On Thursday, District Court Judge T. Glenn Ellington is set to rule on a motion to move a Santa Fe murder trial to Los Alamos.

he contours of one of the thorniest and publicly painful murder trials in Santa Fe in some time, for the accused teenage killer of local high school basketball star Fedonta “J.B.” White, will come into sharper focus on Thursday, when a judge is set to decide on several key issues—including whether the case should even proceed in the capital city.

Perhaps the most meaningful ruling expected from state District Court Judge T. Glenn Ellington is on a motion to move the trial for the alleged shooter, 17-yearold Estevan Montoya, to Los Alamos.

The Aug. 1, 2020 fatal shooting of White, 18, a Santa Fe High School athlete bound for the Lobos basketball team, quickly captured the public’s attention, including significant media coverage of the ensuing court hearings.

According to Montoya’s defense lawyer Dan Marlowe, the volume and tone

of much of that coverage, White’s status as a “hometown hero” and “vastly popular basketball player,” as well as the debate over whether Montoya is a part of a violent street gang, leaves Montoya with little to no chance of receiving a fair trial in Santa Fe. Marlowe has petitioned Ellington to move the case to Los Alamos in a bid to have his arguments heard more clearly—including that Montoya did shoot White, but in self defense, at a house party in Chupadero in the wee hours of the morning.

Prosecutors have charged Montoya with first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, unlawful carrying of a handgun by a person under 19 years old and negligent use of a deadly weapon.

“Every time there was a basketball game here, [J.B.] would be in the paper, the sports section,” Marlowe tells SFR. “Los Alamos, they don’t care what happens in Santa Fe. They don’t have gangs up there. They don’t know who J.B. White is. They’re real precise people up there.

It’s hard to pull the wool over their eyes.”

The state filed a lengthy response to Marlowe’s motion, insisting that Santa Fe is the best place to have the trial.

But there’s even more for Ellington to deal with at the hearing, scheduled for 10 am, March 4.

Inclusionary zoning is one of Santa Fe’s biggest affordability problems and one of its best solutions

BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

S

anta Fe teeters between extremes as people with means flock to the city and those without face increasing financial hardship.

On one hand, the housing market is booming: Santa Fe ranked 12th on a list of the top 25 cities people moved to in 2020, and realtors report the combined median home price for the city and county soared to more than half a million by year’s end.

On the other hand, locals are suffering: Up to 65% of Santa Fe residents cannot afford to purchase a market-rate home and half of renters are considered cost-burdened, meaning they pay more than a third of their income on housing, according to the Santa Fe Housing Action Coalition.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated housing inequality in Santa Fe, this polarized state of affairs was present even before the coronavirus hit, driven over the years by a steady influx of new residents and a shortage of available housing.

Local data released by real estate services company CBRE indicates the average cost of rent in Santa Fe rose 40% between January 2011 and January 2020, while the area median income rose only 14%. For comparison, census and real estate data show that nationally, both rent and income have increased equally by an average of 37% since 2011.

City leaders have long tried to mitigate the gaps, beginning in the 1990s with the adoption of some of the nation’s most progressive inclusionary zoning laws at the time. A thriving

ecosystem of nonprofits helps residents access benefits. These efforts have created affordably priced homes and helped finance other housing solutions for thousands of people.

But the laws also contributed to a supply-and-demand problem that sent rents skyrocketing as the population grew. Construction of new housing did not keep up. For nearly a decade, the regulations for rental projects were so restrictive that they prevented the construction of new market-rate rental housing entirely.

The city openly acknowledges the problem.

In 2016, officials changed the rules to allow rental developers to pay a fee into the city’s affordable housing trust fund rather than building affordable units. This “fee-in-lieu” option is more cost-effective for de-

TIMELINE A lot has changed in Santa Fe over the last 30 years, since the city passed its first inclusionary zoning ordinance aimed at creating greater affordability. Now the city faces a severe housing shortage and a flurry of new construction officials hope will shift the balance. Here’s a timeline tracing the events that got us to where we are today.

1992

Santa Fe convenes the Santa Fe Affordable Housing Roundtable, a coalition of city and county government officials, local nonprofits, and the Enterprise Foundation, a national nonprofit focused on affordable housing. The goal was to stop the rapid gentrification of the city by crafting new policy initiatives and programs to ensure that half of all future housing would be affordable to low- and middle-income households.

velopers and unleashed a tidal wave of new construction to meet the pent-up demand. After further tweaks last year, the city received a proposal for the first new rental apartments to include affordable housing on-site in almost two decades.

This week, in partnership with the Solutions Journalism Network, SFR explores the creation of the inclusionary zoning law that brought the city into­ the national spotlight as a leader in affordable housing 30 years ago, as well as who ended up benefiting and who didn’t. Next week, we return with a second cover story about other solutions, what’s worked, and what could work to address both the historical impacts of a tight market and the current economic impacts of COVID-19.

How we got here

Santa Fe passed its first inclusionary zoning rules in the 1990s during what Joseph Montoya calls the “third wave of gentrification,” when it became clear the city was becoming increasingly unaffordable for local people.

Today, Montoya works as the director of Santa Fe County’s affordable

housing department. But in the ’90s, he was a city community development planner.

Back then, the city was making up everything from scratch, says Montoya.

Locals convened the Santa Fe Affordable Housing Roundtable, a coalition of city and county officials and nonprofits working collaboratively to stop rapid gentrification. The roundtable’s goal was to ensure that half of all future housing would be affordable to low- and middle-income families.

“In a relatively short period of time, we were able to do lots of different things that had never been done,” says Montoya.

He and his colleagues worked with local banks and real estate developers to create new financing mechanisms for affordable housing. They meshed more than a dozen existing programs into a comprehensive system that aimed to offer a solution for any housing topic where a resident might be struggling— including city-funded mortgage assistance, rental vouchers and first-time homebuyer education.

Road from foreclosure and created a new nonprofit organization to manage development according to a master plan that required at least 40% of all future homes to be affordable.

Within just a few years, Santa Fe became known as a national leader in affordable housing. The city won multiple awards, including the prestigious Innovations in American Government Award from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government for its work with the Affordable Housing Roundtable.

Santa Fe passed its first inclusionary zoning ordinance in 1997, which required all new developments to sell a percentage of homes at affordable prices to income-qualified buyers. Two years later, the city adopted a master plan that established overarching values and a vision to guide future development, as well as the zoning regulations that still dictate density and development patterns today.

Hoping to build on its success during the height of the 2000s housing boom, the city overhauled its affordable inclusionary zoning ordinance in 2005, renaming it the Santa Fe Homes Program.

Under the new rules, the percentage

of required affordable units in for-sale developments went up, and for the first time the law also required rental developers to reserve 15% of units at affordable rates for people earning up to 100% of the area median income. These affordable rates, determined by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), are designed so that renters who qualify do not spend more than 30% of their income on housing.

The success of the new program was short-lived.

After the global market crash in 2008, development in Santa Fe slowed to a crawl. For nearly a decade, no new market-rate rental developments were built.

Nationally, the bottom had fallen out of the financial market. It hit the real estate sector, which drove so much of the boom-and-bust nature of the American economy, especially hard. Banks sought to tighten their lending practices, and contractors and builders went out of business.

The city overhauls its previous inclusionary zoning rules and creates the Santa Fe Homes Program and the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The SFHP simplifies requirements for for-sale developers while increasing their affordability requirement and establishes an additional 15% affordability requirement for rental developments.

2008

Financial crash. Relaxed lending standards in the late 1990s and early 2000s allowed millions of people with poor credit scores to take out home loans they couldn’t afford. Real estate speculation during that time sent home prices shooting up until the bubble finally burst, leading to the collapse of major financial institutions and widespread foreclosures, as well as a dramatic slowdown in new construction.

2011

Santa Fe lowers affordability requirement for forsale developments from 30% to 20% in recognition of the strain of the recession on local developers.

Santa Fe makes the list of the top 20 cities people moved to during the pandemic and the housing market explodes. By January 2021, nearly 1,800 new units are under construction and another 1,600 have been approved, while median home sales price for the city and county hits more than half a million dollars.

2019

City Council amends the accessory dwelling unit rules, allowing owners to rent a house and a casita on the same property to separate parties; it also amends the inclusionary zoning rules again, giving rental developers more options for compliance and more incentives to build affordable units on-site.

The economy is strong and many new developments are already in the pipeline.

Data Missing

Once we got into the weeds of Santa Fe’s housing data, we discovered numerous small inconsistencies between datasets, charts and graphs created by different organizations and departments at different times.

For example, a housing trends report created by the Land Use Department lists 92 permits for affordable units in 2012, while a report released by the Santa Fe Association of Realtors last year only lists 32 affordable units in the same year.

SFR found these kinds of small inconsistencies in dozens of documents, so we asked the city’s Land Use staff to help us try to wrap our heads around our findings.

Urban Planner Carlos Gemora and Planning Manager Noah Berke say there are multiple factors at play.

To start, two documents that seem like they are explaining the same thing might actually be using different sets of data, such as city versus county data. When it comes to housing units, one document might be referring to the number of permits issued in a given year while another document might be counting the actual number of units constructed. A third document might be counting the number of units in early stages of approval that had not yet gone through the permitting process. Some documents from both the city and local organizations don’t make it clear what exact data they are using.

Then there are also actual inconsistencies—when both documents are measuring the same thing but producing different numbers.

Gemora and Long tell SFR it’s partly an issue with tracking data between multiple old-school record-keeping systems, and partly it’s the loss of former long-range planning staff and their institutional knowledge.

“There’s just so many different ways to handle this data in so many different systems that have been used, it’s hard to have 100% consistency,” says Gemora.

“There are inconsistencies in some of these numbers,” he says, but “the nice thing is the difference is usually small and there aren’t huge shifts in the general trend.”

When looking back at historical trends, SFR stuck to data for housing permits issued within the city. For years where the data didn’t match up, we’ve used a line of dots on our chart above.

House Rules “Sometimes I’ll hug the wall, I’m just so happy and grateful,” she admits, laughing on a phone call with SFR. “I love my little house.…It’s not super huge but it’s not super tiny—it’s big enough for my daughter and I. We have air conditioning; we have a double garage.…I just love everything about it.”

Gallegos and her daughter, who will graduate from Capital High School this spring, are among the more than 1,000 households for which the Santa Fe Homes Program has helped pay for mortgage assistance. Theirs came from the Santa Fe Community Housing Trust.

Gallegos was born and raised in Santa Fe and has worked as a stylist for the last 20 years. It’s a good job and one she enjoys, but still, as a single mom she earns well below the area median income for a family of two.

“I was living in an apartment for 13 years and the rent just kept going up

New Mexico market president for New Mexico Bank and Trust. Back then, he worked for the bank as a commercial lender. “It was like all the contractors and all the labor for the contractors moved out of town. We used to see them in the restaurants in the morning having a big breakfast before they went to work, and suddenly a lot of the faces I’d recognized over the years were gone.”

Santa Fe was shielded from the most extreme fallout of the crisis, says Myers, but even after other cities began to recover, Santa Fe lagged behind. Myers attributes the stunted local recovery to its reliance on tourism—an industry that typically lags until other parts of the economy are back up to speed and people have extra money to spend.

In 2016, in recognition that fewer than 400 new apartment units had been built since the economic downturn, the city created a fee option for multi-family developers for the first time.

Construction has ticked up since, spurred by both a growing economy and, on the rental side, looser inclusionary zoning requirements.

The rules as they stand now require for-sale developers to sell 20% of their units at affordable rates. Multi-family rental developers have options: build 15% of their units on-site in exchange for multiple incentives from the city such as waived permit fees; pay a fee; rent 100% of the units at moderate rates below market rate but above the definition of “low income;” or propose some combination.

“I was pretty much rent-broke.”

The Housing Trust worked with her on and off throughout those 13 years to help her improve her credit and become an expert on the home-buying process as she waited for a home that would perfectly meet her needs.

“It takes courage,” she says. “Buying a house is the all-American-dream. It can seem like it’s so far from being a reality but [the Santa Fe Community Housing Trust] can help make it a reality.”

Mortgage assistance is one of several ways the city works with local nonprofits to make homeownership more accessible to locals, in addition to the requirements for developers to build affordable units on-site.

A solution for some, a problem for others

It’s been 18 months since Kimberly Gallegos purchased a home in the Casa Bonita neighborhood with a lien from the city to cover the difference between what she could afford and market rate.

Some days she still can’t believe it’s real.

Ivette Ortega shows SFR where friends, family, and other Habitat for Humanity volunteers signed their names and wrote notes of encouragement on the frame of her house.

complete 350 to 500 of “equity hours” in construction as part of the program to purchase an affordable home.

Ivette Ortega, 24, takes SFR through the home she’s spent the last year building from the ground up. Workers outside cement and stucco the walls, while inside the three-bedroom house, Ortega points out messages of encouragement and love written across the bare wooden frame by friends, family, neighbors and Habitat volunteers in a ceremony to celebrate all the long hours she has put into making this place her own.

Later today, says Ortega, the crew will begin to put up the drywall and insulation, sealing this good will into the walls. Soon, they will finish the floors and hook up the solar panels on the roof, and by the end of spring, she hopes, she’ll get to move in.

Ortega has worked on five other Habitat homes in the same subdivision near the Santa Fe Community College since she was approved for the program two years ago.

“I think it’s been really great for getting to know some of my neighbors,” she says. Some also have kids around the same age as her 6-year-old son. She says he’s excited to move to a new neighborhood where he knows he’ll have other kids to play with. Her own excitement is infectious.

Ortega says the Habitat program has helped her feel empowered as a homeowner in more ways than one.

She works at a local car dealership, but says she’s never taken out a loan before, not even for her own vehicle. Habitat’s financial fitness classes helped her understand interest, budgeting and smart financing decisions.

Two years ago, she had also never held a power tool or done anything in construction.

South Meadows Apartments, located next to El Camino Real Academy on South Meadows Road, will add 240 market-rate, multi-family apartments to Santa Fe’s housing market.

enough to get a good price when I need to hire people for repairs,” she says.

The Santa Fe Homes Program is most effective for new homeowners like Ortega and Gallegos, and developers of homes for sale have accepted the requirements with little fuss.

Santa Fe Office of Affordable Housing Director Alexandra Ladd tells SFR almost every new for-sale development has adhered to the Santa Fe Homes Program rules and sold at least 20% of its homes at affordable prices to income-qualified buyers.

Ladd has worked in affordable housing for the city since 2012 and has spearheaded efforts to make the rules more effective.

Only two for-sale projects have been granted an exception by the City Council, says Ladd. The first was started before 2008, and afterwards the developer could not finance the affordable units. In the other project, several lots were washed out in a flood and were ultimately left as open space. In both cases, the developers paid a fee.

For-sale projects also provide a small stream of revenue to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, which is partially used to help bring down the cost of market-rate homes for people like Gallegos.

Developers of large projects are required to build a certain percentage of units at affordable prices; they pay a fee in addition. For-sale projects with less

than 10 units pay a fee instead of building affordable homes on-site.

When Gallegos pays back the lien on her property, the cash will go back into the fund, helping to replenish the money.

In partnership with Homewise, the Santa Fe Community Housing Trust and Habitat for Humanity, the city has used this money to create a system for supporting low- and moderate-income renters and homebuyers that could be easily scaled up to help thousands more—with proper funding.

These nonprofits are under contract with the city to maintain lists of income-qualified homebuyers and renters, manage assistance programs, and build affordable units using money from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, the general fund, and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant program.

Mortgage assistance eats up 35% of the money. Another 25% pays for rental assistance, and 15% helps low-income homeowners with home improvements; another 15% is used to build affordable rental units; the remaining 10% goes toward homeless shelters and affordable rental housing upgrades.

Ladd says the amount spent each year depends on how much comes into the trust fund from homeowners repaying their loans, land sales in Tierra Contenta and developers paying fees.

Between 2011 and 2017, the trust fund’s annual revenue averaged less than $200,000. This has changed dramatically in recent years as development picked up. In 2020, the trust fund collected over $700,000.

Because the nonprofits are able to use city funds to leverage more money from private donors and federal programs, they can make the city’s dollars go a lot further than if the city were managing these programs by itself, says Ladd.

It’s progress, but it’s not enough to meet the need.

According to the Santa Fe Association of Realtors 2020 State of Housing Report, 5,328 of 13,500 2019 renter households in the city are eligible for downpayment assistance because of their income levels.

A separate report by the Housing Action Coalition estimates 9,700 families paid unaffordable rents or mortgages in 2018, and families on wait lists for affordable rental housing and rental vouchers sometimes wait up to six years for a spot.

Santa Fe’s inclusionary zoning rules put in place for market-rate rental developers in 2005 arguably worsened the housing shortage because they were so restrictive that they prevented any new rental projects for nearly a decade after the 2008 financial crash.

The rules weren’t working for developers of rental housing, and therefore weren’t working for most renters who had to compete for increasingly expensive, aging units with newcomers to the city.

In 2016, the city allowed rental developers to pay a one-time fee into the trust fund instead of renting affordable units on-site. The change ushered in a dramatic increase in construction. In just a few years, the city has approved more than a dozen new apartment projects.

Now that the city has changed the rules, as many units are being constructed in one year as were built in nearly a decade.

A recent report by the city’s Land Use Department shows 1,800 units of housing are currently under construction in the city. Another 1,600 units have been approved but haven’t yet broken ground.

Even Albuquerque doesn’t come close to averaging 1,800 new units a year, says rental developer Josh Rogers. The number of new units under construction currently rivals that of much larger metropolitan areas such as Colorado Springs—a city nearly six times the size of Santa Fe with a population of 490,000.

“The change in 2016 was pretty monumental.…You never would have seen this building boom in Santa Fe without that change,” Rogers says.

Rogers is the vice president of development with Titan Development, an Albuquerque-based company that has advised the city of Santa Fe on its inclusionary zoning policies in the past. Titan began construction on Broadstone Rodeo Apartments shortly after the change to the inclusionary zoning rules in 2016, making it the first new market-rate rental building the city had seen in a decade.

Rogers says the company would not have considered the project without the change to allow a fee-in-lieu payment.

He explains it this way: A developer of for-sale homes only loses money once when it sells homes at affordable rates. A rental developer, on the other hand, loses money on its affordable units every month, and that cost adds up quickly.

Say, for example, Titan built 100 one-bedroom units, with an average market-rate rent of $1,500 a month— which is about what Broadstone Rodeo charges for a one-bedroom apartment.

To fulfill the city’s on-site affordability requirement, the company would have to rent 15 of those units for a maximum of $950 a month to people making up to $33,300, or 65% of the area median income. Titan would miss out on $550 a month per affordable unit, which comes out to a loss of $99,000 over the course of a year. Over the 10-year compliance period, the developer would lose $990,000 on those units.

On top of that, the affordable units also impact how much the developer is able to borrow at the outset for construction of the project, says Rogers.

That’s because banks lend developers money based on the projected cashflow, or the amount of money the project expects to make each month. In the

To expect a marketrate developer to undertake the very complicated process of providing rent-restricted units to income-eligible, certified renters is sort of like expecting your dentist to give you a knee replacement.

above example, the 15 affordable units would cost the developer over $100,000 in the total amount they might be able to get in loans from the bank.

Once you add up these costs, says Rogers, the entire project may no longer be profitable enough to make it worth building.

“That’s the definition of a bad regulation—that you make something so expensive to do that no one is going to do it. So that’s exactly what happened in Santa Fe,” says Rogers.

In addition, the market-rate developer would be required to find and monitor income-qualified tenants for those apartments, which is something most don’t have experience doing, says Ladd.

“To expect a market-rate developer to undertake the very complicated pro-

cess of providing rent-restricted units to income-eligible, certified renters is sort of like expecting your dentist to give you a knee replacement,” she said at a recent city meeting. “They might know how to work the anesthesia OK, but they are really out of their element.”

With 2016’s change to a fee-in-lieu option, the developer in the example above would only have to pay $128,520 in total for the entire project. Rogers says this is why the city suddenly saw a flood of applications for new developments as soon as it changed the rules.

Since June 2018, the fees paid by these rental developers have brought $1.5 million into the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund, which has vastly increased the city’s ability to offer affordable housing support such as rental vouchers and mortgage assistance.

The city made further changes in 2020 that steadily increase the fees rental developers will have to pay going forward, and offer multiple incentives that make it cheaper for developers to build affordable units on-site. These new incentives include the elimination of multiple fees charged by the city and density bonuses, which allow the developer to build more units than they are technically zoned for.

“The theory behind all of this is that…if you put enough units on the ground in Santa Fe it should help the affordability question over time,” says Rogers, because older units that are currently being rented at jacked-up prices due to the high demand and short supply will no longer be able to compete with all the brand-new market-rate apartments.

However, Daniel Werwath, execu-

tive director of New Mexico Interfaith Housing and the developer of the most recent 100% affordable projects in Santa Fe, says that though luxury apartments will eventually ease the city’s supply-and-demand problem by providing ample options for those at the top half of the income scale, they will never meet the need for affordable housing for people at the bottom.

What’s more, Santa Fe is losing qualified affordable housing at an alarming rate as older developments that used federal income tax credits to build affordable housing reach the end of their 15-year compliance period and raise the rents or sell apartments to private homeowners at market rate.

To adequately address the problem, Santa Fe will need to get creative and employ a much broader set of solutions than those provided by its inclusionary zoning rules—even when they are working as intended.

“We need to create an ecosystem where housing can have the best chances of thriving in all conditions. And that means we do lots of little things like auxiliary dwelling units; funding our trust fund; inclusionary zoning; making it easier for market-rate developers. And then together the whole solves the problem,” Werwath says. “But that whole has to include building more affordable units too. We need to build 250 units a year of affordable rental housing to solve this problem, and we need to commit to finding the funds to do it.”

In next week’s cover story, SFR looks at what the city needs to do to maximize its affordable housing capacity and out of the box solutions already on the books.

This invariably starts with language. How we ­communicate is invaluable, and losing language is a terrifying prospect. In no other culture is this quite so apparent as with the many Indigenous languages and dialects spoken across the country—or in danger of fading into nothingness. The Institute of American Indian Arts is on the case, though, and at the school’s upcoming Support for Indigenous Language Beginners class, anyone who wants to start learning about Native languages can pick up a thing or two.

Man. Horse. Art. Armond Antonio brings farm life and community to his artistic practice Pueblo Pintado, New Mexico-based artist, farmer and equestrian Armond Antonio (Diné) had just recently moved to Denver when the pandemic started raging, and he soon found himself back in New Mexico. Colorado’s loss.

At only 22, Antonio has already developed a thriving practice in graphite, ink, oils, watercolor and acrylic. He’s self-taught or, as he puts it, he “just picked up tips and tricks from artists I’ve met.” But don’t let the lack of formal training fool you—Antonio’s works are refined and moving, sometimes evoking an almost visceral emotional response.

Not too shabby for a farmer and rancher by trade. Antonio owns a couple head of cattle and grows heirloom Navajo corn out at Pueblo Pintado. When he’s able, he draws and paints anything from close-up portraiture to landscapes and city streets.

“I don’t like to plan,” he says with a laugh. “My styles are all over. I just like working as I go.”

Often, this winds up being a bit of self-history, but it also opens windows into Antonio’s community in and around

Pueblo Pintado. He lives and works alone, both of which have played a part in how he creates; he likes meeting people, he says, and learning more about their lives. That habit finds its way into his portraiture.

“I’ve really liked portraits,” Antonio tells SFR. “It’s mostly Native people and people with culture—Hispanics, Natives—because it’s like recording history; but the wrinkles stand out for me, and a lot of the elder people I’ve painted, I know personally. They’re family members and community members. I like to get to know them. I like recording stories.”

Antonio comes to Santa Fe this weekend as part of the ongoing Artist in Rezidence series at La Fonda on the Plaza. He’ll have pieces for sale and will conduct a live painting throughout the weekend. (Alex De Vore) ARTIST IN REZIDENCE: ARMOND ANTONIO 10 am-6 pm Friday-Sunday, March 5-7. Free.

xhibiting Kinship host Felicia Garcia (Chumash) says something simple but powerful a few minutes into the new podcast’s inaugural episode: “I’m willing to learn in public.” Garcia’s co-host Meranda Roberts (Northern Paiute) says roughly the same.

This openness sets the overall tone for the pair’s newest collaborative project, and sidesteps one of the myriad conundrums for culture workers everywhere: They’re not saying they know everything, but they are saying they’d like to learn more while using their own expertise, experience and education to color the ongoing conversation. Hence, the podcast—one rooted in, according to the official language of its website, “discussing the many ways Indigenous people are working to radically change the museum world.”

Thus far, Kinship has released two episodes—the requisite getting-to-knowyou pilot and a wildly interesting interview with an Apsáalooke curator. A third is hitting the usual podcast places on March 5. For anyone working within the museum field or simply interested in the cultural institutions both near and far, it’s an absolute must-listen.

Garcia and Roberts founded Exhibiting Kinship after repeatedly running into each other in academic ­settings, conferences and the like. Garcia is the curator of education at local arts, research and education institution the School for Advanced Research, while

Roberts holds a position as a postdoctoral research scientist at the Field Museum in Chicago. Together, they identified an alarming trend within the museum world (in its simplest form, a lack of Indigenous presence in meaningful museum positions). Having spent years fighting for a place at the table, they kicked off the podcast to discuss what’s up with that, and how things might change.

Garcia and Roberts openly discuss their respective academic backgrounds as both privileged and fraught with a sort of Western bent. Garcia holds a master’s in museum studies from New York University, while Roberts recently completed her doctorate at the University of California at Riverside.

“It’s really challenging to exist in this space because my family isn’t as educated as I am,” Garcia says. “I’m the first person in my family to have a bachelor’s or master’s degree, so I can see a colonial and Western lens coming out with my family, and it sometimes creates this divide. It’s important for me to be aware of that fact, but I don’t think I ever wanted to get a master’s until I realized I couldn’t get a museum job.”

For her part, Roberts says, higher education was also about access.

“I knew I wanted to work in these spaces, so I knew I had to get degrees,” she tells SFR. “Now that I’m in the position I’m in, I’m able to see how valuable having the PhD is; I have a seat at the

seums impacts everyone—though let’s be honest, it’s always going to be harder for PoC to navigate such issues than it is for white folks.

The divide is, perhaps, particularly noticeable in Santa Fe, where museums are so intertwined with our civic identity and pride that those who work within them become mini-celebrities of sorts. Many Indigenous voices have risen to prominent museum roles here (looking at much of the staff at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts and Andrea Hanley, Navajo, at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian as personal faves)—but, according to Exhibiting Kinship, this is hardly the norm. Besides, Santa Fe is not the center of the arts universe, nor is it the center of this podcast.

Still, it can and will be valuable to museum workers, visitors and all points between.

Maybe it’ll sound clichéd, too, but they’re just getting started. The third episode, which premieres March 5, delves into Black and Indigenous people in the arts with guests Robert Keith Collins (Choctaw) and Monica Rickert (Potowatami).

“While we believe in celebrating Black voices every day,” Roberts says in the episode, “we cD wanted to use our platform to highM I M YO light how Native American and African O P American history converge.”

The Cheese Stands Lauren Stutzman’s cheese revolution

BY ALEX DE VORE |

“Land acknowledgments are mainly performative,” Stutzman notes, “but if you’re taking it a little further and maybe making the effort to make friends with your neighbors…in New Mexico, we’re lucky enough to do that, and Indigenous movements everywhere have made it easy to find out whose land you’re on.”

For example, she says, Colorado’s Haystack Mountain makes some of her favorite cheese, particularly the long-aged goat milk cheese, but that doesn’t change how the business sits on lands belonging to the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Ute

a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

and Očeti Šakówin tribes. Still, she says, Haystack’s cheesemaker Jackie Chang has created a variety someplace between cheddar and chévre, and Stutzman’s got it, among others.

The ultimate goal is simple: Share cheese.

“Once you learn the cheese basics, you can start to curate cheeses that you think people on a larger scale will love and enjoy, and you can add in some of the weirder stuff, and people tend to be open to it,” Stutzman explains. “Cheese is such a cool product, and the makers of cheese

ou’ll find nerds in nearly every milieu. Computer nerds. Comic nerds. Food nerds. Cheese nerds.

Cerrillos resident Lauren Stutzman falls into that last category, though “nerd” might not even be strong enough a word. Can an obsession be good? If so, Stutzman’s commitment to cheese is obsessive, but she’s looking to share through Picnic, her catering, events and everyday cheese business that adds artistry and deep consideration to the simple yet powerful charcuterie board. With an ever-rotating combination of cheese, meats and fruit, Stutzman’s boards and plates are gorgeous—educational, even. She’s also focused on working with small cheesemakers and suppliers, and to acknowledging the colonial roots of the overall cheese ­business.

Stutzman grew up in Albuquerque, but spent over two decades in Vermont after graduating from Goddard College.

There, she worked in foodservice and developed an appreciation for the wide world of cheese (Vermont’s a pretty major dairy state), but she still dreamed of the desert. When Stutzman returned to New Mexico in 2013 and realized her restaurant days were over, she toiled for a time at the now-defunct Cheesemongers cheese shop that was once downtown on Marcy Street, but something didn’t sit quite right.

“I was very disappointed with the way Cheesemongers was handling questions of misogyny and racism within their ranks,” Stutzman says. “It became evident they had a racist, misogynist person working there, and the owner didn’t do anything but chalk it up to ‘quirky old man.’”

Knowing she hoped to leave, she learned as much as she could from her fellow former employees Oisín Young and Lilith Spencer (the latter of whom, Stutzman says, should be considered the creator of the charcuterie board as know it today), all the while designing her own take on the art form.

“My thing was that where the shop was located keeps certain people in Santa Fe, otherwise known as locals, from shopping there, and as much as people tried, the vibe of Cheesemongers was that certain people couldn’t be there,” Stutzman tells SFR. “When I realized I could make the cheese plates pretty decently, I realized I would like to reach a wider audience, and I wouldn’t separate my politics from the business.”

It’s ultimately a small thing, Stutzman says, but each plate comes with information about where the cheese is sourced from, and what Indigenous lands its maker is occupying.

Lauren Stutzman’s plates and boards run between $25-$325 depending on how many folks want/need cheese, and @picnic_nm on Instagram is the best way to get in touch.

FOOD

all over the world, especially smaller producers, are very committed and dedicated to supporting the ecosystem.”

Using those smaller makers all but ensures a quality product as well. It’ll sound obvious once you hear it, but happier animals makes for tastier milk and, in turn, tastier cheese. These things tend to happen with smaller producers, and Stutzman prefers hers to come from makers with facilities that support happily grazing animals. Beyond that, it’s like a trial and error game with Stutzman soaking up info, tasting everything she can and soliciting customer feedback about what tastes or works best. Each plate is a stunning and geometric triumph. If that sounds melodramatic, you’ve probably never seen one of Stutzman’s cured meat roses (literally thinly sliced meats arranged in the shape of a rose). Plates are designed to maximize variety and flavor profiles that build off one another, and each is a carefully considered combination. Also, there’s chocolate sometimes.

“When someone contacts me, I just ask if there are any things they absolutely don’t want,” says Stutzman. “An amazing thing about New Mexicans is that people around here are a lot more open to trying stuff, so I design it off what’s good and cheeses I want people to try.”

The process has proven popular. Picnic is a one-woman operation, but Stutzman recently acquired space in the CHOMP Food Hall (505 Cerrillos Road, 6605146) in the Luna Center. Picnic has been a delivery business since its inception two years ago, and Stutzman still adheres to that model—but with a physical space, customers can pick up orders whenever, and people who find themselves craving a cheese plate can grab one at their own convenience.

“I’m still trying to feel out what the demand is for the grab-and-go stuff, but Tuesday through Sunday you can grab a little cheese plate and you don’t have to get in touch with me,” she says. “If you want something bigger, though, get in touch with me.”

With all this cheese talk flying around, what words of wisdom might Stutzman have for the budding cheese aficionado?

“Don’t ever look at the pound price,” she advises. “Realize you can ask the cheese people at Whole Foods or the Co-op or even Smith’s…if you see a piece of cheese outside your budget, don’t be afraid to ask if they’ll cut it into a smaller piece. You can go in with $10 and try five different cheeses.”

I laughed twice during the 101 minute runtime of Tom and Jerry: Once in disbelief over the ­rapping pigeons who open the film with a version of A Tribe Called Quest’s “Can I Kick It?” in ­borderline racist Dumbo crow fashion, and the other when a character admitted to committing white collar crime. Ugh. But then, this isn’t the first time we’ve been burned by the angry animated cat and his outrageously violent mouse frenemy. In 1992, Tom and Jerry: The Movie released. It broke the cardinal sins of having the two speak and relegating them to the background—this iteration repeats the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea of giving r­ eal-life humans Chloë Grace Moretz and Michael Peña (neither of whom are bad a­ ctors, but who have the charisma of sandpaper here) the main story and pushing the animated stars to

LAND

++ MOUNTAINS, HUMANITY, SURVIVAL -- RISKY DEPICTION OF MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AND RECOVERY

Robin Wright stars in and makes her directorial debut with Land, a visceral drama with breathtaking Western mountain scenery and a dose of humanity centered squarely in how the body and spirit survive.

Wright’s Edee seems to have “weak white woman” written all over her when she buys a mountain property with a rustic cabin and heads out with a trailer full of provisions—she’s in way over her head. Did she even bring a hat or gloves? Without spoiling the heavy Alone and Into the Wild vibes, we’ll just say she obviously needs the wisdom from Miguel (Demián Bichir) and his nurse friend Alawa (Sarah Dawn Pledge), who enter the picture just in time.

Yet, the more generous understanding of Edee is that she’s desperate to emerge from a well of grief and looks to a rudimentary live-offthe-land cure with last-ditch naivete.

Wright unfolds the story with engaging nuance, both as actor and decision-maker. The brief flashbacks are poignant—rightly rooted in Edee’s present existence, not just a lazy blank slate of memory reels. Miguel teaches her to chop wood, hunt, butcher and, well, live. And he does it all with a mystic, mysterious and deadsexy DILF peace.

The sparse script by Jesse Chatham and Erin Dignam serves its role well, with every word chosen to reveal a few threads of the story. The score, too, is subtle and key to the storytelling. Wright misses an opportunity, though, with Alawa’s nurse character. She’s intended to be elusive and disapproving, but could have used 20

the side. How, Kevin Costello, did you write this?

And why? You can try to hide behind writing creds for William Hanna and Joseph Barbera on IMDb, but we still know what you did. It’s especially alarming given that your 2017 film Brigsby Bear at least had a cool central idea (look it up).

In Tom and Jerry, though, there’s a “how do you do, fellow kids?” tone throughout, especially in its constant and painful rap jamz. See also an electric scooter chase, Tom and Jerry drinking booze, thinking in emojis and setting up an Instagram page together; dialogue is mainly complaints about millennials; Colin Jost’s prehistoric jawline is present.

We might argue kids are easily entertained, but here’s the thing—we can’t say Tom and Jerry is actually for kids. It requires knowledge of economic angst, Gen-Z humor, media criticism and

more or stronger screen time to deepen her presentation of an Indigenous woman.

We’re definitely rooting for Edee even as our curiosity about what happened to her family eats away; the conclusion is suspended, in fact, until the movie’s final minutes in a way that feels anticlimactic, as if it mattered so much until finally it didn’t. By then, she’s sort of found her way back to now. (Julie Ann Grimm) VoD, PG-13, 89 min.

JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH

9

++ KALUUYA AND STANFIELD IN CAREER BESTS

-- MARTIN SHEEN IS NO HOOVER

Channeling noir in modern cinema often feels like a pale imitation. Shine some filtered light and boom—you’ve got it. Judas and the Black Messiah culls from the great noir tradition, though it feels nothing like an imitation. It’s presented with such precision, in fact, that it boasts a fresh yet classic atmosphere, giving off an air of both doom and hope in simultaneous moments; no small feat from director/writer Shaka King.

American films seem to struggle with portraying the Black Panther movement, save for peripheral nods here and there. King, however, shrewdly drops us into William O’Neal’s perspective, letting us see the world with fresh eyes. Held in custody after a failed carjacking, O’Neal (Sorry to Bother You’s LaKeith Stanfield) is recruited by an FBI agent (Jesse Plemons of Breaking Bad) to infiltrate the local Black Panthers chapter and gather intel on the up and coming so-called “black messiah” of Chicago, Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya, Get Out). J. Edgar Hoover (Martin Sheen, weirdly)

even Bollywood to grasp the basic movements of the plot.

In the end, Tom and Jerry isn’t bad because it’s a derivative property. It’s bad because it’s disingenuous and has no interest in entertaining kids. It feels like a dad trying to hang out with his kid’s college-aged friends. Your children will hate you if you try to pass this off on them, and they should. Oh, and don’t think we don’t see you, director Tim Story. You made Barbershop, man…shouldn’t you know better? Maybe cinema should die after all.

obviously hates him. Unavoidably, however, Hampton’s charisma tears O’Neal between his more immediate shot at freedom from law enforcement and the freedom of promise offered by Hampton’s proposed future.

Characters come and go in King’s film, picked off one by one by the powers that be.

Still, Judas finds sure footing between gripping and inspiring as King doesn’t shy away from the Black Panthers’ militarism. He doesn’t gloss over the novel, rare and true portrayal of women Panthers and the organization’s free community social programs, either. The government’s ­hostility toward the Panthers’ agency helps balance opposing concepts of violence and charity, and members of the movement display conflicted natures and motivations. This feels vulnerable in a way mainstream cinema rarely approaches when culling tales from the real-life Panthers. These are layered and flawed people, not one-dimensional angry Black folks.

Kaluuya absorbs Hampton’s leadership and determination, while Stanfield achieves a remarkable level of sympathy within the framework of a morally questionable character.

There’s just something about his eyes. King wrenches each character’s deepest bits of humanity, letting the camera linger on facial expressions a beat or two longer than we’re accustomed to in our movies, providing the opportunity to examine their pains and joys, driving both home deeply but subtly.

Judas is thus the best kind of modern filmmaking—competent and confident, visually arresting with performances so exceptional, it’s enveloping from the first moments. Riveting, tense and often spellbinding, Judas stakes the claim as 2021’s first can’t-miss movie. (RG) HBO Max, R, 126 min.

MINARI

10

++ STELLAR ENSAMBLE CAST; SCORE -- SLOW PACING MIGHT NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE

Director Lee Isaac Chung wows with his new semi-autobiographical film Minari, which harks to the intricacies of Richard Linklater’s coming-of-age tale Boyhood with a bit of John Ford sentimentalism à la How Green Was My Valley.

Yet, in some ways, this one feels more guided by America’s literary tradition than its cinema (there are evident echoes of Steinbeck and Morrison).

What emerges is far from a repeat of the author’s past—Minari is an astonishing work of art capable of standing on its own.

In the 1980s, a Korean-American family led

by Jacob (Steven Yeun) and Monica (Han Ye-ri) relocate to rural Arkansas to start a farm. As the family splinters, Monica enlists her mother Soonja (a scene-stealing Youn Yuh-jung) to help alleviate the tension, but as pressures mount, isolation spreads.

Basing the bulk of the narrative on his own memories, Chung gives himself the breathing room to better emphasize the film’s production design, score, costuming and other oft-disregarded cinematic elements. The smaller things add up in Minari, exchanging flashy cinematography in favor of building a child’s world with honesty.

Yuh-jung dominates every time she’s on screen as the grandmother, while Ye-ri’s bold decisions in portraying the complexities of a torn mother unsure how to save her family are nothing short of phenomenal. Still, it’s the overall cast that works so well together in making Minari a real standout even a year after wowing crowds at Sundance. (RG) A24 Screening Room, VoD (Feb. 26), PG-13, 115 min.

SKUNKY was named for the white stripe down his back. Sadly, he was surrendered to F&F when his owner could no longer care for him, due to her own health. He is an easy going, mellow cat. He loves to be pet, brushed, and kissed. He gives you a lot of eye contact and would make a terrific companion kitty for an older person. He gets along fine with other cats, but would be happy on his own too. He is very overweight, and his adopter would need to work with him to help him lose a few pounds. He is 6 years old and is also at Petco.

TASHI was trapped in a backyard in Santa Fe when the family noticed kittens fending for themselves.

He is a very loving little boy that enjoys a lot of attention and play time. He can get a little overstimulated at times and would do best in a family without little children. He loves other cats and should be adopted with another kitten or into a home with a young cat to play with. He has a charming meow and greets you when you come into a room. He is 7 months old and can be seen at our Adoption Center inside Petco.

ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny

Week of March 3rd

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In late April of 1969, Cambridhgeshire, UK hosted the first-ever Thriplow Daffodil Weekend: a flower show highlighting 80 varieties of narcissus. In the intervening years, climate change has raised the average temperature 3.24 degrees Fahrenheit. So the flowers have been blooming progressively earlier each year, which has necessitated moving the festival back. The last pre-Covid show in 2019 was on March 23-24, a month earlier than the original. Let’s use this as a metaphor for shifting conditions in your world. I invite you to take an inventory of how your environment has been changing, and what you could do to ensure you’re adapting to new conditions.

incitement to do everything you can to reach the naked flesh of your feelings. Your ideas are fine. Your rational mind is a blessing. But for the foreseeable future, what you need most is to deepen your relationship with your emotions. Study them, please. Encourage them to express themselves. Respect their messages as gifts, even if you don’t necessarily act upon them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may never wander out alone into a dark forest or camp all night on a remote beach or encounter a mountain lion as you climb to a glacier near the peak of a rugged mountain.

But there will always be a primeval wilderness within you—uncivilized lands and untamed creatures and elemental forces that are beyond your rational underTAURUS (April 20-May 20): Author Leo Buscaglia standing. That’s mostly a good thing! To be healthy and told us that among ancient Egyptians, two specific questions were key in evaluating whether a human life wise, you need to be in regular contact with raw nature, even if it’s just the kind that’s inside you. The only time was well-lived. They were “Did you bring joy?” and it may be a hindrance is if you try to deny its existence, “Did you find joy?” In accordance with your current astrological potentials, I’m inviting you to meditate on whereupon it may turn unruly and inimical. So don’t deny it! Especially now. (PS: To help carry out this assignment, those queries. And if you discover there’s anything try to remember the dreams you have at night. Keep a lacking in the joy you bring and the joy you find, now recorder or notebook and pen near your bed.) is a very favorable time to make corrections.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): At age 11, the future first President of the United States George Washington became the “owner” of ten slaves. A few years later he “bought” 15 more. By the time he was president, 123 men, women, and children were struggling in miserable bondage under his control. Finally, in his will, he authorized them to be freed after he and his wife died.

Magnanimous? Hell, no. He should have freed those people decades earlier—or better yet, never “owned” them in the first place. Another Founding Father, Benjamin Franklin not only freed his slaves but became an abolitionist. By my count, at least 11 of the other Founding Fathers never owned slaves. Now here’s the lesson I’d like us to apply to your life right now: Don’t procrastinate in doing the right thing. Do it now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): During World War II, the Japanese island of Ōkunoshima housed a factory that manufactured poison gas for use in chemical warfare against China. These days it is a tourist attraction famous for its thousands of feral but friendly bunnies. I’d love to see you initiate a comparable transmutation in the coming months, dear Cancerian: changing bad news into good news, twisted darkness into interesting light, soullessness into soulfulness.

Now is a good time to ramp up your efforts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Scars speak for you,” writes author Gena Showalter. “They say you’re strong, and you’ve survived something that might have killed others.” In that spirit, dear Leo, and in accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to authorize your scars to express interesting truths about you in the coming weeks. Allow them to demonstrate how resilient you’ve been, and how well you’ve mastered the lessons that your past suffering has made available. Give your scars permission to be wildly eloquent about the transformations you’ve been so courageous in achieving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “What damages a person most,” wrote philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, “is to work, think, and feel without inner necessity, without any deep personal desire, without pleasure— as a mere automaton of duty.” Once a year, I think every one of us, including me, should meditate on that quote. Once a year, we should evaluate whether we are living according to our soul’s code; whether we’re following the path with heart; whether we’re doing what we came to earth to accomplish. In my astrological opinion, the next two weeks will be your special time to engage in this exploration.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What are your edges, Capricorn? What aspects of your identity straddle two different categories? Which of your beliefs embrace seemingly opposed positions? In your relations with other people, what are the taboo subjects?

Where are the boundaries that you can sometimes cross and other times can’t cross? I hope you’ll meditate on these questions in the coming weeks. In my astrological opinion, you’re primed to explore edges, deepen your relationship with your edges, and use your edges for healing and education and cultivating intimacy with your allies. As author Ali Smith says, “Edges are magic; there’s a kind of forbidden magic on the borders of things, always a ceremony of crossing over, even if we ignore it or are unaware of it.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to intermedia artist Sidney Pink, “The idea of divine inspiration and an aha moment is largely a fantasy.” What the hell is he talking about?!
