Get your Fix easy to fix. At least this has been the case at the Fixit Clinics hosted by the county so far, where Denton estimates that community members successfully fix around 70% of items brought in. SFR showed up to the Saturday event with a broken lamp. We were paired with Fixit Coach Lieven Van Hulle, who owns a lamp repair shop down the street, and within 10 minutes of buffing connectors and clearing the light bulb socket, the lamp was back in action. Petra Babankova, whose son brought a ripped trampoline to the clinic, says the family has a culture of fixing things at home—a value she inherited from watching her father troubleshoot repairs on everything and anything. “It felt very natural for us to attempt to fix our things,” she says, “but it’s really wonderful to have these workshops because between all of the different people, here you have such a wealth of knowledge and all the right tools from MAKE.” Denton says other municipalities, including Phoenix and Albuquerque, have reached out to him with interest in starting their own clinics replicating the Santa Fe model. But he also says access to community tool libraries helps. “We are fortunate in terms of spreading Fixit

e live in a consumer culture that encourages us to take the disposability of our possessions for granted. When an appliance breaks or a garment rips, a replacement is just a few clicks away on Amazon. But our consumptive habits have resulted in more garbage than we can fit in our landfills, and an onslaught of plastic is washing up on beaches across the world at alarming rates. E-waste from discarded electronics and appliances is the world’s fastest-growing trash stream. This is what motivated Neal Denton, sustainability specialist for Santa Fe County, to organize Fixit Clinics several times a year. The first of these DIY repair troubleshooting and discovery workshops was held a little over a year ago, and the most recent one was held on Saturday May 4 at MAKE Santa Fe (makesantafe.org), a membership-based community workspace and tool-sharing collective off Siler Road. “One of the things we are working on is reducing the amount of material going into the landfill,” says Denton. Along with a home composting program, the Fixit Clinics began as an attempt to reduce the county’s waste stream. “We are trying to educate people on the value of waste as a resource,” Denton tells SFR. “We are trying to teach troubleshooting. Fixing is just the mechanism for critical thinking. … We don’t want people to come in every time with their broken items. We want people to pause next time and go, ‘Well, I think I can fix that myself.’ The mindset right now is, ‘It’s broken, throw it away,’ when it should be, ‘It’s broken, what’s wrong with it?’” With the right know-how, some basic tools and a healthy dose of curiosity, many of the products we throw away without hesitation are actually relatively

Attendees of Santa Fe County’s Fixit Clinic take apart a broken steam mop on May 4.
Clinics that there are maker spaces popping up everywhere,” he says. Santa Fe Fixit Clinics and MAKE Santa Fe fit into a rapidly growing cultural phenomenon of DIYers, fixers and makers. Last year, the city won a national bid to host the first Nation Of Makers conference. Maker spaces, tool collectives and independent repair shops are the birthplace of companies like iFixit (ifixit.com), a tech repair company that sells spare parts and distributes repair manuals for the most commonly owned phones and computers for free online, and publishes a guide of the 44 most popular laptops, tablets and smartphones ranked by modularity of design—meaning parts can be almost indefinitely exchanged and upgraded and can be repaired with common tools —and the ease of home repairs. The right-to-repair movement comes against a backdrop of tech companies’ push to enforce controversial interpretations of copyright law arguing individuals do not have the right to dismantle and fix their own electronics. John Deere, America’s largest manufacturer of farm equipment, has pushed farmers into the right-to-repair movement by arguing farmers have “an implied license for the life of the vehicle to operate the vehicle,” but do not actually fully own their tractors—meaning they can be penalized for trying to do their own repairs. Many companies intentionally design products to have an artificially limited
useful life so they slow down or break within a designated period of time. This phenomenon, known as planned obsolescence, was the subject of 2017 class-action lawsuits against Apple for intentionally slowing down older iPhones when a new version comes on the market. Since the beginning of the 2019, 20 states have introduced right-to-repair legislation that has also made its way onto the agenda of three presidential candidates so far. The same weekend as the local clinic, Bernie Sanders announced support for national right-torepair laws to ensure farmers can repair their equipment. But it’s not a lefty cause. Though all three presidential candidates to endorse right-to-repair legislation are Democrats, a third of legislation introduced at the state level was sponsored by Republicans, and Libertarian media outlets have covered the issue closely. “Libertarians and conservatives should work together to enact right-torepair legislation. … I should have an inalienable right to do whatever I please with my own property without interference from any government mandate or law passed through some corporate protectionist lobbyist,” writes Alan Ganon on the blog Being Libertarian. The next Fixit Clinic hosted by the Santa Fe County Sustainability Office and MAKE Santa Fe is planned for Aug. 3 from 1-4 pm.

he details are the same every time. A small group of masked men dressed in black approach a cannabis shop, break a door or a window with hammers, rush inside, smash up some display cases, then take off. Often they hit more than one business in a single night, and then disappear. At first, it seemed like a one-off event: Some kids whose blood started running hot decide to try for a big score, head to a dispensary, panic at the level of security, then move across town to try their luck at a different seller. But more break-ins earlier this month have begun to complicate the story, and the true motives of the would-be burglars grow increasingly opaque. A group tried the exact same methods again at Kure Cannabis on Guadalupe about half an hour before New MexiCann on San Mateo was hit. It’s the third time Kure has been broken into in the past few months, and it’s been black-clad intruders every time. No money or cannabis has ever been taken from any of the state-licensed dispensaries—only a bit of merchandise. Mostly, the cost to operators has been replacing doors, windows and display cases. Santa Fe police who are still treating the cases as burglaries concede to SFR that the incidents are being investigated as if the burglars are one crew. For the first time, law enforcement found physical evidence at the scene of
the New MexiCann break-in, and video captured by security cameras and shared with police indicate that the burglars at various locations could be the same individuals. The timeline goes like this: First, on March 20, the now-familiar hammer-wielding, masked assailants hit Fruit of the Earth on Early Street near the Railyard. Then, half an hour later, masked men broke into Shift, the dispensary on Bisbee Court south of town, caused some property damage and then left within seconds. Santa Fe County Sheriff’s officials took two weeks to agree to release footage from the Shift break-in on March 20, noting to SFR only after a formal records request that its files were “corrupt.” However, SFR was able to access the files within minutes. The recordings show two burglars with covered faces breaking down the glass door at the entrance of Shift and struggling to enter.
After getting into the main lobby, one of the burglars can be seen taking two swings at a reception window with the hammer, failing to break it, and then retreating. The Sheriff’s Department says it’s now sharing information from the Shift break-in, which happened outside city limits, with police, who are investigating the rest of the break-ins, all of which took place within Santa Fe proper. On March 27, at 1:30 am, men dressed in black and using hammers smashed their way into Kure. They took off after breaking some display cases and making off with a few pieces of merchandise for sale in the front office. Like the previous burglaries, they didn’t get away with any cash or cannabis. A Kure employee told SFR at the time that the intruders had caused more property damage by breaking cases than the value of the missing merchandise, and that the display cases were unlocked and

could be opened without being broken. On May 1, four black-clad men wielding hammers struck New MexiCann at 1:30 in the morning, and then, half an hour later, Kure was hit again by blackclad men with hammers. Nothing was taken from either spot. Police say they’re now investigating the latest two break-ins, at Kure and New MexiCann, as if they were carried out by the same people. “Upon reviewing the surveillance video, which is decent quality, there were four males. They appeared younger, just based on their stature and clothing; they were all masked, wearing gloves, covered pretty much from head to toe,” Santa Fe Police Sgt. Cipriano Varela Jr., who is heading up the investigation into the most recent pair of break-ins, tells SFR. “They implemented the same tools to break into both places, which were hammers. And they busted the windows out in the same fashion. They started at the outside of the windows and then pushed the middle of the windows out.” Video helped police determine that two of the burglars at New MexiCann appeared to be wearing the same clothing and the same shoes as some of those who broke into Kure about 30 minutes later, according to Varela. He adds that a blood sample and touch DNA were found at New MexiCann, the first significant pieces of evidence that could lead to a suspect. Police are still investigating whether the break-ins in March were carried out by the same group. “Absolutely, we have taken that into consideration,” Varela says of the possibility. Varela says the hope is that a crime analyst also working on the case can help get ahead of the break-ins. “We are aware, and we are definitely taking all the precautions we can to get a step ahead. They’re happening so frequently and they all seem to be the same people,” Varela says. “So yes, we’re on that.” A representative from Kure declined to be quoted for this story, but a Kure employee, Marcus Herrera, expressed frustration with police. “Twenty-eight minutes,” Herrera told SFR a few days after the break-in on March 20. “The owner was dead asleep, in bed, got the call and was here, and waited 28 minutes.” A police spokesman says another break-in was reported at a nearby restaurant, accounting for the slow response time. SFR has a pending request to obtain the dispatch logs for the dispensary break-ins, which would show the time between the burglar alarm being triggered and when law enforcement arrived.

Santa Fe has proportionally more woman-owned businesses than elsewhere, but entrepreneurs still face challenges 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
A
few years ago, national news outlets published a story that created quite a buzz among local business owners, politicians and media alike: Santa Fe was named by Forbes and other publications as the best city for woman-owned businesses in the country. The stories were based on a study by personal finance site NerdWallet, which ranked Santa Fe above many larger cities that are known to be business hubs; Boulder, Colorado, came in second, Washington, DC, came in seventh, and San Francisco was ranked ninth. NerdWallet looked at data from 289 metro areas with at least 10,000 businesses, and rankings were based on factors including the total number of independently owned businesses per capita, the percentage of companies owned by women, the average revenue of woman-owned businesses and how many of those businesses had employees beyond the founder. The study, made public in 2015, also considered quality of life, including factors such as the number of women with a bachelor’s degree, unemployment levels and cost of living. According to the study, Santa Fe has more independent businesses per capita than most cities on the list, and a third of those businesses are owned by women; the study also indicated there is a greater proportion of woman-owned businesses here than other cities it considered.

The ranking illustrates Santa Fe as a small city where many women own small businesses, work for themselves, and can successfully support themselves doing their own thing. But four years after the study, how’s it looking? What makes Santa Fe special, and what are the greatest challenges for female business owners? “When you look at women-owned businesses in Santa Fe, or any businesses in Santa Fe for that matter, many are focused in the arts, services, retail and tourism,” says Marie Longserre, president and CEO of the Santa Fe Business Incubator, an organization that offers key support services such as coaching and outreach to local startups. Longserre explains that these kinds of local establishments are sometimes easier to start than businesses in tech or manufacturing, which require an initial investment of capital for creating prototypes and products. Building a business that is scalable—that could one day become a company with a national reach— is even harder, especially in a city where seed money is often hard to come by. “In general, though, I think Santa Fe is a very supportive community for women business owners, and you can’t discount the value of that support,” she says. According to the Census Survey of Business Owners, in 2012, 42% of all firms in Santa Fe County were owned by women—even more than NerdWallet found. Data from the 2017 survey will likely be released later next year. Yet, current data from the Santa Fe Small Business Development Center confirms that about 68% of woman-owned businesses in Santa Fe have fewer than five employees, which is right on target with the national average, according to 2012 economic census data (the most recent and in-depth body of data available). Also of note is that, according to the
NerdWallet study, the average annual revenue of woman-owned businesses ($107,209.58) was significantly lower than many other cities. Interestingly, most of the smaller cities on the list raked in higher average revenue for woman-owned businesses than large cities such as DC and San Francisco, but average revenue for Santa Fe was at least five times lower than other cities of a similar size such as Racine, Wisconsin. Many of the people who spoke to SFR say insufficient start-up funding is an obstacle, but this is not an issue unique to Santa Fe. Nationally, womanowned businesses, including franchise locations, now account for 39% of all firms in the US. Over the last two decades, women have started new businesses at more than twice the rate of all businesses on average, according to the 2017 State of Women-Owned Businesses Report commissioned by American Express. But in 2017, female founders only received 2.2% of venture capital invested. Most startup funding goes to California and a few other states, leaving only a sliver of the pie for women everywhere else, including New Mexico. Further, women who are not white get even less money, statistically. When it comes to the success of small local businesses, says Santa Fe Small Business Development Center Director Brian DuBoff, the most important factor is having a solid business plan
and savings to work with. It’s possible that the scarcity of successful corporate enterprises in Santa Fe could even have a role to play in why we have a higher percentage of female business owners than most cities, he says. “Santa Fe is such an appealing city; people want to be here. They will figure out how to make it work, and if that means starting their own business, then that’s what they will do,” says DuBoff. If you can’t find a job that will pay you what you

are worth, create your own. That’s not to say local entrepreneurs don’t have many organizations that offer support, loans and small amounts of capital for Santa Fe businesses. This includes WESST, a statewide small business development and training organization that works primarily with low-income women, the Santa Fe Small Business Development Loan Fund and the Small Business Administration. Another factor, DuBoff speculates, could be our older-than-average population. It’s much easier to start a business when you already have experience under your belt and money in the bank, and many people move to Santa Fe after pursuing successful careers elsewhere. But Santa Fe also has some key advantages for younger people just starting out. Kate Noble, founder of MIX Santa Fe networking organization, says marketing, proof of concept and finding talent are sometimes greater challenges than funding for the participants of Santa Fe’s popular startup accelerator program BizMIX, which hosts a yearly pitch contest, a business development program and small financial awards for people with creative business ideas. She
says having such a strong community of people who think outside the box is one of Santa Fe’s advantages for women. “This is a place where an independent spirit is valued, where we have a culture that embraces a freelance, seewhat-happens attitude, and we have hundreds of badass women who have discovered that they can make it work and who support each other and encourage each other,” says Noble. “That kind of support is such a key asset. … I think entrepreneurship is in this town’s DNA.” Again and again, members of the Santa Fe business community came back to one thing that makes Santa Fe a great place for women in business—each other. Access to networks of personal and professional support from other female founders is not an insignificant advantage. As Forbes reported last year, female founders who are members of business communities are “twice as likely to forecast growth, compared to those who are not.” The Santa Fe female entrepreneurs featured here have one thing in common: They measure their success by their ability to give back as much as by getting ahead.
Laura Hermosillo
Alterations and More Cactus Centro, 2864 Cerrillos Road, Ste. 115, 424-9216 Last year, Laura Hermosillo won the Woman-Owned Business of the Year award from the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce. It was the 10th anniversary of her business, Alterations and More. “When she said my name, my God, I can’t believe it, it was a really big surprise,” she tells SFR in her shop that is packed with carefully hung garments. In the back room, three employees work on repairs next to a large industrial embroidery machine. “One day I was homeless; to be woman-owned business of the year not too many years later—it’s a little crazy!” Hermosillo started her business in 2008 while she was living at the St. Elizabeth’s shelter with her three kids. She had been working for a dry-cleaning service in town for several years, but still hardly spoke a word of English. Far from deterring her, she says the hard times gave her motivation to do whatever she had to do to make it. This attitude has pervaded every aspect of how she has grown her business. “I always try to find the positive things in the bad things,” she says, her English much improved. Hermosillo is originally from Chihuahua, Mexico, where she owned a shop working as a seamstress. “When I first was coming here, I was working cleaning houses, and then at the dry cleaner—but that was not my job
Laura Hermosillo now employs four other women in the business she launched in 2008 while she was living in a homeless shelter.
that I wanted. I have different skills and I wanted to make a business where I can use them,” she says. Hermosillo started her business with three months of expenses in the bank, but that was it—she never took out any loans or participated in any development programs. She says all of her support has come from her family, her community and her clients. Her former boss, for instance, was her first client and is still among her most loyal customers. Over the last 11 years, her shop has grown slowly but steadily. The business started with one room, then two, now she has four rooms in the strip mall on Cerrillos where the shop is located. She now employs four other women. Being a single mom and overcoming the language barrier are the two greatest challenges she has faced in achieving her success, says Hermosillo. She says that she does not believe there are enough resources for the Spanish-speaking community, and that many of the existing resources don’t do enough outreach to women like her. After she won the award, for example, she participated in a Spanish-language information session put on by SCORE and the City of Santa Fe Department of Economic Development to advise others on how to start their own businesses. Many support organizations, loan funds and business advocates were there to give advice to attendees, but only one person showed up in the audience. Hermosillo attributes this to lack of outreach. For the next event, she took a personal approach to inform as many people as possible, and at least 12 people showed up for the most recent info session. But still, she thinks Santa Fe could do more, especially in helping Spanishspeakers overcome the language barrier. She says she tried to get involved with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, but it was unresponsive. That group’s president, though, tells SFR it conducts monthly bilingual meetups. Other organizations, such as the conventional Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce, Santa Fe Professional Business Women and the Santa Fe Business Incubator say they do not put on events or workshops specifically geared towards the Spanish-speaking community, but do hire translators for regularly scheduled events. “To be a woman in a man’s world is difficult,” Hermosillo says, “and if you add to that immigrant, not full English speaker, has kids … For Hispanic people, it’s hard, because we don’t know first the language and we don’t know the rules.” Yet she always found individuals who wanted to help her succeed.

Carolyn Parrs and Alexandria Merlino Carolyn Parrs began with a successful marketing career in New York. But when she moved to Santa Fe over 20 years ago, she says she wanted to start her own business doing something that mattered more. So, she and her then-husband started Mind Over Markets, a marketing firm that helps sustainable brands increase their market share. “We decided to market products and services that we believe in and love, and that was when my values were connected to the work I did, and I really got motivated. I was good at this marketing stuff, and now I just wanted to do it for the things that I felt were good for the planet and the people living on it,” she says. Before Parrs came to Santa Fe, she launched a pet fashion company in New York that she sold just a few years later. This experience made it easier to begin Mind Over Markets. Parrs found her niche in sustainability at a time when the field was more of a fledgling. She started out doing branding for local cosmetics companies, but quickly took on clients all over the country because she was one of the few firms with expertise in the area. She now has an office in Seattle and speaks at conferences around the country. She says she is grateful to live in a place where so many women are empowered to run their own local establishments, but

the city could be doing a lot more to support women who want to start businesses with a wider scope and national audience. “Do I think Santa Fe can do a better job for women in business? Yes!” she says. “I do not think we have a lot of resources for women in business. If you are passionate and hungry, you can make it happen— because I made my business happen while raising two kids. So, I’m not saying it can’t be done in Santa Fe, but you have to really connect the dots, build your relationships.” On the other hand, says Parrs, the advantage of living in Santa Fe is that people are willing to give beginners a chance, and the individuals who have the resources and connections that a small business needs in order to succeed are all within reach. Her experience of bigger cities has been that small enterprises have a lot more competition, and support can be harder to find. Her advice for other women is based in her marketing experience. “You have to
tend the network of community support to others. “I want to give classes to ladies at the Esperanza Shelter. I want to contribute. First, how to learn to sew, and then to take the next step for themselves. I lived in Esperanza shelter for one month when I just started my business, so this is the reason that I want to help the ladies; to give back the help that I received in the moment.”

know your skill, know your brand identity and put yourself together in a professional way. Your brand is your first impression out there.” Now, Parrs is in the process of launching her third business with partner Alexandra Merlino making reef-safe sunscreen in bottles made out of recycled ocean plastic, and the sunscreen itself is produced in Taos. The company, called You Are My Sunshine, is “totally New Mexico-centric,” she says. Merlino is also a serial entrepreneur with experience starting businesses in New York as well as Albuquerque. She tells SFR, “I focus on creating solution-based companies.” Her last business, Teres Kids, manufactured clothing for children with tactile sensitivities. “That’s just crazy!” she says dubiously when SFR asks whether she would consider Santa Fe the best place for women in business. “I do however know a lot of women who are service providers, massage therapists, artists, we have all these really small businesses and lots of crafters here, and that’s great, but it depends on how you define ‘small business.’ … I think there is a great community here of women supporting each other, but I think a lot of women go into business not because they want to but because they don’t have a choice in Santa Fe.” But she also says that for many people she knows who could likely find betterpaying jobs elsewhere, the community, the landscape and the culture make the struggle worthwhile. If there is one thing the city could do better, she says, it would be to provide a more robust mentorship network for women just starting out. Merlino approached Parrs a year ago with the idea for You Are My Sunshine because, she says, they had values and experiences that were complimentary. In the decade that they had known each other, Parrs had also started Women of Green, an online forum for women with interests in sustainability. In the process of starting Mind Over

traditional techniques to create pieces with an aesthetic that felt contemporary and innovative. “Native American jewelry traditions weren’t being respected, but I realized I could do something to change that,” she says. Platero approached Navajo Nation council delegates and the CEO of Navajo Arts and Crafts Enterprise, a manufacturing initiative owned by the Navajo Nation, to ask for funding. She partnered with NACE to access manufacturing space and craftsmen in Window Rock and in Santa Fe. NACE plans to start classes and apprenticeship programs on traditional silversmithing for youth. “The delegates were very excited to support my vision of Native American jewelry, which could be really interesting to younger artisans who might be intrigued by having different opportunities, like traveling with an international brand and the possibility to incorporate modern design into the traditional techniques,” says Platero.
Markets, Parrs says, she met so many women with amazing and inspiring ideas, and she wanted to share her professional experience to help other women get their companies off the ground. She began coaching women in sustainable business practice, and in 2017 she held the first Women of Green conference in Santa Fe.

“I used to feel like I existed in two separate worlds. One was the life I was born into—I was brought up very traditionally, speaking Diné with my grandparents and tending to the animals on their farm,” says Samantha Platero. “The other was the life that I chose in the world of international fashion that was very cosmopolitan. It used to feel impossible for me to exist in both worlds, both identities, at the same time. It was painful to feel I had to choose one or the other. And now, here I am—I’ve found a way to bring those two worlds together, and I’ve done it through jewelry, which is such an important part of my heritage.” Platero means silversmith in Spanish. She says the craft has been carried on by both sides of her family for generations, and her grandparents were well known for their craftsmanship by Native American jewelry collectors such as Lucille Ball. Platero was born in Gallup, New Mexico, and grew up on the Navajo Nation near Prewitt along the I-40 corridor. But she had dreams that extended far beyond the boundaries of the reservation. At 18, she moved to Europe to study art and photography in Rome, then to London to pursue a degree in international journalism and media studies. It was there that by fate or by chance, a part-time job with a jewelry designer sparked a career that eventually led back to New Mexico. In the eight years Platero spent working for fine jewelry designers in Paris, London and Los Angeles, she noticed Native motifs were being exploited by non-Native designers. “I knew there as a market for an international Native American fine jewelry brand because these items were very popular,” says Platero. Growing up, she watched her grandparents get taken advantage of by non-Native people who bought jewelry for a fraction of what it was worth and then made a huge profit reselling it at marked-up prices. Going back as an adult, she learned the craft was quickly being lost because few young people saw it as an opportunity, and older Diné silversmiths were struggling to compete with inauthentic, cheaply made pieces flooding the market. She decided to create a brand employing master craftsmen practicing
Native American jewelry traditions weren’t being respected, but I realized I could do something to change that.
Samantha Platero brought experience in the global jewelry market back home to Diné artisans.
In the two years since Platero moved to Santa Fe to start her company, Dineh Jewelry, in 2017, she has been remarkably successful. Her collections are represented by international showroom Touba London, sell in major stores including Barneys Japan, EDITION and Matchesfashion, and have shown at Fashion Week in Paris and London. This summer she will take part in international men’s trade show Pitti Uomo in Florence, Italy. But with success comes growing pains. Platero is at the stage now where she could make it or break it. She is doing as much she can with the resources she has, but to keep up with the volume of orders from buyers and to compete with the multimillion-dollar brands in the industry, her business must expand. Investors and buyers are always surprised to see her, she says. They are expecting someone older, more established—and above all, it seems to her, they are expecting a man. “I’ve had investors tell me they would feel more comfortable if I had a business partner, by which they made it pretty obvious they meant a male business partner,” she says. “And I’ve had men say they are concerned I would spend too much money focused on my ‘lifestyle.’ Honestly, it’s probably because they don’t know how to deal with a smart, ambitious, beautiful young woman who wants to be their equal,” she laughs, then becomes serious as she discusses the very real gender biases in start-up funding. She says she’s grateful she got the chance to participate in a Native Entrepreneur in Residence program with New Mexico Community Capital last year that helped her develop a long-term business plan, “build my confidence in my business and learn the tools and the vernacular to be a successful entrepreneur. If I hadn’t done that program, this phase would have been so much harder.” Eventually, Platero envisions growing her brand to include other traditional Diné art forms such as weaving, and creating a market for contemporary items that simultaneously preserve tradition and build economic opportunity for Diné youth. “I am proud of where I come from, I know my roots, I am very centered in that. So yeah, you might look at me and say. ‘Oh, she looks so cosmopolitan.’ And at times I do get judged by other Native people, because my lifestyle and my aesthetic is so modern. But at the same time, I can go and butcher a sheep or be part of our ceremonies and speak Diné with the craftsmen I work with. This business allows me to embrace all aspects of myself. And as a young Native woman, this is crucial.”

News forecast from the internet: Gloomy with a side of dystopia BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl
F
or a variety of reasons—let’s say 70% professional, 20% masochistic and 10% existential—I spend a great deal of time reading about technology. Last week, like many weeks, that meant reading about Facebook. On May 9, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes produced an op-ed for The New York Times calling for lawmakers to break up the technology behemoth. Specifically, he backed presidential candidate and US Rep. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) call for the Federal Trade Commission to reverse Facebook’s acquisitions in 2012 and 2014 of Instagram and WhatsApp, respectively. Hughes’ detailed narrative of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s undiluted power over the company and, thus, over its users’ experience, though not surprising, was chilling; while describing his former college pal as a “good, kind person,” he also noted that Zuckerberg has, essentially, “unilateral” power over speech: “There is no precedent for his ability to
monitor, organize and even censor the conversations of two billion people.” Two days later, Nick Clegg, Facebook’s vice president for global affairs and communications, responded, also in The New York Times, disputing Hughes’ argument as well as some of Hughes’ reasoning as it related to monopolies and anti-trust laws. But Clegg did concede that social media companies represent a significant problem for society and democracy (also: the sky is blue). “If people were writing the rules for the internet from scratch today,” Clegg writes, “they wouldn’t want so many important social, political and ethical questions left in the hands of private companies.” Nonetheless, he argues, breaking up Facebook won’t fix the problem. Rather, he says, governments need to create legislative solutions that will help Facebook and other social media companies protect consumers’ privacy. The Times published both pieces as part of its Privacy Project series, which launched in April and provides a good jumping-off spot for anyone who wants to have a nervous breakdown learn more about the current state of digital privacy. The opinion series, so Will regulators check Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s unchecked power? far, has been wide-rangANTHONY QUINTANO

ing. One article examines online ad targeting (you know, the wonderful phenomena of shopping online for a bathing suit and then seeing nothing but bathing suit ads). Another looks at facial recognition cameras in China, and how their use purportedly makes that country’s citizens feel more safe. An early April story examined insurance companies’ uses of monitoring technologies like Fitbit to surveil customers’ lifestyle habits—noting that those living healthy lives might receive lowered premiums. One column by Times writer Ross Douthat makes a convincing argument for our country’s collective willing—if haphazard—descent into a totalitarian panopticon, and a just-as-persuasive argument that the only start of a solution lies in internet-free zones. (The series, though informative, is somewhat light on advocacy—the Electronic Frontier Foundation, eff.org, provides resources if you’re looking to take action on internet privacy issues.) I have a recent fantasy I’ve shared

with anyone who will listen (a shrinking number of people, I’m afraid) of a social-media-free 2020 election. Yes, I’m waxing nostalgic: I want an election without tweets, viral videos, racist bots and the like. Just to see what happens. It’s a fantasy, of course, driven by digital privilege. Barring a complete collapse of the electrical grid or personal circumstances (neither of which I’m advocating), I’m unlikely to experience an internet-free election. And neither are you. As of now, very few people live offline. Specifically, only 10% of Americans don’t use the internet (in 2000, that figure was 48%). According to The Pew Research Center, which last month investigated the demographic identities of such people, internet non-users are mostly older (65+), poorer (18% of people who don’t use the internet earn less than $30,000 a year) and 29% have less than a high school education. Last week, the Pew Center examined the current state of the digital divide as part of its own series. Its most significant finding is that lower-income Americans rely on their smartphones for internet use. Two-thirds of higher-earning Americans have both multiple devices as well as broadband service at home. In lower-income families, users primarily use their phones for activities such as applying for jobs and homework (this is known as the homework gap). Democratic legislators are pursuing various remedies to the digital divide: The Digital Equity Act of 2019 was introduced in the Senate last month; in March, US Sen. Tom Udall and US Reps. Ben Ray Luján and Deb Haaland of New Mexico introduced a bill to help put wifi on school buses to alleviate the homework gap for New Mexican students. Is there a solution that bridges the space between children doing their homework on smart phones and adults doxxing one another on Twitter? Tag me if you find one.

A THOUSAND WORDS Stalwart gallery KEEP Contemporary zeroes in on all things photographic with Nord, its newest opening and a decidedly darker show than we’ve seen from the space thus far. Five shooters from Russia, Norway and Iceland show haunting imagery, from skewed figurative work to chilling frozen landscapes. Evocative of folklore, the work of Jean-Baptiste Mouton, Amy Haslehurst, Benjamin Hardman, Daria Endresen and Natalia Drepina is ostensibly inviting, though jarring, dreamlike and loaded with drama. Happy little shots these aren’t, but worth the challenge? No question. A number of the artists are scheduled to appear. (ADV) Nord: 5 pm Friday May 17. Free.

Founded in 1986, the nonprofit is committed to continuing the architectural heritage and tradition of New Mexico; thus, Adobe Brick-Making Day each Saturday in May. Participants can join Cornerstone representatives to learn the ins and outs of making adobe bricks which will then be used to preserve historic buildings. “Traditionally in New Mexico, May is a time to make adobe bricks in preparation for summer and fall,” says Jake Barrow, executive director of CCP. “We want people to know what it’s about, we want to keep the tradition alive.” (Per Olson) Adobe Brick-Making Community Day: 9:30 am-1:00 pm Saturday May 18.

One Word New space Peralta is here for the people “Peralta!” Joel Leshefka says. “Unfortunately in 2019, all the single word/easy names and dot-coms are taken, so with emails, Instagram handles and websites, we had to get creative.” Peralta is, in simplest terms, a new arts space in Santa Fe. There are many of these, of course, but Leshefka, along with his wife Krysta Jabczenski, envision theirs working a little differently. “Our official mission statement is to host engaging events that provide a creative outlet for mid-career to underthe-radar artists. It’s our hope that the space will foster greater community and serve as a platform for interesting work of all mediums,” Jabczenski says. “This first show is heavy on textiles, which was intentional.” This means weavings by Emilie Richardson, Kevin Aspaas, Astral Weaves and more, but also photography from Amelia Bauer’s Extra Terrestrial series. Bauer, who Santa Feans may know as the mastermind behind the growing (and inherently impressive) Noise For
NOW! series of concerts at the Santa Fe Opera, showcases earthy landscapes against stark black backgrounds. Peralta will also house pop-up retail events and, for Leshefka and Jabczenski, the goal was to work with artists they admired. “Some are folks we’ve worked with in the past, or some are people we’ve met since moving here,” Leshefka explains. “And still more are people we’ve never met in person, and reached out specifically for this show.” So think of Peralta like an experiment, or a little bit like co-op space Dandelion Guild with more of a visual arts focus. Either way, underrepresented artists have a chance to show, the arts are even more democratized and collectors who aren’t millionaires have a fighting chance to increase their holdings. Win/win/win.

Gold: from the Big Bang to the Amazon forest
Terry Wallace
Los Alamos National Director Emeritus
Minerals are the planet’s DNA, containing the fragments of the Earth’s complex history from its formation nearly 4.6 billion years ago to the rise of life. Gold is one of the most fascinating of the 4,500 mineral species on Earth, and no mineral (or metal) evokes more emotion. But it also has an incredible scientific story: a gold nugget is made of material that was not born in our planet or even our solar system. Join Laboratory director emeritus Terry Wallace as he explores the beauty of the cosmic and tectonic journey that gold has taken, and the spell it has cast over humankind. Albuquerque

BLAZE AND GLIMMER
Ben Dickey on the movies, music and his upcoming Santa Fe performance
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
On how Blaze wound up infiltrating his own creative space, Dickey says, “The first thing it did was make me completely immerse myself in someone else’s music. I love to learn other people’s songs, but I’ve never abandoned all musical direction to sit with somebody else’s music, to wade in it. What I realized with Blaze was that there’s a lot hidden in his simplicity. These are three-chord songs, but there’s a lot of nuance you can do with them. The second thing it did was, being on a movie set, seeing how that universe translates to the music universe— to me, it overlapped perfectly, … that storytelling and emotional expression. It made me respect ‘team’ and the mission; having all your tools sharp.” On whether Blaze Foley stuck with him, Dickey says, “In a way. For about five months after the movie. I had some pretty profound and generous and talented actors reach out to help me prepare;
a folk artist, Ben Dickey,’ … I think of the Big Bill Broonzy quote: ‘All music is folk music, I ain’t never heard no horse play a song.’ If me and my friends are talking about music, and they love music and are historians of music, I’ll say I’m a rock musician. I play country-blues, R&B, this … music I love, it’s American music. It has roots. All that stuff is what I understand rock to be—this souped-up, throttled-up blues and country swing. I try to tell people what I like right now, and what I like right now is big electric guitar, musicians who want to explore inside of architecturally finished songs but know songs can change, songs can be different things. I want musicians with purpose, who have something to say.” RE

en Dickey catapulted into the cultural lexicon as the star of last year’s Blaze, the Ethan Hawke-helmed biopic about tragically under-appreciated country musician Blaze Foley, a contemporary of Townes and Willie. Foley’s life proved a tragic tale; he was a self-destructive type who was shot and killed in Austin, Texas, in 1989—but who wound up achieving legend status with fans like John Prine and Merle Haggard immortalizing his songs “Clay Pigeons” and “If I Could Only Fly,” respectively. Dickey feels like a legend in the making as well. With a couple films under his belt and two solo albums, including this year’s A Glimmer on the Outskirts—which was produced by his Blaze co-star Charlie Sexton, who also plays on the record—and a nationwide solo tour currently underway, he shows no signs of slowing down. But Dickey doesn’t have the bearing of a movie star, and his Santa Fe performance finds him taking over The Kitchen Sink. I caught up with Dickey while he was in Prescott, Arizona, recording new tracks.
Vincent D’Onofrio, and Ethan [Hawke], other people from the New York world. These guys were all super-generous, but the one thing they didn’t really talk to me about was what happened after the movie was over. Blaze was a tragic figure, and the way we portrayed him in the movie was that he was in a tailspin. But the tailspin happened to fruit some pretty amazing pieces of music. Me and Ethan, we saw each other in the spring of ’17, and we had to lean into each other, because it’s hard to pull yourself out of it when you mesh in with somebody else. It can feel dangerous. The way [Blaze is] with me now, I feel like I know him in a huge way.” On whether he’ll keep acting, Dickey points out that “I was in that movie The Kid that we shot out there in Santa Fe with Ethan and Chris Pratt and Dane DeHaan. I’ll put it this way: I’m comfortable on a set. I really love it. I’ve done it twice, once where I was number one on the call sheet, once when I was number eight; but I really like the process if I care about the piece. I’m not auditioning for stuff willy-nilly. My agents know music is my hyper-focus for 2019, but I’m working on a Showtime show with Ethan this fall. The part is small-ish, medium, and I’m going to contribute how he wants me to.”
I try to tell people what I like right now, and what I like right now is big electric guitar.
On working with friends like Ethan Hawke, Dickey explains, “We’re great teammates. We had frank conversations with each other before Blaze, like, ‘We’re friends today, we’ll be friends when we’re done with this.’” On his roots in the world of punk rock and DIY, Dickey thinks that “the term ‘punk rock’ is funny. I think it got hijacked at some point. What I did grow up inside was a very do-it-yourself culture, certainly punk rock-fueled. Fugazi is and was one of my favorite musical, artistic expression pieces ever.” On how to quantify his music without using the term “Americana,” Dickey says, “I try not to be pretentious, because words do mean things, but when people say ‘Americana,’ or they’ll say, ‘Oh, you’re
On getting to know Blaze co-star and musician Charlie Sexton, Dickey recalls, “I was a fan since I was a kid. When he got into Bob Dylan’s band, I was like, ‘Dammit, Dylan gets all the cool dudes.’ And then they put out Love and Theft and that’s some of the best music and some of the best guitars all day. Charlie met Ethan when he was making Boyhood, and when Ethan and I were like, ‘Who is gonna play Townes in Blaze?’ I was like, ‘We’ve gotta ask Charlie Sexton, man.’ Inside that crazy dive, both of us got close really fast. Any chance I have to play with Charlie, I have a ball. He doesn’t want to half-ass anything. We’ve played full gigs, duo stuff, but both of us have lots going on.” On his upcoming Santa Fe show, Dickey is slated to play solo and says, “It’s just me and a little stereo amplifier thing. It’s going to be stuff I feel like playing. My new record will be the foremost focus, but I’ve brought back to life songs I’ve written in bands that I never got to release. I’ve got a lot of stuff.” BEN DICKEY 7:30 pm Wednesday May 15. $20. The Kitchen Sink Recording Studio, 528 Jose St., 699-4323

Vitality Vital Spaces’ Jonathan Boyd wants to fill the emptiness
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

onathan Boyd simply got sick of complaining. The St. John’s College grad has lived in Santa Fe for the past 15 years. He’s worked in adobe construction, started a real estate investment company and learned to handcraft wood furniture for which he founded the company Boyd & Allister, but he also says he’s pretty much kept to himself. As a
consumer of art, however, he’s long felt like something was missing from our arts community. “The [Santa Fe] arts scene never feels like it’s for the people or relevant within the contemporary arts discourse,” Boyd tells SFR. “What could I do to make a change? I see the major obstacle as affordable space to create and perform.” Boyd’s nonprofit, Vital Spaces, was born. In a nutshell, Vital Spaces, which Boyd modeled after New York City philanthropist Anita Durst’s Chashama project, seeks to temporarily fill unused buildings with affordable artist studios and performance space. Boyd even worked with Durst in plotting out the particulars. It’s been four years in the making, but Vital Spaces now has three such venues downtown; one on Otero Street that’s already bustling with artists, another on Manhattan Avenue and a third on Johnson Street for which applications are now
open, with a deadline of May 28. Boyd says he has more in the works, but he’s not yet ready to unveil what that will look like. For now, he’s focused on downtown Santa Fe and creating partnerships; Vital Spaces’ Otero location has already hosted a Creative Santa Fe gathering and will be the venue for the next MIX networking event on Thursday May 16. “You can’t get a space to work or show downtown,” Boyd continues, “or even an affordable space [in Midtown] now that the Siler area has blown up—that’s where [artists] used to go, and even that’s become expensive. Vacant spaces do exist, and I saw this as an opportunity.” Boyd is the first, however, to say he’s not an arts expert. He merely understands the real estate side of the equation. This is why he’s assembled an impressive volunteer curatorial committee featuring SITE Santa Fe’s Joanne Lefrak, Jamison Chas Banks and Amber-Dawn Bear Robe of the Institute of American Indian Arts, Bess Murphy from the Ralph T Coe Foundation for the Arts and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum’s Ariel Plotek. These heavy hitters helped Boyd devise the application and review every artist who applies. The process includes short essays on proposed activity, community activity, materials and other criteria. If it sounds involved, it is; and though Boyd and company are looking to serve underrepresented artists and voices, they’re particularly looking for people with something to offer and something to say. Still, Boyd says, “I recognized that I should not be the person deciding who gets space. I recognized that I needed the guidance.” Once selected, the artists have 24-hour access to their space for three to four months. They can lead tours, host events—it can look however they wish, though Boyd hopes for a high level of openness and community access. He

expects rent to run between $80 to $120 a month, which is, frankly, a steal. “Nobody is making any money,” he says. “In fact, [Vital Spaces is] spending money. But I think it’s a good idea, nobody else was going to do it, and I really think it could actually have an impact on Santa Fe.” For Banks, an adjunct studio arts professor at IAIA since 2012, inclusion began with applying for a space. He was approved, and says he mainly uses it so far for sculpture. What it represents, however, is something much larger. “What Vital Spaces is doing … it’s almost unheard of, so when I was brought on, I kept waiting for the other shoe to fall,” Banks says. “I figured this was one of those deals where the developer wants to put Santa Fe back on the map, where [artists] create a bunch of cool things, but after a while, we’re done—I’ve seen it happen numerous times. But that’s not the agenda.” Banks also says that he’s cautiously hoping for Vital Spaces to change the local arts script—one that has absolutely been evolving in recent years, but one that still fosters economic disparity and favors the wealthy. “It’s crushing for an artist to not have any means or connections,” he explains. “But Vital Spaces is a community; you can look at other people’s works, and it’s inspiring.” Boyd says the model could roll out in other places one day, but that Santa Fe will remain his priority for now. “We know all history of city vitality is … artists move into cheap space, they make it desirable and then they get priced out,” He cautions. “But we’re a small city, and it’s expensive. What do you do with that? This is my idea of what you do with that.” VITALMIX 6 pm Thursday May 16. Free. Vital Spaces, 220 Otero St., contact@vitalspaces.org

Former freelance arts journalist Candelora Versace spent years, as she puts it, “bouncing around,” but moving to Santa Fe in the late 1980s calmed her nomadic streak. It’s also living here that helped her hone her craft and, as of a few weeks ago, self-publish Traveling Light, her first novel. Set between Santa Fe and Oaxaca, Mexico, Versace’s book examines a group of characters coming to terms with their lives, themselves and their own hopes and ambitions. Versace reads from the book at Collected Works Bookstore and Coffeehouse this week (6 pm Thursday May 16. Free. 202 Galisteo St., 988-4226), where it is also available for purchase. (Alex De Vore) Why go the self-publishing route? I got a few rejections from agents over the years as I continued to refine the book and improve it, and I sort of felt the clock ticking. The publishing business has changed a great deal. I think publishing houses are looking for blockbusters, the sure thing, Michelle Obama; something that will come out of the gate hard and fast. Literary fiction, regional fiction, small quiet stories that are thought-provoking—you have to work really hard to raise them to a level of sales. I could probably have spent a lot of time finding the right agent, but I was finally like ‘Just get it out into the world!’ I’m grateful the technology exists to do that. ... It provided me the opportunity of getting the work out there. It’ll do whatever it does, but at least it’s not still on my desktop. I have to know—is any of Traveling Light autobiographical? How much of yourself wound up in there? It is not my story. It is fiction, these are fictional characters and the events of the plot and the narrative arc are not real. But every writer puts parts of themselves into things they do, so certainly there are parts of myself in all of the different characters—good, bad or indifferent. I used to travel to Oaxaca a lot, the coast, the mountain villages, and the experience of being in this very foreign environment, for somebody from Detroit, these are obviously very unusual places to go visit. The experience of being in these places where it’s so different … for me, there’s a sense of displacement. That stayed with me long after the reasons I would be visiting these places. It was much more about that feeling of being displaced.

APY* CERTIFICATE
With qualifying checking account And recurring direct deposit.
Did anything surprising come up for you while you were writing the book? The book itself taught me a great deal. It helped me crystallize the way I think about how we make choices in our lives, how we create the life we want. But also just process-wise, the characters showed me who they were. The plot evolved. I’m not an outlining kind of writer, I didn’t have any idea of what it was going to be about. It’s sketches of experiences, and I was trying to work with the words to create a feeling a reader could go in and be changed by. It revealed itself over time. One of the things I learned in my years of freelancing was the ability to go full circle in an article without having to prod it out. You start somewhere, it takes you somewhere; it does that organically rather than you imposing on that.

SFRE PORTE R .CO M /A RTS /ACTI N G O UT
ACTING OUT Seeing Herself Out few weeks ago, a friend and I went to the Violet Crown to see Stage Russia’s simulcast of Uncle Vanya from a theater in Moscow. Still riding high off Oasis Theatre Company’s nice production in Santa Fe in the fall, I was excited. What we got, however, was a strange version that I can only describe as if David Lynch (of Fire Walk With Me and Blue Velvet fame) directed Chekhov, complete with interpretive dance, spooky lighting and odd character choices. My companion and I were perplexed, but transfixed; we didn’t necessarily like it, but we couldn’t turn away. It was technically profound, but totally absurd and not to my taste. At least we had booze. It made me wonder if the Santa Fe theater scene that I crow about so much really is up to snuff. Do you have to have your brow furrowed and never hope to understand a thing in order for it to be groundbreaking? Do you have to be unsure if you even like something in order to love it? Save for Theater Grottesco’s few-andfar-between activities, we don’t really have a company in town right now doing really weird shit. Nothing has freaked me out in a David Lynch kind of way. (What I’m saying, by the way, is that someone should start doing really weird shit.) All this was swirling in my brain when I went to the season opener for New Mexico Actors Lab, that Old Faithful of Santa Fe, ever dependable for presenting hearty modern works in an accessible manner. This remains true in NMAL’s opener for its 2019 season. Artistic Director Robert Benedetti chose the topical A Doll’s House, Part 2, contemporary playwright Lucas Hnath’s sequel to the 1879 play A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen. First produced in 2017, it received eight
Tony nominations that year, and won one. The original play concerned the marriage between Nora and Torvald, which fell apart due to dishonesty concerning money, jobs and love. Nora walked out on Torvald and their two children at the end, saying she needed to take care of herself before she had a duty to anyone else (a radical idea indeed for 1879). This one sees her walking back in after 15 years. But it’s not to reconcile—oh no. She wants only to settle some legal matters. She’s quite happy, she says, having become a well-paid writer (lol) and living a gleeful life as a modern single woman. The strongest first impression in this ROBERT BENEDETTI
A
BY C H A R LOT T E J U S I N S K I c o p y e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
production comes from Kat Sawyer as Anne Marie, the maid and nanny who meets Leslie Dillen’s Nora when she first walks back in the door—and man, is she funny. One of the most natural personalities I’ve seen onstage recently, Sawyer appears effortless, with the driest of deliveries and whip-fast comebacks, all while maintaining a likeable and sometimes almost clueless affect. She was my highlight of the show. Torvald, played here by NMAL regular Nicholas Ballas, is almost everything I imagined he should be. Tall, dapper, handsome, and with a clear, rich voice, Ballas was cast well. But I found that his face was not expressive enough for the range of emotions the character needed. I haven’t noticed this of Ballas in other performances, but his mouth felt particularly stiff, his whole aura restrained. Not sure if that was a gesture toward a gentleman of the time, or whether something’s off, but I missed bigger faces and larger feels from Torvald. Torvald and Nora’s come-to-Jesus moment is effective and appropriately heavy. Nora leads, and I want to cheer her on as she crows about her newfound sexual freedom, how it’s okay for folks to have more than one spouse in life or none at all (and, more wild, that the institution of marriage should be done away with entirely), and other wild-then and somehow-still-wild-now feminist beliefs. It sounds great. I like her envisioned future.
THEATER
But then Torvald gets to talk. Not overbearing, not angry, not snide, he tells Nora: “You run off and you pretend it’s the same thing as being strong!” Oof. That hit like a sucker-punch. From there on, the play acquired another dimension entirely, turning the characters prismatic. And then with the addition of Emmy (Alix Hudson), the daughter that Nora abandoned as a young child, another layer emerges. Do you have to indulge every last feeling that you think will be a good one? Is caring for children every mother’s sole purpose? What if the feminist left her family in order to fight for a better future for them that will be more impactful on them than her physical presence would have been? What are we obligated to do for family? Uncomfortable questions stared down unblinkingly, even if left unanswered. The other layers that pile up, eventually almost humorously, concern just how much each of these characters want and need from each other. And I’m not talking emotional support or loving kindness; I mean legal matters. Paperwork. Contracts. I can’t go into detail without spoilers, but it becomes laugh-out-loud despicable after a while. Eventually I decided that yeah, no, I don’t think I actually like any of these people. But I was glad to come to that conclusion; consistent performances that lead to evolution of our opinions are the best ones. Indeed, perhaps Nora’s nicest moment is one in which she is alone onstage. Dillen is onstage for the entire duration of the play (90 minutes with no intermission), and when she’s finally left alone waiting to meet Emmy, we see Nora waver for the first time. She takes a shaking breath. Her face crumples in her hands. It was the moment at which I most liked Nora. Not coincidentally, it was the only moment at which any of these characters were not asking for something from someone else, or meddling dishonestly in someone else’s affairs for some kind of personal gain. It was one brief respite; a rare moment of truth. And as golden sunset light streamed in the door at the end of the play, I felt a strange peace; not a happy one, per se, but a satisfied one, not clogged by bells or whistles or interpretive dance. As ever, from a show from NMAL.

Pizzeria Espiritu It’s been about a million years since Espiritu left behind its Canyon Road location, but the little Italian eatery that lives in a strip mall on St. Michael’s Drive has steadily remained one of the better spots in town. Much of this can be traced to the house-made pizza dough that comes in both thin and deep dish varieties—try traditional pizza favorites like pepperoni or sausage ($11.80$22.95, depending on the circumference), or the good-to-the-last bite calzones. But for our money, the number one choice is the Greek pie ($12.45$20.45), which combines marinara, mozzarella and Kalamata olives, dusted with just the right amount of feta, for an explosive flavor and the best savory notes. Pair that with beer and wine and a dessert list including Italian faves like tiramisu or American hits such as house-made cookies ($1.50$5.75), and you’ve got a winning combination in an unassuming location. Eat, drink and be merry. (Alex De Vore)
The Ranch House There are few cuisines that have caused the rending of friendships, the division of families, the destruction of dreams and the agree-to-disagree passive-aggressive kiss-offs that barbecue has inspired. All over America and across the globe, the ways in which people cook meat vary almost as much as the flavors in the sauces slathered thereon. Santa Fe has its own beloved barbecue joints, but there are few that provoke as many “oh, that’s my favorite” claims than The Ranch House. Those left heartbroken when Josh’s Barbecue on Zafarano closed in the late aughts were delighted to see that chef Josh Baum commandeered a classier, cavernous space just a little further south to keep serving his red chile-glazed ribs ($17.95-$28.95), brined and smoked chicken with white barbecue sauce ($13.95), a steak and shrimp combo with brown butter glaze and frizzled onions ($18.95) and waffle fries with brisket and queso ($10.20). So often, large restaurants speak to poor quality, but don’t let the big dining rooms scare you off—even though they could easily host your whole rehearsal dinner. All the size does is speak to the devoted following of the massive meat church in which Baum serves as gracious pastor. (Charlotte Jusinski)

Pho Ava Vietnamese cuisine, which hasn’t been Americanized in the same way that much of Chinese food has, is generally free of heavy oils or homogeneous tastes. While still solidly comforting, it’s often also perky and fresh, accented with buoyant lemongrass, cilantro and South Asian peppers. Gaining in popularity in recent years, pho (a soup of broth, noodles and thinly sliced meat) is one of the best things you can eat on a cold day, on a sick day, on a sad day, on a celebration day—or, hell, on a hot day or a sleepy day or an energetic day. The meat is raw when it’s dropped into the hot broth, and actually cooks while in the soup. It’s often spiced with seasonings you expect in sweet dishes—coriander, cinnamon and mint—giving it a light finish while remaining filling. Pho Ava’s dishes don’t disappoint with a steak pho ($10.50), salt and pepper stir-fry with nice and spicy fried shrimp ($14) and two massive spring rolls with a tasty peanut dipping sauce for $4.50—plus 79 other items that you order by the number. A creamy Thai tea and a floral lychee milkshake ($5 each) tack a sweet ending onto a satisfying comfort food journey. (CJ)

My Little Dumpling Finding the yin to my yang at Dumpling Tea & Dim Sum
BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
he email from my editor was cryptic: “New restaurant. Something about dumplings and tea?” I nearly stopped breathing. My relationship to dumplings is serious. They’re the yoga to my pants; the sloth to my cecropia. One of the few foods I will wait in line to eat. My last memorable encounter with the dumpling was at a shopping mall in Seattle, where I agreed to wait in line for two hours for a taste of Taiwanese dumpling chain Din Tai Fung’s famous hand-crafted packages of heaven. So, obviously, I Googled “dumpling tea santa fe” at a speed of approximately 9,347 WPM and, lo and behold—got a result. The website was sparse, but it said all I needed to know: “handmade dumplings” on the Plaza. I was off like a prom dress. Scurrying from a spring squall, I climbed the stairs into the Plaza Galeria and there on the San Francisco Street level, tucked in a back corner, sat Dumpling Tea & Dim Sum (66 E San Francisco St., 646-945-5000). The space is small, with a handful of tables, only one of which was occupied. I tried to quell my excitement. This could be really amazing. Or it could be really disappointing. The menu looked authentic with straightforward offerings, all handmade. With bigger eyes than stomachs, my

Get to Dumpling Tea & Dim Sum inside the Plaza Galeria, then order everything you possibly can.
I sat, fork at attention, ready to ease dumpling delivery from steaming basket to needy mouth. The fried pork potstickers ($7.99) came first. The delicate wrapper had been crisply fried and the interior was what I had anticipated: Not a ball of “meat stuff,” but tender chunks of chopped pork studded with scallion and ginger. The same went for the steamed veggie dumplings ($7.99). The neat little packages contained crunchy veggies in pieces large enough to identify: cabbage, onion, mushrooms, carrots, all marinating in a pungent internal steam of garlic and ginger. On and on it went. The steamed pork buns ($9.99), when cut into, poured forth a broth similar to a soup dumpling, rich with fat and umami. The veggie noodle soup ($7.99) featured wide, homemade rice noodles in a broth that was fragrant yet whisper-light in flavor. The vegetables—broccoli, sprouts, cabbage, celery— stood out with color and crunch. The gold coin cucumber salad ($5.50) was irresistible; slightly sweet, mostly salty and totally refreshing. I kept eating, ignoring the fact that my stomach had flipped its “closed” sign a good 15 minutes earlier. It’s obviously not just me enjoying all the wonderful problems associated with damn fine dumplings. Just two months after opening, Wang and behind-thecurtains partner Mark Pacheco are already expanding Dumpling Tea & Dim Sum, taking over vacant space next door. Hard at work unloading new restaurant equipment, Pacheco breathlessly enthused, “We’re so excited. It will increase our capacity by a lot and we’ll have room for larger parties, including six- and eight-tops.” Well, praise be to the Gods of the Foods for that, because I’m going to need way more room to spread out at Dumpling Tea & Dim Sum. I would be disappointed if I had to wait for a table but I would, indeed, wait … thinking sweet thoughts of devouring Fen Wang’s delectable dumplings.

assistants-in-eating and I agreed to order pretty much everything on the menu. And that’s when the dumpling maestro made her first appearance. With experienced hands, she took her spot, a stage of wooden block before her, and began forming dumplings. Around this time, people slowly began filling up the tiny space. A Santa Fe police officer and a table of co-workers; a group of camera-strapped tourists. A takeout line began to form. Suddenly, I became frightened that it was going to be hard to get a table at Dumpling Tea & Dim Sum. “This is the real deal,” I thought. Owner Fen Wang is most definitely the real deal. A relatively new arrival to Santa Fe, Wang sold her dumpling shop in New York City to enjoy the good life of the Southwest. She’s a native of Dalian, China,andWang’sartofthedumplingisobviously one well-studied. In watching the maestra at work with the fresh wrappers, I noticed the fillings were also finely crafted. These balls of veggies or pork spooned into their wrappers weren’t the usual fine mince of unidentifiable ingredients; the veggies were chopped just right enough to retain their structure, the pork in chunks just big enough to lend chew and texture. Our drinks arrived—a mango smoothie, passionfruit smoothie and mango bubble tea (each $5.50). I don’t usually drink such fruity things, but with dumplings, the sweetness is a best friend to the ginger spice and savory salt of dumplings. The mango bubble tea tasted of fresh fruit with big marbles of dark tapioca lining the bottom of the cup. The smoothies weren’t so much traditional smoothies as they were juice and finely shaved ice. The texture was a hard-to-describe delight somewhere between Hawaiian shaved ice and fresh snow.

World War I was known at the time as the war to end all wars—and looking at Europe’s casualty rate, it’s hard to argue. For John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, the war added yet another chapter to his already tumultuous life. Already orphaned, Tolkien was told by a Catholic ward he couldn’t wed his great love, a Protestant, and the list goes on. Such obstacles are at the forefront of the new biopic, Tolkien, and serve as the driving force for the Lord of the Rings author’s genius. Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road) leads as Professor Tolkien or, as he was more affectionately known, John Ronald. Hoult does brighten up in parts, though most of his performance feels wooden and vacant. Lily Collins (Okja) as Tolkien’s love Edith, however, is the complete opposite, and the film’s greatest sin is leaving her character with little to do. Elsewhere, the Tea Club and Barrovian Society, or TCBS, John Ronald’s quartet of boyhood scholars, gleefully contribute to some of the best scenes of the film with a Stand By Me vibe, while I, Claudius alum Derek Jacobi is is quite welcome as Tolkien’s mentor, Professor Joseph Wright. Although the historicity of the material is top-

notch, emotional connection winds up sacrificed at the feet of accuracy. It’s almost as if writers Derek Gleeson and Stephen Beresford had composed a checklist with snippets of dialogue locked in for the script with no intent to budge. Director Dome Karukoski (Tom of Finland) knows how to visually harness the beauty in the mundane, but ultimately leaves the viewer desiring more intimacy between characters. The achievement of Tolkien is, without a doubt, its good looks. Every sequence is photographed with brilliance; bright light accompanies Edith at a piano or dancing and blue-gray hues saturate soldiers, oranges and yellows assault on the horizon in battle. These palettes are inserted alongside hallucinatory effects such as fire-breathing dragons and black knights materializing during the Battle of the Somme. Unfortunately, these
are the only visual examples of Tolkien creating, and we all would have benefitted from deeper or better examples of his imagination at work. Any fan of Tolkien’s life and works will surely be entertained, but it’s hard to say if the average movie-goer would be equally charmed. As the father of modern fantasy literature and its wildly popular branching paths, the celebrated author, linguist and intellectual deserves more than a single film to discuss the complexities of his work. In the meantime, we have one more average biopic to add to the ever-growing subgenre. TOLKIEN Directed by Karukoski With Hoult, Collins and Jacobi Jean Cocteau Cinema, PG-13, 112 min.

made kung fu movies that take full advantage of jaw-dropping cinematography and deathdefying stunts get a pass on everything else? In the “pro” column, Shadow paints a pretty picture of fairy-tale intrigue. A war has raged between territories since time immemorial, and the commander of one such territory’s army (Chao Deng) hatches a plan along with his clever wife (Li Sun) and a dedicated doppelgänger (also Deng).

every step, his master plan begins to unfold. Too bad everyone around there is a kung fu genius. Conflict, naturally, arises, and that simple plan of getting a dude who looks just like him to do all kinds of crazy things starts to seem convoluted. Of course, we’re not really here for a flawless plot or fantastic examples of thespian skill—we’re here for the kung fu. And it is epic (which we say honestly hating what the internet has done to that word). Here, fans of
THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA
the genre will find every bit as much to like as in Zhang’s other works, but with better tech steering the car and allowing for more complex results. In these fight scenes—replete with bizarre weaponry and stunning, rainswept backgrounds—Shadow succeeds time and time again, but it’s often back to the politics of the court, some painfully misdirected stabs at comic levity and long expositional conversations that feel stilted at best. In Zhang’s overall body of work, Shadow holds its own, but it’s certainly not going to wind up a cultural phenomenon as his other works have. Ang Lee’s brilliant Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sort of stacked the kung fu deck forever, anyway, and though Shadow can be good fun, it can also take too long getting there. (Alex De Vore)

Prohibition, suppressive gender dynamics and xenophobia all rear their ugly heads, revealing an older-looking but relevant America; If you thought our past were full of smiles and ragtime, this shows otherwise. Haley Lu Richardson (Split) plays a teenage version of screen star Louise Brooks, New York-bound for dancing reasons. Richardson’s youthful exuberance and natural talent makes her fascinating to watch and she steals entire scenes. Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey) as Norma Carlisle, meanwhile, is Louise’s chaperone, and a counter to her personality. McGovern finds her character’s greatest power either via cooly expressing her values to the ignorant, or in discovering her New York past. The supporting cast are pleasant enough with eyes on Lord of the Rings star Miranda Otto as Louise’s dance instructor, and Singles lead Campbell Scott as Norma’s secretive husband in particular. Unfortunately, accomplished thespian Blythe Danner couldn’t be bothered to do anything other than arrive and collect her check. Julian Fellowes, also of Downton Abbey, pens a screenplay average in narrative structure, but clever in the quiet conversations, and the film’s biggest blunders are in allowing well-written dialogue to be ruined by a lack of direction. One wishes Engler were more active in helping his actors make choices in both body language and pitch.
Despite that, the production design is quite convincing. Nothing looks fake, but rather aged, as if preserved in time for this exact production. Camera work and lighting are fluid as well; bright, yet accommodating to the environment. Other elements are wonkier, such as choppy

editing that robs lead actors of emotional moments landing with gravitas or poor vocal dubbing that makes one wonder when the Shaolin monks might fly into the air, swords in hand. As one can guess, The Chaperone would have made a far better special on PBS than a theatrical release. Its relatively small viewership could have found a charming enough program for a Sunday evening view, favorite vice in hand. (MKG)

“No one can chaperone me, ya punk-ass scrub!” says Haley Lu Richardson in The Chaperone.
+ BREAKNECK FUN AND INCREDIBLE SPECIAL EFFECTS; SO SATISFYING
- MANIPULATIVE WITH THE FEELS
It’s been a little over 10 years since the first Iron Man film taught us that comic book flicks could be well-made, quite fun and well worth it, and the saga it spawned—which of course rolls up about a zillion other titles from Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel to Dr. Strange and Spider-Man: Homecoming—comes to a close in the latest and final (we think) Avengers movie, Endgame. We rejoin Iron Man, Thor, War Machine, Black Widow, Rocket Raccoon, Ant Man and a whole cadre of other heroes in the aftermath of super villain Thanos’ finger-snapping annihilation of 50% of the universe’s living creatures. This meant a whole mess of our favorites—like Spider-Man, dammit— had faded to death and to dust. Cue tears. But despite the despotic madman from across the stars’ best hopes for some sort of universal
balance restoration, pretty much no one in the galaxy is grateful. Hence, the surviving Earthlings and non-Earthlings alike keep the teamwork going and hatch a plan to try and bring everyone back. Cue more tears. It’s true what you’ve heard about Endgame‘s long runtime (just pee before), but the magic in directors Joe and Anthony Russo’s latest entry is in how it never ever stops rocking even for an instant. If anything, it feels a little shorter than it could have been. Perhaps it’s in how everything from every extended franchise has been leading to this showdown since day one, or maybe it’s in the clever ways the Russo brothers manage to present a greatest hits feel without exhausting the audience. Even the slower moments feel necessary, even the clearly emotionally manipulative swelling of the music as fight scenes go down or friends come together feel warranted. For this and so many other reasons, Endgame is wildly satisfying, even when it doesn’t pan out in the ways we might like. Cue even more tears—which is odd, really, because these are comic book characters with fantastic powers who are wrapped up in utterly absurd scenarios time and time again. But they’ve been with us most of our lives, in comic form and on television, in movie theaters and video games. Scoff if you will, non-fans, but for those who surrender to the siren call of Marvel Comics and Studios, it feels like we’re rooting for our friends through every painful twist and heart-soaring victory.

GEORGE R.R MARTIN’S CINEMA
It still stings that NBC canceled Freaks & Geeks, y’know? Anyway, Linda Cardellini and her family gets La Llorona’d in The Curse of La Llorona. young and young folks look old, some honest-toGod tearjerker moments and the return of Brie Larson’s ultra-fun Carol Danvers, and we’ve really got something going. Think of it like a love letter to the fans—a bombastic, over-the-top love letter rife with the smoothest CGI, a darker tone and a couple cameos from the Community cast (from whence the Russo brothers came) all working together in glorious synergy for what is easily one of the best action movies of our time. Go for the face-punching, stay for the hugs; engage in the culture every once in awhile. (ADV)
Regal (both locations), Violet Crown, PG-13, 181 min.
THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA
4
+ FOLKLORE IS OBJECTIVELY COOL - WHY DO THEY KEEP LEAVING THE KIDS IN OTHER ROOMS?
For those who come from places familiar with the folklore, The Curse of La Llorona, the newest entry from the Annabelle microcosm of films—such as The Nun and The Conjuring—have probably felt irritated by the thought of a Hollywood take on the age-old tale. And these people are right, because it’s a pretty terrible movie if we’re being generous, and a lousy example of appropriation if we’re being honest. Freaks & Geeks alum Linda Cardellini is Anna, a social worker-slash-mom whose cop husband, a Hispanic man we’re told, died before the events of the film. Life is hard, raising kids alone is tough; Anna gets the briefest expositional moments before it’s off to take kids away from a poor Mexican mother because she locked them in a closet “to keep them safe.” Really, we know she’s hiding them from being Llorona’d. But when those kids wind up in the social care system and subsequently disappear, Anna’s own brood wind up stalked by the ghostly remains of a once-beautiful woman who, years ago, in a fit of jealous rage, drowned her children and now ghosts around drowning other kids so they can somehow take their place. She’s La Llorona, dammit. Anna sets about confronting the spirit with the help of a defrocked priest-slash-curandero (Raymond Cruz of Breaking Bad), but La Llorona is more powerful than they can imagine, so jump scares occur, close calls go down and the music swells suddenly while the ghost tries to drown everybody. It’s horror, y’know? You basically know the gist. In the beginning, glimpses of the ghost are pretty scary, but once we’ve seen her a few times and the law of diminishing returns
kicks in, it really becomes a game of running down the clock. And this would all be acceptable in that horror movies are often not so great, but La Llorona centers the story on white folks (not counting the kids, because don’t forget that the dead dad was Hispanic—but even they take a backseat to the mom’s actions despite being the targets of attempted ghost murder). There are certainly other Hispanic cast members, but they’re relegated to plot devices with shitty motives and deus ex machina which, frankly, is tiresome and problematic. Cardellini does have her moments, particularly in how she might be the first actor ever to deliver a believable onscreen scream, but after she leaves the kids alone one too many times, we start to wonder if she even really wants to help them and we start to wonder if we even care. Spoiler alert: we don’t. (ADV)

SHE-BA and her sister SHE-RA were rescued near St. Vincent Hospital at about 4 weeks old. They had been on their own for a while, but were eating solid food. SHE-RA immediately displayed her dominance by protecting her sister. After realizing they were safe, SHE-RA let her guard down and has become a cuddle bug. Both girls get along with the other cats and gentle dogs. SHE-BA loves to chase and be chased by her sister, then stop and get some belly rubs. She loves tall cat trees, looking out the window and playing with anything that moves. SHE-RA is named after a famed female comic book heroine due to her warrior spirit. Her favorite toys are her sister, balls and anything she can chase. These girls must be adopted together.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to humorist Dave Barry, “The method of learning Japanese recommended by experts is to be born as a Japanese baby and raised by a Japanese family, in Japan.” As you enter an intensely educational phase of your astrological cycle, I suggest you adopt a similar strategy toward learning new skills and mastering unfamiliar knowledge and absorbing fresh information. Immerse yourself in environments that will efficiently and effectively fill you with the teachings you need. A more casual, slapdash approach just won’t enable you to take thorough advantage of your current opportunities to expand your repertoire.
think that’s an observation worth considering. But I’ve also seen numerous exceptions to her rule. I know people who have eagerly welcomed grace into their lives even though they know that its arrival will change them forever. And amazingly, many of those people have experienced the resulting change as tonic and interesting, not primarily painful. In fact, I’ve come to believe that the act of eagerly welcoming changeinducing grace makes it more likely that the changes will be tonic and interesting. Everything I’ve just said will especially apply to you in the coming weeks.

505-753-8662 EspanolaHumane.org • petango.com/espanola Miss Pickles is a wonderful dog with so many good qualities to share with her family! She loves belly rubs, walks, (she is great on a leash), and car trips. Miss Pickles is house trained and doesn’t mind her crate or being left in a room while you’re out. Miss Pickles is the most loyal and dedicated dog you could ask for. She is nearly perfect but her one downfall is she does not like to share her family with other animals. Her previous owner passed away shortly after adopting her: now she is starting over again. If you are looking for a best friend, Miss Pickles is waiting for you.
Miss Pickles
Ivan is a 2 year old beautiful boy. Great on a leash and enjoys spending time with his people getting affection and snuggles, Ivan is quite smart and trainable. If trained properly would do great on a ranch, since he is eager to learn. He loves getting treats for being a good boy and doing as told. He has done well with other dogs but a meet and greet is always a positive thing. Running, playing, head scratches and belly rubs are his kind of day. Stop by today and meet Ivan!
