Debut Group, being named the Best Reggae Band in Albuquerque by the readers of the Weekly Alibi and releasing their first full-length album, Verde. Kabotie even earned an endorsement from Italian bass-maker Biarnel Liuteria. SFR caught up with Kabotie earlier this week and you can catch up with Innastate when they take the stage at Second Street Brewery’s Rufina Taproom (8 pm Friday Feb. 7. Free. 2920 Rufina St., 954-1068).

(Alex De Vore) I understand you’re into a lot of different kinds of music.

What led you to reggae as a musician?

When I was younger, I started playing music when I was probably around 13. I started playing guitar and didn’t like it. Then I heard Cliff Burton on Metallica’s Anesthesia, and I really wanted to play bass—I didn’t know bass could make those sounds. Not to put too much weight into being a Native person, but it kind of boils down to that, honestly; Native people tend to be into two genres in particular— metal and reggae, and those both make a lot of sense: Metal is pretty angry, and as far as reggae goes...it’s music for the people by the people. As Native American people, we relate to African Americans as far as our story goes.

Reggae is something I grew up with a little bit, my father being a musician, and metal was always my thing, but reggae became a thing because a lot of my family listened to it. I got into a bit more American reggae when we started Innastate.

Does that mean Innastate is political?

I wouldn’t consider us a political band. I think our choice of genre is reggae music. I think American reggae has diluted down to basically party and weed music, which is kind of a bummer. We don’t try to get really political with our music. We have a song on our album... about my struggle as an individual balancing my life, being brought up as a Christian, a little more on the conservative side, and balancing my cultural side, which I didn’t grow up with. I relate it to myself being a Native person, but I don’t think that’s what the song’s about. It just so happens I’m Native, it just so happens I was born Christian—how do I balance those things? Who am I through all of that? We did release a song in collaboration with Native Roots, Def-i and Joy Harjo for the Water Protector’s legal funds up in Standing Rock called “Water is Life.” We had the good...if you wanna say good fortune to go up to Standing Rock and we brought up a bunch of donations from our peeps down here. That’s about as political as we’ve gotten.

You’ve said you want to alter how people perceive Native American music. Can you speak to how your work with Innastate can do this?

Whenever you have any musicians or art or film that is Native-produced or created, it tends to be marketed as such. When people think of Native American music, they think of it as its own niche audience and subcategory. I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing, but it gets annoying. I’m a Native person, but I don’t live in tipis or adobe, I’ve never lived on the rez. I think as Native people in a modern society, we have a lot more to offer as a voice, as a people, than just talking about our stuff. I think a lot of people expect for us to be victims in media, and the thing is, our history isn’t pretty, but we’re not victims. Now more than ever it’s important for us to shed some light on the different types of creations we can do.

This one’s made of white wax on the outside, with a wick poking out the top.

Her head will someday melt, revealing layers of beige and brown.

The dramatic transformation intended for the work won’t occur during its stay in Ellsworth Gallery’s front window, though. I saw the Virgin’s true colors myself on a visit to Martin Wannam’s studio at the UNM Mattox Sculpture Center in Albuquerque, where he has a half-melted copy of the candle propped up on cinder blocks.

We spoke about his exhibit, They, which opened at Ellsworth on Jan. 10 but is having a public reception this Friday. Wannam says the piece in wax is an opportunity to speak to “the subject of whiteness, specifically about how religious iconography predominately is white.”

“I’m getting to think about brown subjects, and thinking about myself and my experience,” he says. “The default beauty has always been imposed…thinking that we’re white or trying to fit this ideal, but we are not, right? So we have to deconstruct ourselves.”

The title of the exhibit is a nod to the multitude of individuals who do not fit the mainstream heteronormative, white, colonial narrative.

Wannam is from Guatemala and is pursuing an MFA in photography at UNM, while also working part-time at SITE Santa Fe. His work mixes photography, sculpture and performance, constructing and deconstructing moments familiar to queer Latinx people in subtle sleights-of-hand that are fully intended to deceive and draw long second looks.

The image used to publicize They is a photo of Wannam’s friend posed like a saint or the Virgin, but awash in soft pastel colors and clearly quite queer.

“I have this piece back home framed in my parents’ house, and my grandma… her

relationships with objects; in one photograph, a postmodern plastic cup takes the place of Jesus’ traditional chalice.

“Not all of my work I perceive as aesthetically pleasing to a specific audience.

But, I use ‘kitsch-sthetic’ as a way of approaching the viewers…plastic has just been my style, to attract people, to talk to about those really heavy subjects.”

The “heavy subjects” in the exhibit are countless incidents of violence against queer people in Latin America, which

“La Creacion Discrimina,” inkjet print. Wannam’s painterly use of glitter is reminiscent of fleeting sand paintings, despite appearances of an imposed, fixed narrative in the statuettes.

A&C

Wannam sees as caused by religiously motivated discrimination. Several of the pieces in They commemorate specific people and events in Guatemala.

“If you’re brown or black and you’re poor, or queer or transgender, that’s even worse, because people don’t pay attention to you,” Wannam says. “The ones that go through into the [justice] system are the ones that have a little bit of privilege, and are able to navigate that system.”

In a few works of sculpture, insulating foam has been crammed into a frameshaped space and bursts at the edges, defining its own geometry as it engulfs little plastic saint statues.

“I’m caught up in myself. Because I was raised in a heterosexual Catholic environment I’m like, ‘ugh I cannot do that,’” Wannam says when I ask about his process behind the work. “But then I’m like, ‘of course I can…’ [I’ve been] thinking about specific social constructs that we have to follow, that specific action of queerness and thinking like, ‘no, we can swallow them,’ but they’re still there, a little bit.”

In his role as a performance artist, Wannam has swallowed chocolate versions of baby Jesus in front of Guatemalan churches.

“People don’t even stop,” he says. “I like the idea of being near church, I’m quite interested in disrespecting specific beliefs of people. Not in trying to be like, ‘I wanna disrespect you,’ but the idea of making someone think outside of what they are used to, even to make them mad—I love that.”

Despite its subversive and contemporary appeal, Wannam is engaged in a centuries-old tradition of altering Catholic imagery. There are plenty of connections to be made between They and, for instance, the early Spanish Colonial Cuzco School paintings of the 1600s. Where Indigenous artists once used native plants to decorate their paintings, Wannam appropriates the glittery plastic found littering urban scenes; he alters representations of people to make them more familiar to an intended audience, asserting a new narrative while taking on outwardly “reverent” appearances.

In Wannam’s case, it’s not so much an appearance as a total inversion of the divine, making people into saints and elevating lived human experiences. For a moment, we can join Wannam in his utopia and reject the conditions of the here and now—conditions that produce violence and trauma; for our survival, we must find time to do so, and They is an essential work towards that end.

ith a city hearing to be scheduled, the future of a wheat paste mural depicting the Palestinian struggle that appeared on the walls outside an Eastside Santa Fe home remains in flux, but will reportedly get at least a little due process.

material and colors of the mural, which appeared overnight on his property on Jan. 5, did not conform to historic district standards. In an email to SFR, city spokeswoman Lilia Chacon was adamant that the mural’s politically charged content did not play a part in the decision.

Bits and pieces of the mural have already been torn down by unknown parties.

The mural itself was created and executed by Arizona-based Navajo artist and activist Remy, who is launching direct actions in Iowa during the lead-up to the presidential caucus. SFR spoke with Remy by phone to get a clearer

SFR: Can you tell us about the impetus behind the mural?

Remy: I think it was just to bring attention to the Palestinian struggle in terms of colonization and genocide.

Indigenous struggle has never been relegated to predetermined borders, and being that this is stolen land, I wanted to expand it beyond borders and create a mural that depicts accurately what’s going on.

It was pretty obvious that Santa Fe has a racist culture in the sense of this mural consistently being defaced, the struggle being erased, so while people are living on stolen land, they take Indigenous struggle and erase it. I’m only here, but it’s in other countries, too, and that was a slap in the face. I wanted to bring to light some of these images and, aside from one of them, I just took them from the media—they’re images that are available online, and if you just do a little bit of research, you’ll be able to find them yourself. I know a lot of folks on the other side of this wanted to say the images are manufactured or only tell one side of the story, but the story is what it is, and I invite them to do a little research themselves and educate themselves. I know this term has been used in other movements, but I wanted to bring the war home.

Can you talk about the parallels you’re drawing between the treatment of Palestinians in the Middle East and Indigenous people here in the States?

When ships landed on our shores, what we were seeing was the separation of families. When Columbus came over, the first thing he did was, he separated the men and boys, and they were sent to mine gold and housed in prisons. The women and the girls were used as sex slaves and trafficked between his crew.

When you look at today, we have extractive industries that are on tribal land—it’s all tribal land really—creating man camps to extract whatever there is.

Look at the Dakota Access Pipeline—and other areas, like Line 3 and KXL—and man camps being built inside these communities. What happened is, there’s a huge spike in the population in terms of drugs, sex trafficking and missing women and Two-Spirit folks as well. They become the targets of what’s being perpetuated for over 520 years. In terms of

cages? How people are outraged? This has been happening for 520-plus years.

I wanted to draw those parallels and really take it back to the past.

A lot of people don’t understand the Palestinians are resisting with rocks. [Indigenous people] only had rocks as well, and we may have sharpened them, but we were up against armor and steel. Folks are being targeted, killed and disappeared within the system. In terms of the kids like Faris Odeh, once he’s caught resisting, they can go to his house in the middle of the night, kick down the door and remove him…put him in a system of cages to be terrorized, tortured and so forth.

The virtual wall technology is being shipped to what is known as the border [of the US] and being utilized against the Indigenous people there. And there are a lot of different intersections you can draw from this. Large corporations… are propping up Israeli tech to do this, and when we also look at the shrinking landmass maps of Palestine, you can see over the decades how that has shrunk where some of these, what I call openair prisons, are. Look at Gaza, Jenin, these other places where Palestinian people are housed, and you can find a lot of the same things that [Indigenous people] were exposed to. The parallels abound. If you take a little time and look further than a television screen of Fox News, you’d be able to make an educated decision about where you lie within a human rights crisis.

Homeowner Guthrie Miller had reportedly agreed to have similar artwork applied to his property in 2015 by the organization Santa Feans for Justice in Palestine, but says he wasn’t approached beforehand this time. Obviously he says he’s OK with the content and is appealing the decision to have it removed, but why put up the mural in secret?

Every year there’s this whole Santa Fe Indian Market, and I never see any type of political art, really, that makes me want to go into a gallery. In terms of the medium itself, street art has never, ever asked for permission, and it never will, either. Knowing about this whole struggle, I decided to take it out of that predetermined box and expand it. Some folks I know, racist folks, have taken to trying to take apart the mural itself, and in terms of Indigenous struggle, what people don’t understand is, it isn’t just relegated to one wall. It’s not about borders or one wall—it’s global.

The folks who weren’t understanding of that or who wanted to take knives

A&C

to the images, I think that’s an extension of their families’ legacies in terms of westward expansion. I think the legacy, the history of westward expansion still lies in the DNA of people who are here and that’s in the destruction of our murals. We’re not on the same page, and that’s why I decided to go outside all of that.

The city of Santa Fe seems to be ok with Indigenous people being part of Indian Market, but in terms of our struggle, we’re the things that remind them of their own families’ struggles, and they want to keep that out of it— we’re OK to exist, but only if it’s under glass.

The location of [the mural] is on the way up to Museum Hill, and I think that the art—the institutions—speak to our struggle. I’m certainly confident I’ll never be a part of these institutions, galleries, whatever. I’m sure they wouldn’t welcome any of that inside there, but what’s funny is having to describe this process in terms of wheat paste, in terms of street art…it’s a joke.

I think the only way they’d appreciate something like this would be if it were by some famous artist. I’m in spaces like Standing Rock for over a year, but in places like Santa Fe, they create in the safety of their own homes. I travel with a bulletproof vest, because I don’t know when the door could be kicked in because of something I’m doing or something I’ve done.

Is there any outcome that you feel would be satisfactory?

I think I’m working on a couple different things with some of the local organizations, so if people don’t like seeing these images of Indigenous struggle, very soon, there’s going to be no place you can go without seeing it. I’m going to be turning up with some local folks, and it’s going to extend far beyond one single wall. I do workshops around the country so people can tell their own story. It’s not just going to be about me, it’s going to be about them.

They like our culture. They love everything about us except us. That’s just one wall, and Santa Fe’s filled with walls. What was interesting was, when I was putting up these images, people were stopping and saying ‘It’s so beautiful, thank you, can I help?’

I’ve learned to live on very minimal, scraps, if you will, but I know my impact is viral, and that’s evident. Spectacle is my craft; art is my weapon.

Three Sisters on a Weeknight

BY COLE REHBEIN c o l e @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

W

hen I wrote a few fill-in food columns for Zibby Wilder in December, I made a big stink in the town of Madrid (…bigger?), and I thought I was done-for, never to write in this county again.

But apparently, SFR is into some kinky shit and wanted more of that, fulltime. I was like, “Ok wow, thank you, but I should probably…try to not make people mad like that on a regular basis.”

(The truth is the truth, people!)

So I’m starting out on safe and sacred ground, dedicating my first earnest food column to the three sisters: the trifecta of squash, maize and beans, three plant species native to the Americas and staples of Indigenous cuisine.

I was drawn to exploring the Three Sisters after seeing a recipe from Sean Sherman (Oglala Lakota), the founder of Indigenous food education business The Sioux Chef and author of The Sioux Chef ’s Indigenous Kitchen, the recipient of the 2018 James Beard Award for best cookbook. When he won a 2019 award for leadership from that same organization, he said, “We’re not trying to cook like it’s 1491. We’re trying to take knowledge from the past and evolve it for today.” His recipe in The New York Times takes the dried ingredients and, with a little onion, greens and time, transforms them into a savory, filling bowl of plant-based nutrition.

Delving further, I spoke with Christina Chacon, a local farmer who sells at the Farmers Market,

Restoring maize, beans and squash as proper staples, for the land, the community and health

for some insight into the process behind the ingredients. Her 40-acre Trujillo Family Farms and Orchard on Nambe Pueblo land is four generations in the making; her grandmother is one of the oldest vendors at the market, helping establish not only the Santa Fe instance but also helping markets in Los Alamos and Española.

“We specialize in traditional New Mexican food,” she says between customers. “Everything’s handpicked, organic. The corn grows tall and shades your beans and squash, and that’s why they go together.”

Chacon’s products come with recipes and spice packets, so anyone can quickly jump into culinary experimentations, such as a big bag of Pueblo posole mix for $9. Both dry posole and dry beans take some time and commitment to prepare, but that’s good—the food deserves our attention and respect, as it took a long time for the Earth and farmers to grow it.

FOOD

This recipe is bare-bones; tweak to your liking, and send me your ruthless criticisms.

For folks who work 40+ hours a week, though, it’s hard to find 3+ hours to stir a pot of beans and/or posole—and that’s assuming you remembered to soak them in the first place. Consider making big batches of beans and posole one weekend, and freezing portions in jars or plasticware to use all month. If we’re trying to restore these sisters to their rightful place as staples, we might have to make some compromises to get started.

For a midwinter three sisters dish, we’re basically making a vegan posole stew with a special guest star. You can add turkey, chicken or pork if you’d like, substituting the broth appropriately and cooking the meat before the onions.

However, those meaty flavors really benefit from long stewing, whereas the plant flavors are best just-cooked. Chicken and pork aren’t indigenous to this continent, either, but neither are onions and garlic, so whatever your family is accustomed to will be fine.

A basket of Christina Chacon’s state fair-winning goods, available at the Farmers Market.

INGREDIENTS: Serves 4 • 1 small acorn squash, cut into 1⁄4-inch chunks • Olive or sunflower oil • Salt & pepper • 1 small yellow onion, diced • 3 cloves of garlic, diced or mashed • 1 small can of green chile (optional) • 1⁄2 cup pepitas for garnish • 1 tsp. oregano • 1⁄4 tsp. cumin • 12 ounces canned or frozen precooked posole • 8 ounces canned or frozen beans, such as pinto or anasazi • 4 cups stock • 2 cups water 1. Preheat oven to 425. Toss acorn in olive or sunflower oil, salt and pepper until lightly coated. Roast until just soft, about 35 minutes, turning halfway through.

2. While the acorn roasts, heat oil on medium-high heat and saute onion until soft, adding green chile if desired, adding salt to taste.

3. When the onion is soft, add oregano, cumin and any other herbs and spices you’d think taste good.

Thyme? Sage? A whole-ass bay leaf?

It’s your kitchen, baby. Work it. Once your oil is fragrant, sautée garlic until it’s just golden, about 2 minutes.

4. Add stock, water and bring to a simmer. Add posole and beans; salt and season to taste, and simmer, reducing until squash is done and stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on the posole; make sure it doesn’t get too mushy and keeps a toothsome bite.

5. Serve roast squash on top of bowls of soup; garnish with pepitas and serve with a tortilla.

The Rhythm Section Review: The boring identity

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER

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

Blake Lively enters the globe-traipsing action-esque genre a la The Bourne Identity in The Rhythm Section, a mind-numbingly bad take on novelist Mark Burnell’s book of the same name (Burnell also penned the script). Lively plays Stephanie, a young British woman reeling some years after a plane crash claimed her family. But when a freelance journalist finds her with information about how the plane was actually bombed in a terrorist attack, she stops feeling self-pity and starts feeling revenge-y—this time, it’s personal.

Enter Jude Law, the journalist’s source from MI6, or at least, he was in MI6. He’s prepared to train Stephanie for…no apparent reason, and with a few months of jogging up Scottish hills and swimming through frozen Scottish lochs under her belt, our heroine sets out to uncover the truth and, as she says, solve any lingering issues “violently.” Sojourns to exciting locations like Scotland, Tangier, Madrid and New York City follow, and despite Stephanie’s baffling inability to actually kill most of the people she set out to kill, the people involved in the bomb plot start dropping like flies somehow. No, they don’t

CHASE; SCOTLAND IS GORGEOUS - CONFUSING PLOT; THE EFFING LEADBELLY COVER OVER THE CREDITS

examine her morality beyond a line about how she just couldn’t go through with it.

In fact, The Rhythm Section does such a horrible job explaining who is who and how they were involved (except for the radical Muslim guy— they mention him A LOT) that it’s hard to know what’s happening. When they do manage to identify someone, say, This is Us star Sterling K Brown as an information broker who might know more than he’s letting on—and who is now on our radar for this and the last Predator movie—it still feels inconsequential. Law, meanwhile, hangs around to dole out deus ex machina; Stephanie spends a lot of time looking sick and leaning on walls dramatically or falling to the floor and looking sickly.

Props to director Reed Morano (The Handmaid’s Tale) for at least trying to execute some level of artistry, but when that comes in

the form of shaky cam and just the most excruciatingly drawn-out scenes of nothingness, it’s hard to suss out the good from the bad. Or rather, it feels like only the bad remains. Lively is to be commended as well, maybe, for taking a stab at something decidedly more mature than previous roles, but her character’s motivations are murky at best, and things just kind of happen to or for her. Who did Jude Law piss off to have to be in this movie? The world may never know, just as we’ll never know this film existed in a couple years from now. That’s not a bad thing.

THE GENTLEMEN

Weed and dirty looks in England is the basic plot to Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen.

+ MINDLESSLY ENJOYABLE - SEXUAL ASSAULT; SOOOOO DUDE-ISH

“It’s a Guy Ritchie movie,” I said over the phone, “so it’ll probably be a convoluted if mildly intriguing story set against a laundry list of gangster types and played out over a super-hip soundtrack of throwback bangers.”

“Word,” my friend said. “That sounds fine.”

And fine it was, because The Gentlemen is exactly what you’d expect from the venerable British director as he returns to the organized crime genre—a steady stream of UK-based businesspeople who work in the business of drugs and shooting people and stuff. It’s…fine. Yeah, it’s fine.

We follow the quiet yet violent Mickey (Matthew McConaughey who seemingly treats this role with the same lifeless energy he affords his Lincoln commercials), a London-based, American-born crime boss—presumably because nobody wanted him to even take a crack at a British accent—who, after building a massive weed empire over a few decades, is ready to leave the game and spend more time with his wife (Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery).

He’s even lined up a buyer in the form of American bazillionaire Matthew (Jeremy Strong of HBO’s Succession, who seems to be trying out

some kind of Truman Capote vibe but mostly fails and is awful), but when a ruthless Chinese up-and-comer who goes by Dry Eyes (Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding) pops in to try and buy the farm(s) at a lower price at the same time a tabloid boss decides to ruin Mickey for a perceived social snub, everything starts falling apart and people gots to get got.

Cue soulful bassline.

So, setting aside the needless premise that much of the story is related in flashbacks and didn’t-really-happen vignettes as told by a smarmy PI (Hugh Grant) to Mickey’s number one guy (Charlie Hunnam), The Gentlemen does find time to interject some mini-mystery and humor into its otherwise glum tale of drugs and crime and stuff. Colin Farrell practically saves the movie as a boxing coach mentor to a gaggle of social media-obsessed roustabouts who run afoul of Mickey, and Hunnam’s buttoned-down murderer vibe definitely works. It’s just that McConaughey really phones it in, and we can’t say much more for Strong. Actually, at least McConaughey has a few brief moments of badass or charming; Strong just flounders among the more experienced and/ or talented cast members. Golding, for example, makes for a fairly enjoyable villain—right up until the utterly needless sexual assault scene (can we just get these out of movies, already?) bookended with a bullet or two, and Dockery, who is criminalCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

“Oh, Nic Cage, I just can’t wait for you to start screaming uncontrollably while I morph into a John Carpenter-like thing,” says Joley Richardson in Color out of Space. ly underutilized here, cuts out a notably interesting performance.

Still, much of The Gentlemen feels like a pubescent male power fantasy wherein badasses gleefully kill and make up weird business rules and the women around them grab their junk before disappearing until their next big plot device moment.

Blah, blah, blah. But if you can shut off your brain and go into it knowing you’ll see some guns and weed—and laugh at Farrell’s honestly wonderful supporting role—you should be fine. Yeah, fine.

COLOR OUT OF SPACE

6

+ WHEN IT GETS GOING, IT’S SO WEIRD AND FUN

- IT’S DEFINITELY NOT, LIKE, GOOD

Richard Stanely (an uncredited writer for the disastrous 1996 film Island of Doctor Moreau) puts on his director’s cap for Color Out of Space, a new cosmic horror flick based on a Lovecraft story wherein a literal color from space crashlands on a farm and starts wreaking havoc.

The film version follows the Gardner family, a new-to-the-country bunch who seem to be running from some unexplained trauma and for whom farm life is still an adjustment.

Alpacas roam free, as do the children. Patriarch Nathan (Nicolas Cage) seems well-suited for the new environs, experimenting with recipes and curating a top-notch wine cellar, while wife Theresa (Joely Richardson) and the kids (Madeleine Arthur, Brendan Meyer and Julian

Hilliard) struggle to get onboard while maintaining their Alexandrian witching rituals, love of weed and dog ownership respectively; in the distance, a squatter named Ezra (Tommy Chong, somehow) keeps to himself with his cat, G-Spot.

A cancer subplot is briefly mentioned, though never really explored.

And then it comes—from space! A bizarre, hot-pink meteor crash lands in the Gardner’s front yard, bringing with it a…parasite? Or a fungus? Or some kind of alien? Nobody really knows (Lovecraft loved unknowable horror, didn’t he?), but a super-hot hydrologist named Ward (Elliot Knight) is pretty sure it contaminated the water, so no one should drink it. But they already did drink the water! And if it’s not Nic Cage’s character phasing into a bizarre surfer dude rendition of his hateful (and dead) father while exploding on his family without warning, or his son bafflingly unable to put the fucking alpacas back in the barn, it’s Joely Richardson’s absorbing other people and transforming into a horrifying John Carpenter-esque hybrid spider-person.

Where Color Out of Space fails is in trying to take itself seriously, particularly in the meandering setup and exposition. Characters deliver “As we both know, X happened before we came here,” kind of lines, and clunkily introduced supporting cast members make no discernable mark or difference. When things do finally get cooking, however, it becomes a crazy enjoyable monster movie with some pretty cool practical effects and a wildly unsettling payoff. Stanley’s direction thrives in the moments that could have felt silly but suddenly seem high-stakes, and Cage really

leans into…his whole thing in a way he hasn’t since Con Air (this is meant as a compliment).

Everything becomes a chaotic mess of sci-fi creeps and scares, shot surprisingly beautifully against an untamed nearby forest.

It feels old-school in a way studios have been trying to replicate to no avail in recent years (go to hell, Tom Cruise Mummy), and it must have been a complete blast to make. For audiences, however, it’s tricky to navigate a solid hour before things get weird. But get weird they do, and for those who just want a bit of outlandish sci-fi/ horror, this is just the ticket.

1917

+ IMMERSIVE AND INTENSE; SHOT

BEAUTIFULLY - VERY LITTLE STORY

World War I went down at such a strange cusp in human history—the politics, the evolving technology, the rapidly changing world—that it wound up trapped between modernist experimental ideas and the tail end of aging battlefield tactics. The weaponry, for example, was the most lethal and advanced ever conceived at the time, and those who used it were so new to the equipment that the violence borne down from all sides was some new kind of horrific.

Director Sam Mendes (Skyfall) knows this intimately, because his newest, the harrowing 1917, turns out to be based on a true story related by his grandfather Alfred, who was really there in the trenches of France when the German army enacted a strategic retreat to sow discord, false confidence and confusion among the British troops.

We’re thrown into the fray immediately as Lance Corporals Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Schofield (George MacKay) are ordered by a high-ranking general to carry a ceasefire letter across enemy lines to a hubristic colonel hellbent on pushing the perceived advantage and dug in with 1,600 men some miles away. If they fail, Chapman and Schofield are told, it’ll be a massacre; they’ll need to go on foot, and the stakes are even higher as Blake’s older brother is meant to lead a garrison into battle at the new front line.

Much has been made of Mendes’ seemingly cut-free film, and one really must see it to believe it. 1917 is a technical marvel both in terms of immersion and pacing, but this is no meathead, glory of war nonsense crammed with action scenes and bulging muscles. The violence plays out more on a macro scale, and the conditions facing our heroes are actually few and rather muted; the tone is one of quiet desperation more than it is of fearless heroes meting out righteous bullets at a faceless enemy. In fact, 1917 does not glorify or try to justify war, it simply tells a story contained therein.

It’s not all grand. Sometimes a massive scene crammed with extras wears thin, seemingly drawn out to justify the large scope.

Nobody listens to anyone, either, and a scene with a mud-bound truck just feels pointless.

Of course, it’s possible Mendes was trying to honor his grandfather by including smaller events, and they even sort of humanize some of the nameless soldiers. But the true surprise of the film are the moments of beauty that sneak up on us: cherry blossoms sailing through the wind, a bucket of milk discovered undisturbed, new life growing from the rubble of a destroyed country town—hope, above all else.

+ MERYL STREEP AS MEAN AUNT MARCH

- NOT ENOUGH STREEP

It is a truth universally acknowledged that women in the 19th century didn’t have a plethora of options (nor did they in the 18th century, which is when another famous novel about sisters was written from which this review’s opening lines are cribbed).

Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women tells the story of four sisters: Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth March (Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen), growing up poor in New England during the Civil War. Despite having little, the sisters have spunk and dreams. Particularly Jo who, like Alcott, is the writer in the family. Little Women CONTINUED ON PAGE 35

Little Women: The humblest tasks get beautified if loving hands do them. was a huge hit when it was published in 186869, and it has never been out of print since then. And yet, at the same time, it’s a problematic text if you don’t like stories about women getting married.

Director Greta Gerwig is not the first filmmaker to grapple with contemporary readers’ dissatisfaction with the marriage plot of Little Women. But she is the first to navigate it in a satisfying way. While the film captures cinematically the domestic warmth of the story—the March home is cozy and the sisters bedecked in costumes for the plays they put on for one another and the frocks they wear to parties—it also breaks a domestic story wide open. Gerwig accomplishes this with a narrative slice-and-dice of the original story’s timeline, and an imagined amplification of Jo’s career as a writer.

Ronan acts winningly as Jo, a surrogate for Alcott, who hoped her heroine could end up a literary spinster. “I’m sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for,” Jo says to her mother Marmee (Laura Dern). Alcott also was sick of it. She was involved in the women’s suffrage movement, and the first women to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts.

Little Women doesn’t just pass the Bechdel test; it pays tribute to a woman writer who pushed at the constraints of her time. (Julia Goldberg)

Howard is both schlimazel and schlemiel (Yiddish for unlucky and foolish) in every sense but we can’t help but love him. It’s Sandler in diamond earrings! What’s not to love?

The Safdies have a knack for capturing Howard’s sliver of New York—from the nonstop dialogue to the cacophony of cars honking on the street to the sound of the incessant buzzing of the double-bulletproof entrance to his shop. It’s a completely immersive experience that you sort of can’t wait to get out of.

At the heart of all this chaos is Howard’s biggest gamble yet, a giant Ethiopian black opal he’s planning to put up for auction at a hugely inflated price. “You can see the whole universe in opals,” Howard explains to Boston Celtics star Kevin Garnett (playing himself), who then insists on using the opal as a talisman for his upcoming game.

The opal brings a sense of mysticism to Howard’s seedy world. Daniel Lopatin’s ethereal soundtrack, part sci-fi, part outer-space and part yoga class, adds another layer of depth, elevating Uncut Gems from the excruciatingly real streets of New York to the cosmos.

An absolute must-see for those who could handle 48 hours in Midtown Manhattan. (AS)

- TOTAL AND UNRELENTING CHAOS

Uncut Gems, the new film by the Safdie Brothers (Good Time, Heaven Knows What) sits somewhere between the realm of magical realism and hyper reality. Much like Good Time, the Safdies’ high-stress crime thriller from 2017, Uncut Gems is unrelenting, frenetic and not for the faint of heart.

The film follows Howard “Howie Bling” Ratner (Adam Sandler), a fast-talking, leather jacket-clad, down on his luck diamond dealer and hustler as he desperately tries to pay back his huge gambling debts by placing bigger and riskier bets. He was once at the top (fancy house, fancy car), but has gotten himself into a hole thanks to too many unlucky deals and a diminishing interest in the diamond-encrusted Furby necklaces he sells at his shop. His wife Dinah (Idina Menzel) can’t stand the sight of his “stupid face” anymore, his daughter hates him, his assistant Demany (Atlanta‘s Lakeith Stanfield) thinks he’s a joke.

Only his mistress, Julia (Julia Fox) continues to believe in him and comforts him as he cries, “Everything I do is not going right!”

ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny

Week of February 5th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You now have the power to make connections that have not previously been possible. You can tap into an enhanced capacity to forge new alliances and strengthen your support system. I urge you to be on the lookout for a dynamic group effort you could join or a higher purpose you might align yourself with. If you’re sufficiently alert, you may even find an opportunity to weave your fortunes together with a dynamic group effort that’s in service to a higher purpose.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Is there a project or situation you’d love to create but have lacked the confidence to try? Now is a time when you can finally summon the necessary courage. Is there a long-running dilemma that has always seemed too confusing and overwhelming to even understand, let alone solve? Now is a favorable time to ask your higher self for the clear vision that will instigate an unforeseen healing. Is there a labor of love that seems to have stalled or a dream that got sidetracked? Now is a time when you could revive its luminosity and get it back in a sweet groove.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Victory won’t come to me unless I go to it,” wrote the poet Marianne Moore.

In other words, you must track down each victory you’re interested in. You must study its unique nature.

And then you must adjust yourself to its specifications. You can’t remain just the way you are, but must transform yourself so as to be in alignment with the responsibilities it demands of you. Can you pass these tests, Taurus? I believe you can. It’s time to prove it.el wildness so that it becomes eminently useful to you?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): While at the peak of his powers as an author, Gemini-born Nobel Prize-winner Jean Paul Sartre consumed an array of mood-shifters every day. He quaffed at least a quart of alcohol, smoked two packs of cigarettes, and drank copious amounts of coffee and tea. His intake of pills included 200 milligrams of amphetamines, 15 grams of aspirin, and a handful of barbiturates. I propose that we make Sartre your anti-role model during the next four weeks, dear Gemini. According to my analysis of your astrological indicators, your ability to discover, attract, and benefit from wonders and marvels will thrive to the degree that you forswear drugs and alcohol and artificial enhancements. And I’m pleased to inform you that there could be a flood of wonders and marvels.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I don’t think I’m boring.

How could I be? I have an abundant curiosity and I love to learn new things. I’ve worked at many different jobs, have read widely, and enjoy interacting with a broad range of humans. Yet now and then I’ve had temporary relationships with people who regarded me as uninteresting. They didn’t see much of value in me. I tend to believe it was mostly their fault—they couldn’t see me for who I really am—but it may have also been the case that I lived down to their expectations. Their inclination to see me as unimportant influenced me to be dull. I bring this up, my fellow Cancerian, because now is an excellent time to remove yourself from situations where you have trouble being and feeling your true self.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Soprano Helen Traubel and tenor Lauritz Melchior performed together in many productions of Wagnerian operas, often at the Metropolitan in New York City. Friends and colleagues but not lovers, they had a playful relationship with each other. A favorite pastime was figuring out tricks they could try that would cause the other to break into inappropriate laughter while performing. According to my quirky reading of the astrological omens, Leo, the coming weeks will be a propitious time for you to engage in similar hijinx with your allies. You have a poetic license and a spiritual mandate to enjoy amusing collaborative experiments, playful intimate escapades, and adventures in buoyant togetherness.

DR. JOANNA CORTI, DOM, Powerful Medicine, Powerful Results. Homeopathy, Acupuncture. Micro-current SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Was there a more influen(Acupuncture without neetial 20th-century artist than Scorpio-born Pablo Picasso? dles.)

Once, while visiting a gallery showing of art made by children, he said, “When I was their age I could Transmedium Energy Healing.

But it Auto Accidents Insurance took me a lifetime to learn to draw like they do.” In accepted 505-501-0439 accordance with your current astrological omens, Scorpio, I suggest you seek inspiration from Picasso’s aspiration. Set an intention to develop expertise in seeing your world and your work through a child’s eyes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I know a Sagittarius man who has seen the film Avengers: Endgame 17 times. Another Sagittarian acquaintance estimates she has listened all the way through to Billie Eilish’s album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? 135 times. And then there’s my scholarly Sagittarian friend who has read the ancient Greek epic poem the Iliad 37 times. I have no problem with this behavior. I admire your tribe’s ability to keep finding new inspiration in sources you already know well. But in my astrological opinion, you shouldn’t do much of this kind of thing in the coming weeks. It’s high time for you to experiment with experiences you know little about. Be fresh, innocent, and curious.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Athens was one of the great cities of the ancient world. Its vigorous art, theater, philosophy, architecture, and experiments in democracy are today regarded as foundational to Western culture. And yet at its height, Athens’ population was a mere 275,000—equal to modern Fort Wayne, Indiana or Windsor, Ontario. How could such a relatively small source breed such intensity and potency? That’s a long story. In any case, I foresee you having the potential to be like Athens yourself in the coming weeks and months, Capricorn: a highly concentrated fount of value. For best results, focus on doing what you do best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my analysis, the year 2020 will be a time when you can have dramatic success as you re-evaluate and re-vision and revamp your understandings of your life purpose. Why were you born? What’s the nature of your unique genius? What are the best gifts you have to offer the world? Of the many wonderful feats you could accomplish, which are the most important?

The next few weeks will be a potent time to get this fun and energizing investigation fully underway.
