The children’s librarians have consistently been able to divine the exact book my son wants to read (even when the details he provides are thin), and as a result my son loves to go to the library. And when I mistakenly included one of my own books in the library drop box, the librarian noticed, saved it for me, and surprised me with it the next time I came in. That’s really above and beyond.

VOTERS ROUNDLY REJECT SODA TAX, CITING LACK OF CONFIDENCE AND SUPPORTERS’ MORALISTIC TONE

proposed 2-cents-perounce tax on sugary drinks distributed in Santa Fe left a sour taste in the mouths of voters as they rejected the plan by a wide margin. Unofficial vote totals announced by City Clerk Yolanda Vigil late Tuesday had 57 percent of votes against the tax and 43 percent in favor, as of press time. About 38 percent of eligible voters cast ballots. The vote followed eight weeks of bare-knuckled, divisive campaigning over a tax that would help 3- and 4-yearolds. The proposal would have used the estimated $7.7 million raised annually by the tax on beverage distributors to pay for seats in pre-kindergarten programs, both public and private, within the Santa Fe Public Schools district boundaries. Supporters said that money could have funded 966 new seats. Opponents of the tax, who complained bitterly about the moralistic tone of the election, amounted to a silent majority that found its voice late in the election. Election Day results showed huge margins against the tax at voting convenience centers on the Southside. Despite the fact that convenience centers allowed voters to cast a ballot anywhere, most chose to

vote close to home. On the north side, two of the busiest centers at Montezuma Lodge and St. John’s United Methodist Church broke for the tax, but their combined 545vote margin was nearly eclipsed by Kearny Elementary School’s results, which showed 211 in favor and 762 against. Early and absentee votes topped 8,000 and took all day for staff to count at City Hall, but margins at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center were similar to Election Day, with 64 percent of the 5,000 votes coming in against the tax. Many voters embraced the idea of expanded pre-kindergarten programs, but either had trouble with the proposed method of paying for them or balked at it altogether. “I think we need to get this early-childhood stuff going,” said Harry Bixby, who voted yes. “I’m not particularly fond of this way of doing it.” Outside a voting convenience center Tuesday, Jamie LaPan-Uhl called the tax “elitist” and voted against it. “It’s a no-confidence vote in the mayor and the city’s ability to do what they want to do with the money. I think there’s a better way to fund early education,” she said. Sporting a NFL jersey and white sunglasses, City Councilor Ron Trujillo held a sign on the street corner outside the Southside Branch Library voting convenience center—“Your Vote Matters: Vote No!” As the lone councilor to oppose the tax, he took some heat for his stance. Trujillo said this campaign felt different than the 2009 special election where voters rejected a real estate transfer tax on homes that sold for more than $750,000. “You didn’t see the divisiveness in the transfer tax like on this issue. It’s not good,” Trujillo said. He and other oppo-

nents of the tax felt supporters turned the election into a good-versus-evil narrative. “Why would you even say that, that this is immoral and it’s against kids?” Outside Sweeney Elementary, John and Anne Macker said they felt the contentiousness of the election came from the fact that it proposed a new tax, but one that would benefit children. “I think that early childhood education is essential. I don’t think the money’s gonna come from anywhere else at this point because the state’s finances are so
abysmal and controversial,” John Macker said. “I don’t think it’s going to penalize people who do indulge in pop and things like that. I don’t think it’s a law that does that, but they’ve publicized [that view] so much. They’ve made it almost a class issue, and it shouldn’t be.” Organizers on both sides of the issue disavowed the idea of a class struggle. “We just aren’t gonna know until later,” said Sandra Wechsler, the Santa Fe political strategist who spearheaded the pro-tax Pre-K for Santa Fe, as the after-work crowds hit polls. “But I can tell you from our side that we had a huge array of people and a lot of diversity working on our campaign, from working families to more affluent voters as well.” “I don’t think there’s a class divide,” said Better Way for Santa Fe and Pre-K’s David Huynh. “Do I think that working families and small businesses and employees of small businesses are going out en masse to oppose the tax? Yes. But do I also think other high-income people across the city are also opposing the tax? Yes.” Pre-K for Santa Fe issued a statement around 9:30 pm conceding the election, and Mayor Javier Gonzales followed suit. “No matter your point of view, I respect every voice that was raised and every vote that was cast in this election, and of course we honor the decision the people of Santa Fe have made. As a public official you can never go wrong listening to the voices of the people you serve,” he wrote. “Our commitment, my commitment, to Santa Fe’s children will only grow stronger moving forward.

Addressing a Household Crisis DA starts a slow shift in how prosecutors handle domestic violence cases by prioritize counseling even without convictions Meanwhile, Serna hopes to add a work-around that connects first- and second-time offenders to counseling without having to secure a conviction, borrowing a program from Albuquerque’s Metropolitan Court. “We don’t want to break up the home and what we see typically is, they’re gonna stay together, so if we can encourage them to stay together in a better family life with the counseling, that’s our main goal,” Serna says. “If we can keep the families together, stop the violence and get counseling where it needs to be done, I think that’s the most effective way to reduce domestic violence.”
BY ELIZABETH MILLER e l i z a b e t h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN
I
n the space of just 18 months, some names make repeat appearances on the long list of those charged with domestic violence in Santa Fe. An arrest in August 2015—with a previous case still stalled in the court system—is followed by another the following April. Charges are filed, but in the months while they creep through the justice system, tempers cool, people get back together, and, eventually, the couple fights again. And again, police are summoned. What lies beneath the violence often goes unchanged. The New Mexico Interpersonal Violence Data Central Repository found 86 percent of domestic violence cases filed in Santa Fe County Magistrate Court in 2015 were dismissed. Eighteen months ago, SFR published a story about the Santa Fe district attorney’s practice of pleading down or dismissing those cases, letting offenders go without punishment or new skills to keep it from happening again. When Jennifer Padgett took over as district attorney in early 2016—completing Angela “Spence” Pacheco’s term after her early retirement and before Marco Serna was elected to the position in November—she announced an intention to address the problem and recruit staff to better track those cases. A year later, the office finds itself short-staffed and convictions remain rare, though fewer have been negotiated down to disorderly conduct. The dismissal rate likely hasn’t changed much, Serna concedes, though he can’t say for sure. A system for tracking dispositions is still on the to-do list, right after working through the existing case load. But Serna, four months into his term as DA, says he’s shifting the way these cases are handled, copying a model he’s seen work elsewhere to reduce repeat offenses. Give it another three years, and that shift may show up in the statistics, he says. Three years.
Santa Fe District Attorney Marco Serna works to fast-track offenders to counseling.
The approach has shown positive signs in Albuquerque, though one Santa Fe advocate for domestic violence victims has some misgivings. As envisioned, Serna’s program would speed offenders from their initial court appearance into counseling programs for 26 or 52 weeks. In the meantime, charges would be deferred. Funding for staff and in-house counseling isn’t available yet, so the new DA is improvising: For cases that have come in since January, Serna has begun filing continuance motions while someone pursues counseling. “It’s our form of a diversion program until there’s funding,” he says. He hopes that defense attorneys will get on board and advise their clients that continuances and 26 weeks of counseling beat the risk of jail time. Serna has also encouraged his attorneys to take witnesses to preliminary hearings in an attempt to secure sworn testimony earlier in the process, before witnesses can decide to recant their statements to police. That directive went out in January, but none of Serna’s prosecutors has yet taken that route. An estimated one in three women in the state has experienced domestic violence. In New Mexico on a single day in 2013, domestic violence programs served 951 victims, according to the National Network to End Domestic Violence. A dismissal rate of around 70 or 80 percent fits with the national average, says Serna, who previously supervised domestic violence cases for the district attorney in Valencia County. As a crime that occurs behind closed doors, the crux often lies with securing testimony from one family member against another. That’s what stalls out some eight of 10 cases. Financial interdependence, family pressure and love are all contributors, Serna says. That’s why counseling is absolutely key, says Samari Rodriguez-Rios, nonresidential service manager at Esperanza Shelter for Battered Families. Change the
offender and you have a chance at denting the epidemic. But time with a professional must be properly focused and of the right duration. Support groups for offenders at Esperanza last 52 weeks, and Rodriguez-Rios cautions that instilling change takes the full year. How about 26 weeks? “I don’t think that’s enough,” she says. “They are in so much denial that they do need more time,” Rodriguez-Rios says. “They do need the time to recognize how their abuse has impacted their families.” When offenders first appear, they describe themselves as the victims—they didn’t do anything wrong, they’re just in this support group because the court ordered it. “It’s like an addict,” she says. “If they don’t admit they have a problem, then they’re not going to do anything about it and no change will be achieved. If he can’t say, ‘I hit her. I knocked her over,’ he will probably repeat it in another relationship or the same one.” Longstanding power dynamics in an abusive relationship can make it particularly difficult for survivors to stand in a courtroom and describe a history of violence, Rodriguez-Rios says. That’s why Esperanza staff are meeting with district court judges and family court services to increase understanding of what to expect from a survivor. Beyond the obvious barriers, testimony might be disjointed or change from one telling to the next as a result of trauma. So the option to take a less punitive approach to these cases in favor of focusing on the mental health of the perpetrators might be a good way to circumvent that system. But Rodriguez-Rios cautions against the approach of prioritizing the preservation of families. “The philosophy of keeping the families together I think sometimes makes for more harm than good,” she says. “They should look at it from a safety perspective. … Especially when lethality risk is high, and safety is low, how is keeping the family together a good thing?”

Almost Flunking
Where CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center does not reflect recent changes; he claims, Scored low
After scoring a D, Christus St. Vincent calls hospital watchdog survey on which it was graded “poorly validated”
Clabsi infection
Pressure Ulcer
BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
P
“
atient 11” entered Christus St. Vincent in June 2015 with a fractured hip; she exited the facility less than two weeks later with a fractured hip, a respiratory infection, a urinary tract infection, an ulcer on her buttocks and Clostridium difficile, or C diff, a bacterium that infects the intestines and induces severe diarrhea in its victims, according to a complaint registered with the New Mexico Department of Health that fall. After she was transferred to two other undisclosed medical facilities, she also developed a blood infection. By Aug. 1, she was dead. An autopsy report listed contraction of C diff as a contributing cause of death. Patient 11 was one of three St. Vincent patients whom the DOH reported to have contracted C diff infections through physical contact with hospital facilities that year. The hardy spore-producing bacterium, often spread via errant fecal matter, isn’t uncommon in hospitals, and older patients like Patient 11 are especially susceptible if they’re also taking antibiotics. St. Vincent says they’ve made serious efforts to improve over the last two years. The hospital has created a program to train staff on how to prevent various infections and has purchased a pricey UV light machine to eradicate pathogenic molecules in an infected room.
In spite of these efforts, St. Vincent still has a poor street reputation. Walk into any bar and mention the hospital’s name, as this reporter did, and somebody is bound to tell you about their aunt’s horror story as a patient at “St. Victims.” Improvements have been slow to come, says St. Vincent Regional Chief Medical Officer John Beeson, because it wasn’t until the hospital’s 2008 partnership with the Texas-based Christus network that it had access to better IT systems and management expertise, among other things. “This hospital is not the hospital it was 10 years ago or even five years ago or even three years ago,” Beeson tells SFR. “It now has more resources and more depth. … It’s night and day to what it used to be.” Nevertheless, the rate of C diff contraction at St. Vincent is close to twice the national average, according to a recent grade report from the Leapfrog Group, a hospital watchdog group that represents large purchasers of health care plans. Leapfrog also found that rates of bloodstream infections from contaminated central-line catheters (CLABSI infections) and colon infections at St. Vincent were relatively high, as were “foreign object retained after surgery,” pressure ulcers (bed sores) and patient falls. The latter two were the subjects of a Department of Health report from 2013 that dinged St. Vincent for not following

proper documentation procedures. Based on these and other measures, Leapfrog gave St. Vincent an overall score of a D, placing it among the bottom 7 percent of the 2,639 hospitals the group graded in spring 2017. There has been a proliferation of similar scoring systems in recent years, and because they use various methodologies to crunch different data into easily comprehensible scores, their validity is fiercely contested by poorly rated hospitals. The in-house survey on which Leapfrog partially bases its grades is “the least-validated survey of all the ones that are out there,” St. Vincent’s Beeson tells SFR. He also says the grade report (which is different from the survey) uses older data that

for example, that infection rates at the hospital are “way down” from what they were in 2015. But Leapfrog bases its scores for infection rates on federal data from early 2015 to mid-2016 as well as its own survey, and Beeson did not present SFR with evidence to prove rates of infection were declining. However, it is true that Leapfrog’s assessment of other hospital-induced ailments, including ulcers and falls, comes from federal data that only spans from 2013 through the middle of 2015. Some of the fresher information factored into St. Vincent’s D score rated the hospital’s communication with patients. It scored a 2 out of 5 for nurse and doctor communication, and got the same score for tracking and accounting for patients’ medication records. Karen Curtiss, a wellknown advocate who publishes checklists on hospital care for patients and their families, says that hospital staff members often don’t realize how incomprehensible they can sound to patients who aren’t versed in medical terminology. “They not only have their own terminology, but also their own shorthand way of speaking,” Curtiss tells SFR. “And often, doctors and nurses are pressed for time. When you’ve got five or 10 minutes to spend with a patient, and you have to express yourself quickly, who wouldn’t fall back on vocabulary they use every day?” Poor communication is part of the “cumulative conduct” for which former patient Regina Reid is now suing St. Vincent. Through her attorneys, Reid filed a complaint against the hospital last month for medical negligence and failure to obtain informed consent after a 2015 visit for chest pains and shortness of breath caused by hypotension (low blood pressure). One of her attorneys, Stephen Marshall, says that Reid suffered a severe stroke after a doctor at St. Vincent drained a “drug pump” embedded near her hip without consulting Reid’s pain specialist. The pump supplied Reid’s body with dependence-forming opioids that the medical staff should have handled more cautiously, Marshall says. Reid suffered permanent vision damage as a result of the stroke. These are the kinds of anecdotes that wouldn’t sit well with St. Vincent’s Beeson, who acknowledges that it will take years of improvement before public perception of the hospital changes. But the stakes are rising fast now that Presbyterian Healthcare Services—whose nearest hospital in Albuquerque scored a C on Leapfrog’s safety grade report—is building a new $135 million hospital in Santa Fe to compete with St. Vincent, which was the only game in town for over a century.

Photographs prove Frida Kahlo was her own muse BY MARIA EGOLF-ROMERO m a r i a @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
“Feet what do I want them for if I have wings to fly.”
I
- from a drawing in her sketchbook, 1953
n only 47 years of life, Frida Kahlo made an everlasting mark on the world as a painter, an icon of individuality and a symbol of feminism, exoticism, self-love and suffering. The immortal Kahlo phenomenon is her true masterpiece, however, and in the upcoming exhibit, Mirror, Mirror, at the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, viewers can glimpse rarely seen photographs of her spanning 29 years. Most of the 50-plus photographs are part of the collection of Spencer Throckmorton, a former Santa Fean and current New York gallery owner who gathered images of Kahlo from shooters like Manuel and Lola Alvarez Bravo, Imogen Cunningham, Carl Van Vechten and Nickolas Muray. “I think she’s one of the most interesting women of the 20th century,” Throckmorton tells SFR. “She realized her importance in art for women, she was very much a feminist and also ahead of her time.” While he couldn’t collect Kahlo’s own work because of their high market value, he amassed the photos as a passion project. Curator Penelope Hunter-Stiebel says the exhibit tells Kahlo’s story in captured moments, and that this is the first time she’s curated a show featuring photographs of an artist, as opposed to the work of the artist. “Why are photographs of Frida worth an exhibition?” she asks. “For me, that was the first question.”
“Frida Looking into the Mirror” by Lola Alvarez Bravo shows Kahlo in the garden at her family home in Mexico City, Casa Azul. 14

Nickolas Muray was a portrait photographer and one of Kahlo’s longest affairs. He took this image of her titled “Frida Kahlo on White Bench, New York” in 1939.
“The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint always whatever passes through my head, without any other consideration.” -in response to talk about her works being surrealist, circa 1950
Kahlo didn’t simply create and inspire— she existed as a living, breathing embodiment of art. The intensity of her influence pollinated the awakening modern art and literary scenes to such a degree, her name was whispered in art circles around the world as Frida Kahlo became someone everyone wanted to know. She spent time with Picasso and flirted with Georgia O’Keeffe; she knew Pablo Neruda and André Benton; she became the love and wife of cubist-turned-muralist Diego Rivera, whom Hunter-Stiebel calls “one of the greatest painters in the history of art.” The gravity of this collection of images hit Hunter-Stiebel after she spent time examining postage-stamp-sized samples from Throckmorton. “It was photographs from all different times in her life and sort of helter-skelter,” she says, “But the more I looked at it, I thought, ‘This is how we can bring people closer to Frida.’” Mirror, Mirror is installed throughout the Museum of Spanish Colonial Arts’ multi-room space on Museum Hill in storybook succession, allowing patrons to effectively walk through Kahlo’s life. Each image is accompanied by a short description by Hunter-Stiebel that sets the scene
and provides context about what was happening in Kahlo’s life at the time. From early images shot by her father to those captured by friends and photographers, as well as images the artist had pasted on her headboard (made famous in the 2002 movie Frida, starring Salma Hayek), the pictoral timeline showcases the evolution of an artist and activist grappling with her own identity. HunterStiebel says Kahlo’s development depended on these photographers. “She used herself as the main subject in her paintings, but she developed that image of herself through photography,” she says. “We know she surrounded herself with mirrors wherever she lived; she’s constantly looking at herself, but where she really sees herself is through the photographer’s lens.”
“If you knew how terrible it is to know suddenly, as if a bolt of lightning elucidated the earth. Now I live in a painful planet, transparent as ice.” - in a letter to her high school lover Alejandro Gómez Arias, 1926
Today, Kahlo is known as the heroine of pain in Mexico. She was plagued by her intense love for Rivera, who was a notorious womanizer, even having an affair with Kahlo’s sister Cristina. And though Frida CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

was also unfaithful, she felt as though she loved Rivera more than he loved her. Biographers say she was stricken with polio in her childhood, leaving her right leg limp. Then, in 1925, at age 18, she nearly died in a bus accident in the Coyoacán district of Mexico City. That day, she rode the bus with a painter who carried a bag of gold flakes. When the commotion from the collision died down, Kahlo lay naked—the force of the crash having torn her clothing from her body—broken and bloodied, gold flakes dancing in the air and sticking to her frail frame. The damage caused her pain for the rest of her life, both physically and emotionally. She broke her pelvis and spinal column in multiple places, as well as her
collarbone and ribs and her right leg, already weakened by polio, was shattered. The bus’s handrail pierced Kahlo above her right hip and exited her vagina. Her devoutly Catholic mother visited her in the hospital only twice. “She takes on this suffering and uses it through her art,” says Hunter-Steibel. During her recovery, she painted butterflies on her body casts and experimented with images of her own likeness on canvas using mirrors, including one built into the underside of her bed’s canopy. Even as she lay trapped in painful recovery, roped and rigged in strenuous poses doctors hoped would align and heal her spine, Kahlo was forging her own metamorphosis.
“Everything without you seems horrible to me. I am in love with you more than ever and at each moment more and more.” - in a letter to Diego Rivera, September 10, 1932
Kahlo healed and painted, and when she could walk again, she chased after the most famous artist she knew: Diego Rivera. Kahlo met the man long after he’d risen to fame, most say at the party of a mutual friend about a year after the accident. But when either retold the story of the day they met, they cited the time Kahlo tracked Rivera to his worksite with an armful of paintings, screaming at him
to come down from a scaffold from which he was painting and evaluate her work. Kahlo had first seen the modern muralist years earlier as he painted at the National Preparatory School where she attended middle school in Mexico City. It’s said she became obsessed with him right then. Rivera fell in love with the magic realism found in Kahlo’s pieces—and with the artist herself. He visited her every Sunday at Casa Azul, and they married (for the first time) in 1929, when she was just 22 and Rivera was 43. “Diego always said that he considered her art more important than his,” says Throckmorton. “[Cosmetics mogul and art collector] Helena Rubinstein came to Mexico to buy Diego’s work, and Diego told her to buy Frida.” Kahlo paints details that reveal her pain: Fetuses because she couldn’t have a baby, her spine as a cracked Roman column, or her long locks lying on the floor, shorn after she left Rivera. Her honesty is certainly part of what makes her an everlasting icon, and her work seems to say, “I am suffering, and you have to watch.” The exiled (and later assassinated) Russian philosopher Leon Trotsky, who had a passionate and brief affair with Kahlo in 1937, is rumored to have said he was enthralled by Kahlo’s paintings because they laid bare a universal fear: We are alone in pain.
“I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.” - in a letter to her friend Ella Wolfe, 1938

sionless in her mouth and her heavy brow rests, not furrowed or raised, she’s not hiding or keeping secrets. In the earliest image in the exhibit, Kahlo is 18 years old and already working that stare. “No one poses like that,” says Hunter-Stiebel. Throckmorton’s collection shows that Kahlo walked through life looking like she had stepped from one of her own paintings. Her gaze and heavily embroidered tehuana traje costumes reveal parts of her story, just as small components in her works reveal specific causes of her pain. She appreciated symbolism and exhibited sympathy with the tide of growing Mexican pride. Even her self-portraits follow the style of traditional Mexican retablos. Kahlo often said she was a better communist than her notoriously political husband. To her, the movement was based in empowering the working class and the people. She had seen the Mexican Revolution overthrow the stagnant, patronizing Porfirio Diaz in 1911 and with him, his efforts to Europeanize the country. Kahlo and other sophisticated women in Mexico adopted traditional and Indigenous garb as a show of solidarity. “They wanted to express their sympathy with the movement,” says Hunter-Stiebel. “She does it in spades and she does it longer and better than everybody else.” Barbara Cleaver, a Mexican Indigenous textile expert, advised in the identification of Kahlo’s clothing for Mirror, Mirror. She says other women in Mexico were wearing traditional pieces around the time Kahlo did, but her style was notable. “Of course, what made it work so well was her artist’s eye,” Cleaver says. “During that time there was this great wave of ‘Mexicanismo,’ this great love and identification with Indigenous culture in Mexico. You see it in Diego murals.”
Kahlo and Rivera were known for keeping a menagerie of animals around their home, like xoloitzcuintli (hairless dogs), monkeys and the deer pictured in this image by Nickolas Muray, “Frida with Granizo.”

And you see it in Frida’s wardrobe. “Frida was an artist married to a famous artist, and she wore it best—she had incredible taste, and an incredible eye,” Cleaver tells SFR. “It’s very clear that she was always very individualistic and brilliant. She was an intellectual, and she crafted her persona—and her persona was, first and foremost, Mexican.”
“I paint myself because I am so often alone, because I am the subject I know best.” - after the bus accident when Kahlo first began to paint, circa 1926
Kahlo’s father was a photographer, and she spent hours alongside him in his darkroom. It’s conceivable that her comfort with photographers and developing her own image through others’ lenses grew from her close relationship with photography via her father. As she evolved, she welcomed the friendships, affections and lenses of many photographers, some of whom later became superstars in their own right. The photographs in Mirror, Mirror are evidence of Kahlo’s intentional image-building. As time progresses, she begins to appear more and more like the iconized version of herself. Many show her in folds of floral textiles with her midnight-black braids piled on top of her head, the silk ribbons flowing through them made familiar in her self-portraits. Each interpretation shows a consistent thread in the photographers’ interest in Kahlo. “She’s watching them,” Hunter-Stiebel says, “and she’s developing that in her own work—the image of self.” In 1933, Kahlo was photographed by Carl Van Vechten, a champion of the Harlem Renaissance and a friend of Gertrude Stein. Van Vechten had shifted to photography following a music critic position with the New York Times, and when he shot “Frida with a Michoacán Gourd On Head,” she was beginning to come into her own. “She’s picking up the imagery of rural Mexican women,” Hunter-Stiebel says. “This idea of carrying a pot on your head and using it with the jade necklace and the embroidered blouse.” “Frida Kahlo on White Bench, New York,” by Kahlo’s longtime lover and portrait photographer Nickolas Muray, was taken in 1939. It was featured 73 years later on the cover of Vogue México in 2012. Muray is known for having said he always wanted to record human nature and present the best in people through his photographs. From the flowers in her hair to the sly Mona Lisa smile on Kahlo’s face, it seems he succeeded here, at least in capturing the essence of her public persona.
“I love you more than my own skin, and though you may not love me in the same way, still you love me somewhat. Isn’t that so? ” - in a letter to Rivera, July 23, 1935
The majority of the images found in Throckmorton’s collection are black and white, but one room is dedicated to color. It contains a series of images taken at Kahlo’s family home in Mexico City known as Casa Azul, by Santa Fe photographer William Frej. (The house is now the Museo Frida Kahlo.) This photo essay on Casa Azul works in juxtaposition to the gray tones in the rest of the exhibit, adding life and modernity to the show. Frej tells SFR he tends to stick to black-and-white in his own work, but Mexico and Casa Azul in particular have always made him reach for color film. “In three different visits over the past two years, I’ve been really struck by the color that that house embodies,” he says. “I’ve tried to reflect that in the photography.” Frej says Casa Azul’s deep cerulean exterior mirrors its equally vibrant interior, gorgeously offsetting a bright yellow kitchen and a garden planted by Kahlo. Her lifelong home, which she shared with Rivera at times, became the breeding ground for her work. “Years of very important artists and photographers came and visited her in her own environment,” Frej says, speaking to the importance of sacred art space. One photo in particular made Frej feel Kahlo’s presence in Casa Azul. He took the shot in her studio, which still holds her wheelchair and paints. “The light was right, because it reflected the blue exterior back into her studio,” he says. “As she was painting over the years in that wheelchair, I’m sure that color really resonated with her.”
“I wish to be worthy, with my painting, of the people to whom I belong and to the ideas that strengthen me.” - in a letter to her friend Antonio Rodríguez, 1952
Kahlo did her share of conquering as well. “She establishes herself as a person and as an artist separate from [Rivera], but always together with him, which is, through feminism, what we’ve all been struggling through: ‘How you do that?’” Hunter-Stiebel says. “And she did it. We’ve got the visual evidence of her doing it.” Kahlo attended her first solo show in her native country at Mexico City’s Gallery of Contemporary Art in April 1953, just a year before her death, though no

one expected her. Her health had severely deteriorated. The years of stashing flasks in her petticoats and smoking plentifully were catching up with her, as well as an addiction to morphine fueled by ailments and endless medical procedures. But Kahlo wasn’t missing this show. She entered, dressed in her favorite fully embroidered ensemble, carried on a stretcher to her four-poster bed, which had been installed in the gallery that afternoon, complete with the photographs she cherished and the canopy mirror. People gathered around her and sang Mexican celebration songs. Kahlo drank tequila. Hunter-Stiebel hopes viewers leave Mirror, Mirror feeling closer to the enigma that is Frida Kahlo. “You will see it in the photographs how she emerges as an independent person, never abandoning the passion she had for her husband,” she says. “But she emerges from his dominance. By the end of it, it’s Frida and Diego. She’s become the dominant one.” The fable of Frida Kahlo becomes more interesting with every uncovered detail. Her connections spread through the most
interesting and influential social circles of her time, and she triumphed over her own tragedies. Delve into the bible of Kahlo by Hayden Herrera, Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo, on which we relied for much of this story’s Kahlo quotes and biographical information. Before it hit Museum Hill, parts and the whole of Throckmorton’s collection had traveled to places like the National Portrait Gallery in London and mirrors the collection of images that belonged to Kahlo herself. “Frida kept a collection that was given to Diego,” Throckmorton says. “Her collection of photographs paralleled my collection—these are the photographs Frida also felt were very important.”

MARLON JAMES with
RUSSELL BANKS
WEDNESDAY 10 MAY AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Marlon James’s A Brief History of Seven Killings won the 2015 Man Booker Prize for Fiction, making him the first Jamaican writer to receive the UK’s most prestigious literary award. The book presents an untold history of Jamaica in the 1970s, relayed through multiple narrators, with the climax centering on an attempted assassination of reggae legend Bob Marley. Describing the book for the New York Times, Michiko Kakutani wrote, “It’s like a Tarantino remake of ‘The Harder They Come’ but with a soundtrack by Bob Marley and a script by Oliver Stone and William Faulkner, with maybe a little creative boost from some primo ganja.” James’s other novels include John Crow’s Devil, the story of a biblical struggle in a remote village in Jamaica in the 1950s, and The Book of Night Women, about a slave revolt on a Jamaican plantation in the early nineteenth century. James’s poignant essay on his experience of coming out, “From Jamaica to Minnesota to Myself,” appeared in the New York Times Magazine in March 2015. James lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and teaches English and creative writing at Macalester College.
Russell Banks’s works include the novels Continental Drift, Cloudsplitter, and The Darling, as well as the story collection The Angel on the Roof. His The Sweet Hereafter and Affliction were adapted into celebrated feature films. His most recent book is a memoir, Voyager: Travel Writings (2016), in which he writes, “Since childhood, I’ve longed for escape, for rejuvenation, for wealth untold, for erotic and narcotic and sybaritic fresh starts, for high romance, mystery, and intrigue.”

Cinco Your Teeth In A whole day of Cinco de Mayo action If you’re like us and constantly think about the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the 1862 Battle of Puebla, then you’ll be delightfully surprised to learn there’s what basically amounts to a drinking holiday attached to May 5. Who knew, right? Anyway, all y’all can come out swingin’ at this year’s festivities in any number of ways, but might we suggest the following: Mobile artspace Axle drops anchor at Artisan (2601 Cerrillos Road, 954-4179) at 11 am and transforms into a drawing studio. Participants are encouraged to create pieces for inclusion in Axle’s upcoming coloring book written by five local authors. No drinking per se, but the satisfaction of helping to create something is all too real. Inn of the Anasazi (113 Washington Ave., 988-3030) reopens their patio area for the season from 2-11 pm to coincide with the holiday, and we hear there will be $5 off signature margaritas. In similar re-opening news, Santa Fe Spirits Distillery (7505 Mallard Way, 467-8892) celebrates their newly remodeled space—and, of course, extra barrel storage—with a gathering at 5:30 pm. Their whiskey is next-level. Funk act Stella visits the original Second Street Brewery (1814 Second St., 982-
3030) to funk everyone up among the beers at 6 pm. A mere two hours later at 8 pm, a new Santana tribute act called Smooth takes over the Cowgirl (319 S Guadalupe St., 982-2565), and you just haven’t lived until you’ve mixed strawberry margaritas with the totally-not-way-too-long “Black Magic Woman.” Of course, the hipper denizens of Santa Fe probably already know that Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance is slated to slay Meow Wolf (1352 Rufina Circle, 395-6369. $15-$18) with his new band, The Patience, at the exact same time, but we don’t see a lot of crossover there anyway (something about a black parade and how nobody’s father ever took them to the city to specifically see a marching band). And finally, R&B band Big K and Blue Train leverages your love of bluesy tunes, Motown and boning at the The Palace (142 E Palace Ave., 428-0690) with soulful jams and, as we know all too well, a full menu of fancy-ass drinks best referred to as “dranks.” (Alex De Vore) CINCO DE MAYO Friday May 5.

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
f you’ve been kickin’ around Facebook lately (and who hasn’t?) you’ve probably already grown weary of people’s fun little “Here are 10 shows I’ve seen only one of them is a show I totally didn’t see! Haha, I’m cute!” lists. Personally, I think it’s kind of funny when the hive mind engages and everyone takes part in freaky groupthink activities, especially when it boils down to semi-braggy lists that may as well say “I’m cool and that DJ there’s no way anyone
has ever heard of I saw live proves it!” But I’m also a part of the natural universe now and decided to cook up my own little Top 10 list of things to be psyched on in Santa Fe right now … and one of them is a lie. Can you guess which one?
10
Eliza Lutz—who we talk about a fair amount because she’s doing all kinds of great things—is moving into the Ghost space down there by Siler Road (2889 Trades West Road). If anyone can jumpstart the already awesome DIY venue, it’s her. Matron Records is having a housewarming party there (8 pm Friday
Metal maestro Chris Riggins has taken to hosting open mic events at Warehouse 21 (1614 Paseo de Peralta, 989-4423) every other Tuesday—and he’s put together a full band for backup. Think of it like a jam meets karaoke meets open mic meets what the hell else do you have going on?
6
Speaking of Warehouse 21, they totally have rented space to youth church, HOPE UC, but we applaud W21 for finding a way to keep their doors open and have to wonder why this is such an unthinkable atrocity to some people in the community. Like, what were they supposed to do? Just close? Get the fuck outta here. Move on and be glad they worked out how to stay open for the teens of Santa Fe.
5
Wavves is coming to Skylight (139 W San Francisco St., 982-0775) on May 30 (8 pm. $18). This is not only cool because of the beleaguered club’s commitment to keep on keeping on in the face of changes and adversity and whatever, but because Wavves’ 2010 album King of
the Beach slays so hard it’s insane. Might we also recommend checking out the jams “Demon to Lean On” and “Nine Is God”?
4
I’m gonna stop writing about music. (Just kidding. This is the lie. You’re stuck with me. Forever. Your band sucks. I’ll bury you!)
3
By all accounts, The Kitchen Sink Recording Studio (529 Jose St., 699-4323) is kicking up their commitment to hosting live shows. Co-owner Tim Schmoyer told us in an offhand way that they’re looking into improving the already-stellar sound equipment, too. Y’all should record a live album there. Frogville Studios has also been doing s’more live shows/recordings of late and that place is stone-cold-beautiful. We hope they also start doing more.
2
My detractors who have asked me if I ever write about classical music should check out my story called “Chamber-Made” from July of last year (the 27, to be precise). Admittedly it’s been a while, but that thing won second place in this year’s Top of the Rockies Excellence in Journalism Awards, so it looks like maybe not picking up the totally free paper that’s easily accessible and that you’re probably only a hundred yards or so away from one even right this second is the problem? Also, I’m still relatively young and prefer rock and punk and stuff. Sawwwwwy. We’ll talk when I’m, like, 50.
1
Nothing will ever bring Prince back no matter how hard we will it so, but the August 20 Maceo Parker show at The Bridge (37 Fire Place, 557-6182) comes kinda close. Parker sax-o-ma-phoned for Prince for years, not to mention James Brown and Parliament Funkadelic, and is just one of those timeless badasses.

Parker Laughlin Jennings narrows things down in new solo exhibition
BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart
P
arker Laughlin Jennings is a carpenter by trade, and he’s worked as a set builder at the Santa Fe Opera for a little over four years. “Most carpenters make this clear delineation between being an artist and being a craftsman,” Jennings says. “I’m the opposite. I consider myself an artist first who has found a craft to survive.” Still, his occupation has informed his art practice in many ways. For his upcoming solo show at Downtown Subscription, Opposing Forces, he presents wall sculptures made from steel and panels of dense fiberboard that look like flatter versions of the structures he’s currently building for the opera stage. “At the opera, I’m fabricating these steel frames that are often at 90 degree angles,” says Jennings. “In that state, they’re like abstract sculptures. The heartbreaking part for me is skinning them with plywood, because you lose the beautiful skeleton of it.” Over the past few years, his art practice has involved relentlessly stripping back to core aesthetics and ideas. “I have a fulltime job, I’ve got two kids, I have so much going on,” Jennings says. “In some ways, my life has forced me to edit, to get to the meat of it.” Sometimes the simplest answer to a question is the most unexpected.
Jennings grew up in Santa Fe and attended Capital High School, where he fell in with a set of “really serious graffiti artists.” He was aware of the city’s fine art scene, but felt excluded by it. “I would walk up Canyon Road and feel nothing,” Jennings tells SFR. “Then I’d walk down the tunnel under the Villa Linda Mall, and I would feel inspired.” When the local graffiti crews started getting violent and destructive, he pulled back and looked for ways to channel his creative energy into other art forms. In art school at University of New Mexico, he created tiny sculptures of human skulls with Mickey Mouse ears and discreetly installed them around Albuquerque and Santa Fe. “Hearing the term ‘street art’ for the first time and seeing some of the work that was coming out made me reinvestigate what I could do,” he says. Jennings was also experimenting with painting and performance art at the time. With a few other students, he transformed a tricycle into a rolling radio station and conducted street interviews with everyday Burqueños. He and his partner Micayla Duran were in their early 20s when they had their first son. By the time they graduated and embarked on a yearlong adventure to China to teach English, they had
Artist-turned-craftsman-turned-artist Parker Laughlin Jennings continues his never-ending arts quest.
two sons, 1 and 4. In China, Jennings and Duran created a website to promote their work. “I started researching the line, the circle and the dot,” says Jennings. “There are so many writings, in mathematics and design and visual arts and spirituality, that talk about these elements.” He came to understand the dot as the origin of an idea, the line as an action, and the circle as the moment when the task is completed and knowledge is gleaned. The couple claimed the domain linecircledot.com, and Jennings started a new body of work that explored the concept. “I was making these small acrylic paintings with geometric forms, and painting images over them,” Jennings says. “The thing I most enjoyed about the series was this patterning in the background.” He became fascinated with the history of the pattern in art and craft. Piet Mondrian and his contemporaries in the De Stijl movement were early influences, and then he discovered the work of contemporary postminimal Mississippi artist Valerie Jaudon. “Inspired by Eva Hesse, she reclaimed these feminine materials and arts and asserted them as high art,” he says of
Jaudon. As an artist with many craft-based skills, he felt a kinship. Jennings and Duran returned to New Mexico in late 2012, with big plans for their next steps. They began constructing a geodesic dome on a plot of land near Peñasco, and hoped to live there off the grid. Just as they were laying the foundations of their home and building the frame of an adobe outhouse, they hit a snag. “Our son had been to a couple different public schools up there, and it wasn’t working for him,” Jennings says. “His fire was dying.” The family ended up back in Santa Fe, and their kids are now happily enrolled at the Santa Fe Waldorf School. “Living out there was supposed to simplify things,” Jennings says of Peñasco, “but sometimes the real way to simplify is the opposite of what you’re expecting.” He took that wisdom to heart in his art practice, zeroing in on the geometric patterns he’d been incorporating into his paintings. He used a flush trim router to cut the interlocking shapes into boards, subtracting the patterns into existence. The series debuted at David Richard Gallery during last fall’s Santa Fe Art Project exhibition program, along with paintings that employed the same motif. Opposing Forces represents another evolutionary leap for Jennings, as he boils the compositions down to their skeletal outlines and creates mirrored patterns. “I’ve experimented with so many different styles, but this is the first time I’ve found a particular motif that has interested me enough to keep reinvestigating and exploring,” he says. “It’s that continual quest to figure out that primal urge in me to make work.” OPPOSING FORCES OPENING RECEPTION 4 pm Saturday May 6.

Why not? My girlfriend and I are pretty grossly in love and very affectionate, especially after we’ve just had sex. Should we make an effort to tone it down a bit around a third we’ve just fucked around with? Or should we just be ourselves, and if they don’t like it, oh well? Nancy, the tech-savvy at-risk youth, two gimps, Christ on the cross, the Easter Bunny, two weeping women, and the Easter Bunny’s smoking-hot leather master took to the stage at Revolution Hall in Portland, Oregon, for a live taping of the Savage Lovecast on Easter weekend. Audience members submitted their questions on cards (I take my questions like some of you take your men: anonymously)—but with Rachel Lark and the Damaged Goods and comedian Nariko Ott on the program as well, we didn’t get to many questions. So I’m going to answer as many of Portland’s questions as I can in this week’s column. We’ve been sleeping with another couple for three months (first time my BF and I opened our relationship). How do I suggest full penetration with the opposite partner? At this point, we just do oral and that’s the “groove” we’re in. Only-oral-with-others may be this couple’s preferred groove and the lane they want to stay in. If they’re only up for the “soft swap,” as it’s known in swinging circles, penetration isn’t gonna happen. But you should feel free to ask for what you want—at the very least, you’ll get some long-overdue clarity about their boundaries. Is squirting pee? We know that chemically it’s similar, but is it REALLY? I’m tired of this debate, so consider this my final answer: So what if it is pee? My girlfriend asked me to make out with another guy. Her fantasy. We met a really pretty gay boy at a house party a year ago, and so I made out with him. I got hard, and my girlfriend made a huge scene. She says it was supposed to be for her pleasure, not for mine, and she’s still angry six months later and constantly questions whether I’m really straight. (I am!) What do I tell her? Good-bye. When do you know if it’s okay to insert your finger in your boyfriend’s butthole? Without fear of freaking him out? After you’ve applied lube to your finger and his butthole—which you’re allowed to do only after you’ve asked him if you can insert your finger in his butthole and after he’s consented to having your finger in his butthole. I want to try anal, but I am scared of getting poop on my partner. Is an enema enough? Properly administered, an enema should be more than enough. But with anal as with liberal democracy—a good outcome is not guaranteed. Sometimes you do your homework and your prep, and everything still comes to shit. I love my man, but we’re both tops. What should we do? Spit-roast very special guest stars if you’re in an open relationship, take turns/one for the team if you’re in a monogamous relationship, explore and enjoy your non-butt-penetrative options. How do we play around with opening up our relationship as parents of a 1-year-old? We barely have enough time or enough sleep to keep our own relationship juicy. Play around in theory for now—lots of dirty talk—and put theory into practice after your kid is a toddler and you’ve landed a reliable babysitter. Will you plug stoptrumpswall.org?

Be yourselves—but make an effort to include your third in those oxytocin-infused displays of postcoital affection. Unless your third was inconsiderate or creepy during the sex, or is anxious to go immediately after the sex (a sign you may have been inconsiderate or creepy), your third helped get you to that blissed-out state and deserves to bask a bit in the afterglow too. Does the toe make a good substitute for the penis? No. I have large breasts. My partners are either like, “YAY BOOOOBS!” or they ignore my breasts entirely. What is it with that? How do I get people to interact with my breasts like they’re another nice body part and not a bizarre thing? By using your words. If there was a way you didn’t like to be kissed, presumably you would speak up rather than endure lousy kisses. Same applies here: “I have big boobs, and they’re great, and I love them—but ‘YAY BOOOOBS!’ makes me feel like I’m only my tits, which isn’t a nice feeling. That said, I don’t want my boobs ignored, either. The sweet spot really isn’t that hard to hit—enjoy my boobs like you would any other nice body part.” That said, some people really, really like big boobs and it’s going to be hard for them to contain their excitement. “YAY BOOOOBS” could be an understandable and forgivable first reaction on their part and an opening that allows you to have a conversation about bodies, consideration, and consent. My girlfriend wants to try fisting, but my hands are really large. Any ideas for how to get around that? A hired hand. Tell my boyfriend to go down on me! If your boyfriend won’t go down on you unless some fag advice columnist tells him to—if his girlfriend asking isn’t good enough—then it’s you I want to order around (break up with him!), not your boyfriend. My boyfriend is 10 years older than me. Also, he’s the first boyfriend I’ve had in 10 years. I’m used to being single—and while he is great (sexy, amazing, smart), I feel like I’m losing parts of myself. I’m not doing the stuff my prior loneliness made it easy for me to do, creative stuff like open-mic nights. Do we break up? You’re no longer lonely—you’ve got a boyfriend now—but you still need time alone. Even if you live together, you don’t have to spend every waking/non-work hour with your boyfriend—it’s not healthy to spend every waking/non-work hour with your significant other. But instead of heading to open-mic night because you’re lonely and bored and have nothing else to do, now you’re going to go to that open-mic night (and go alone) because you enjoy it, you need the creative outlet, and it’s healthy for a couple to have time apart. Thank you, Dan. Five years ago, I was miserable in a sexless marriage. Tonight I’m here with my fabulous boyfriend and my hot sub. Thanks to your advice! You’re welcome!

COURTESY JEAN COCTEAU CINEMA
Filmmaker Glenn Silber presents his 1979 documentary The War at Home at the Jean Cocteau Cinema this weekend, its first theatrical run in over 30 years! Telling the harrowing tale of American protesters who stood up against the Vietnam War, the documentary was nominated for an Academy Award upon release and, according to Silber, is just as relevant today. He’ll also appear at screenings this weekend to answer questions. We had a few of our own. (Alex De Vore) Why release this again now? It’s funny—The War at Home was the story of my youth. It was my first effort to try and do a feature documentary, but I think it could have been made today. I think we’re right on time. I was inspired by the Santa Fe Women’s March; I think The War at Home can speak to what it really means to resist when a president goes off the rails. It’s a really good time to put out the story of the anti-war movement. I think a lot of people are concerned, fearful almost, that we’ll wind up with some kind of foreign policy disaster. There’s an insiring story of how people can work together to make a difference. When you were making the film, did you have an audience in mind? Yes. In my 20s, we had just lived through this incredibly dramatic 10-year period in Madison, Wisconsin, and I felt it was important to show a story of this dramatic period and to try and stop the slaughter of American GIs and millions of Vietnamese. I was reaching out to what I called the ‘floating base of the anti-war movement’ so we wouldn’t forget this trial by fire we all went through. Do you hope it will inspire younger generations? My message, I guess, is how we built and made a difference in helping during the war. We’re in a situation where people can look at that experience and hopefully feel it’s the foundational experience that can get us going with the current president.

THEATER
ACTING OUT Accessible Interpretations 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
Pandemonium Productions is aptly named. At rehearsal, barefoot, blue-haired, fedora-wearing, chatty, stompy, hyper kids are everywhere. Onstage, a few dozen ensemble members mill around behind four or five taller teenagers who are playing the main roles. Everyone is bouncing off the walls. It’s nearing the end of the rehearsal, and a woman I know sits down next to me. Her son is in this production of Madagascar, which tells the story of escaped zoo animals trying to get from New York City to Africa, and she sees my overwhelmed expression. “Have you ever seen one of their plays before?” she asks. I shake my head. “You should come. You’ll never believe what they can pull off. It looks crazy now, but it all comes together. Chris is some kind of genius.” She’s referring to Chris Leslie, longtime local theater veteran and founder of Pandemonium Productions. He somehow controls 54 kids between the ages of 7 and 16, and makes a musical out of their boundless enthusiasm. As the onstage actors practice the dance to “I Like to Move It,” Leslie crouches next to me. “If you have a seizure disorder you might want to skip this number,” he says with a smile. “We’re going to have a lot of black lights, confetti and special effects for the lemurs.” Growing up, Leslie was involved in theater through school, and eventually adopted it as a vocation. He fell into nonprofit kids’ theater because he saw such a need in New Mexico. He started teaching after getting a master’s degree in arts education, and just didn’t stop. “It’s magical,”
he says. “They inspire me. They have so much energy and it just rubs off.” Now, 17 years later, Pandemonium shows no signs of slowing, and Madagascar is a fresh story featuring heavily syncopated pop songs to keep everyone engaged (traditional show tunes can be a snooze). Professional musicians and choreographers put together the musical numbers. The performances will feature a live pit band. Leslie won’t go into too much detail about the promised special effects, though, because he wants viewers to be surprised. A preview at the rehearsal, however, was exciting. Leslie

A BEER WITH BILL
Shakespeare might be a little overrated. Of course, his work is vital, foundational, eternally relevant and necessary reading for every thinking human in the world … But gosh, his plays can be long. The language is tough to break into. In performance, if not communicated perfectly by seasoned actors, meaning is often lost. And seriously, whose mind hasn’t wandered during Macbeth? So, if his sometimes-inaccessible genius is so necessary to intellectual survival, what’s a mere mortal to do? Check out the Reduced Shakespeare Company, naturally. Acting as live CliffsNotes for every single one of Shakespeare’s plays, infused with hearty humor and at least one puppet, the California-based, in-

PREAD OUT, LEMURS!
sends kids scattering with a called command: “Spread out, lemurs! Remember?” Unique interpretations of scenery get every last kid involved. When a couple young men stepped up to croon solos from “What A Wonderful World,” I almost dropped my pen in surprise at how beautiful their voices were. It will be “a sight to behold,” Leslie says, and we’re inclined to believe the miracle worker.
ternationally touring RSC has been condensing culture since 1981. RSC writers Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor have presented brief histories of comedy, humanity, Hollywood, sports, America and Christmas, and now bring William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (Abridged) to Santa Fe, fresh off a UK tour. The show, with a cast of three men (including Martin), is a shortened version of young Shakespeare’s very first manuscript (purportedly 100 hours long and found in a parking lot in England—RSC is “totally not completely making this up”). It pulls moments and characters from Billy’s 39 plays into one 90-minute production and, according to Martin, is fun enough to be accessible to newcomers but peppered with plenty of Easter eggs for Shakespearian scholars. The whole thing also happens to be written in iambic pentameter, but that’s not as important as how truly watchable it is. “Our intent is to entertain people,” Martin tells SFR. “It’s like how classic Looney Tunes play for an audience. Like ‘What’s Opera, Doc?’: As a kid, it’s wacky and silly. But then if you know a little bit about Wagner and you watch it again 20 or 30 years later, you go, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s all this other stuff going on that I didn’t even know was there!’—but you didn’t need to.” In a perfect world, folks would see RSC shows and then go home and actually pick up that huge Collected Works gathering dust. But does it actually happen? According to Martin, it does. “We have a lot of students and teachers who come up to us after every single show and say, ‘I saw your show and it turned me on to Shakespeare, and I wanted to go see the real thing.’ So we’re kind of a gateway drug.” While their immediate goal is to entertain, Martin and his fellow writers and actors really do know and love the mysterious dude from Stratford-upon-Avon. He says there’s a hidden authenticity to RSC’s work. “I think we perform Shakespeare the way it was at the time—at the time, he was popular culture,” he explains. “High-brow and low-brow folks liked it. We have guys playing girls—that’s Shakespearian. We interact with the audience, and that’s Shakespearian as well. ... I think if Shakespeare were alive today, he would approve, and go out for a beer with us after.” REDUCED SHAKESPEARE COMPANY: WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S LONG LOST FIRST PLAY (ABRIDGED)
Puck (with the horns), that ever-spritely pain in the ass, enchants and entertains in William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (Abridged).

FOOD
The F in Fundación Tacos, tacos everywhere ... BY MICHAEL J WILSON t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
A
lmost Exactly two years ago— you’d be forgiven if you can’t recall the pre-2016 election years at this point, since garbage fires tend to envelop everything in smoke—Bert’s Burger Bowl closed after 61 years, and Santa Fe mourned. That final day, the line stretched out the door and down the block. It was a wonderful outpouring of the emotional connection we have to food. Within months, Shake Foundation owner Brian Knox announced that he would be taking over the location at 235 N Guadalupe St. for a planned taco restaurant. People were optimistic; Knox has a 30-plus-year career in restaurants and Shake Foundation has been a hit since opening in 2014. And then not much happened. Until last Monday, that is, when finally, Taco Fundación opened its doors. That first day they sold out quickly. And the second day. And the third. I stopped by on a Thursday, making sure to get there before their noon opening time and there were already three people waiting in line. Knox hasn’t done much to the appearance of the space. Like Bert’s (and, as it were, like Shake Foundation), it’s a walkup counter with no seating inside. The patio has small shelves to put your food on and a large picnic table stretches out front. Even the sign for the restaurant recalls the old Bert’s one in its simple typography. Knox understands the nostalgia of the space. For opening week, the menu features eight simple à la carte options with a promise of more to come. Restaurants take time
to find their groove, and I like that they nod to this evolution from the start. I picked three tacos from the menu: the al pastor ($3) features pork with pineapple and onion; the chicken mole ($3.25) was being raved about in the comments sections on Facebook; and finally one of the three (!) veggie options, the verduras 1 ($3) with sweet potato, kale, pine nuts and cotija. Taco Fundación also serves up verduras 2 with potatoes, avocado and cotija as well as verduras 3 with Oaxacan cheese, portabella mushrooms, onions and cilantro sauce. The Shake Foundation model has been brought to this new venture: You order, then get your drink and a little buzzer and you wait for the goods. There is a simple water station set up with napkins and bottles of pepper and tomatillo sauce. I went outside and sat at the long picnic table. The first thing to note is that the buzzers weren’t working. Each had a number on the bottom and they call them out. This seems like something to explain to customers (and apparently, they’re working now). I realized this after a few minutes had passed and I saw people who had ordered after me leaving with food. Once I was back inside Knox immediately made
an announcement that they were not taking any more orders due to a delivery issue with their tortillas. They had been open 15 minutes. When I asked about my order I was told they were waiting on one taco. With no more information given, I can only assume that the filling wasn’t ready. I watched as most of the 15 or so customers who ordered after me got their food and left. I waited close to 30 minutes for my three tacos. Now, I realize that kinks will kink, but 30 minutes for three tacos is a little unreasonable. This, coupled with their stock issues, makes me wonder if, even after two years of work, the place was actually ready to open. Yet, the tacos were great. The pork was a little bland and needed a bit more pineapple to balance the onion flavor, but it was cooked perfectly. The chicken mole had sesame seeds for texture and a little crema and was great as well. Both needed a bit of pepper sauce to make them pop, though, and I found myself thinking of other restaurants’ variations on these options. The item that surprised me was the verduras; the potatoes were creamy, their earthy sweetness paired well with the garlic-sauteed kale and pine nuts. The tastes
If Bert’s Burger Bowl has to be gone, at least we get tacos out of it.
were balanced and strong and didn’t need any extra help getting their point across. That taco didn’t make me think of anything other than how good it was. Taco Fundación has a built-in market. Its downtown location means they’ll have a large lunch crowd, and many fans of Shake Foundation will give it a shot. It has had an instant line at open every day this week and they have sold out each day as well. This is a testament to the need for a reasonable lunch spot down there, and to people’s trust in Knox. But they have yet to be open their full hours (noon6 pm) or to provide fast service. You could see the frustration on Knox’s face when he announced that they were not going to be able to serve because the delivery hadn’t arrived. And I felt for him greatly. Give the place a try. The tacos are good. But you can get good tacos at so many places in Santa Fe that I can’t honestly recommend it over any of the others. I’d also suggest waiting a few weeks for the kinks to work themselves out. If Knox can get up to speed, he’ll have a place as beloved as the one he’s replacing.

BEST MOVIE EVER

A challenging glimpse at a flawed modern icon BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange remains a calculated mystery, even after filmmaker Laura Poitras’ eye-opening documentary Risk, a grim look at the man himself covering Wikileaks’ rise to prominence before Assange’s descent to Ecuadorian political asylum-seeker. Poitras is best known for Citizenfour, a similar documentary about NSA leaker Edward Snowden from 2014. That film was somewhat sympathetic; in Risk, however, the controversy surrounding Assange almost takes a backseat to his presence as public figure, changing the story Poitras set out to tell. It morphs from First Amendment freedoms and Assange’s role as a blurred-lines sometimes-hero into a rather bleak exposé on id and ego, the terrifying power and reach of the internet and a singular man seemingly lost in unattainable ideals and self-imposed loneliness who now hides behind the concepts of free will, free information and transparent government.
8 ++ EYE-OPENING
AND RIVETING
-- SO DEPRESSING
Following 2010 allegations of sexual assault that found Sweden attempting to extradite Assange from the UK, it becomes unclear whether the US is just trying to make way, in turn, for their own extradition of Assange from Sweden. Regardless, his glib demeanor in the face of the charges doesn’t do him any favors. Could this be where he begins to lose Poitras? Assange seems subsequently paranoid, a once-mighty icon to the hacking, radical and even liberal communities toppled from his throne of reproach. Of course, Trump singing his praises during the 2016 election didn’t much help him with image. And anyway, Assange seems alternately brave in a painfully idealistic, misguided sense, and all too happy to let
the leakers who use his platform (such as the now-commuted former army private Chelsea Manning, who served seven years in prison for leaking classified intel) face the consequences while he dyes his hair and hides out, all the while espousing the sanctity of freedom. Wherever one might land in regards to Wikileaks and its founder, Poitras provides a heretofore-unseen window into their inner-workings. Just don’t be surprised if Assange can’t live up to his own hype. He is, after all, human. RISK Directed by Poitras Center for Contemporary Arts, NR, 94 min.

and often disturbing. But it is also riveting and important; we know these kinds of things happened before and make the political landscape of today all the more terrifying. With no narrator, The War at Home might most aptly be likened to a film like 1982’s Atomic Café. Here, the uncensored imagery does the talking, and through this we wind up taking a long, hard look at our contemporary selves. Or at least, we should. Ultimately, we have to ask where patriotism ends and rabid, misguided nationalism begins. Can we use this documentary as a warning sign, or do we dismiss its message as dated? Either way, this is vital viewing—both for those who lived through the era and need a refresher and for American youths who may want to know their fight might not be anything new, but is nonetheless still essential to a healthy democracy. (Alex De Vore) Jean Cocteau, NR, 100 min.
++ IMPORTANT; TIMELY AS EVER -- A BIT RAPID-FIRE
Though it’s been nearly 40 years since the initial release of The War at Home in 1979, this close look at the domestic protest efforts waged during the Vietnam War rings as relevant as ever. In fact, other than the dated outfits, blackand-white film or aged filters, the scenes could very well have been ripped from today’s goingson, though at the time it seemed simple enough for the authorities to describe concerned parties as “un-American” in feeble attempts to discredit them. It was obviously a wildly changing time for America amid the Civil Rights movement, with young men burning their draft cards and a rising tide of organized protest. Through clips, news reports, interviews and on-the-ground footage, we get an intimate idea of the many angles used by Americans who were dissatisfied with the atrocities in Vietnam. Whether it’s retellings of sit-ins organized to thwart recruiters for Dow Chemical (the company famously behind weapons such as napalm), difficult imagery of wounded Vietnamese children or even just peaceful congregations, the film is intense

novels on the circuit, comic artist/animator Dash Shaw brings the gestalt to the big screen, albeit in a wildly exaggerated fashion. The film My Entire High School Sinking into the Sea is a bizarre and skewed recalling of high school wannabe life melded with Superhero adventure comedy (very) loosely based on Shaw’s own life—or at least his obsession with comics and independent film. We follow sophomore Dash (voiced by Jason Schwartzman) and his friends Assaf (Reggie Watts) and Verti (the inimitable Maya Rudolph) as the age-old perils of seaside high school coolness coupled with the pressures of a school newspaper drive a wedge between them. When Dash jealously lashes out against his pals in print and subsequently sets out to doctor a black mark on his permanent record, he discovers building inspection documents forged by the mysterious Principal Grimm (Thomas Jay Ryan), an eyepatch-wearing almost-villain (who, for the record, does ultimately seek redemption). Indeed, Dash’s entire high school sinks into the sea, and it’s up to the student body to survive. Thrust into uncomfortable high school politics alongside his hurt friends, a popular-girl-type named Mary (Girls’ Lena Dunham) and a badass lunch lady with a heartbreaking past named Lorraine (Susan Sarandon), Dash still finds a way to access his own bias but, of course, that’s part of what makes it so funny. Teenagers can be self-absorbed—even as classmates are eaten by sharks—and though Dash is flawed and probably still carrying the scars from last year’s acne, he manages to become a lovable, understandably human hero. High School is the coming-together of so many wonderful things, from comics and abstract animation to the excellent original score from Rani Sharone. John Cameron Mitchell of Hedwig and the Angry Inch fame even makes an appearance in the cast and, hopefully, some weirdo kid out there who feels lost will look up at the screen and realize there’s a whole world out there waiting for them.

A creative plot from screenwriters Amy Jump and Ben Wheatley dishes out surprises that really are surprising. Wardrobe also did a spot-on job, with the crew in 1978 Boston outfitted in a smart set of attire from Armie Hammer’s snug blazer as Ord the bodyguard-type, to the clown suit with shoulder pads sported by Vernon (Sharlto Copley, District 9) and the mustard number for the unforgettable Babou Ceesay (Eye in the Sky) along with a remarkable afro. Knee high-boots and a great handbag complement the fixer’s quick thinking, and as Justine, Brie Larson (Kong: Skull Island) makes a sizeable contribution as the only woman in the cast. She has all the room in the world to make an impression, and she does, notably crawling on the dirt floor of the warehouse with the same gusto as the rest of the gang. We also dug on the sound, a sparse audio track with clear space for the witty dialog. Rather than a foreboding undertone of music, the singular instruments with spurts of jazz add a quality to the slow pace. The snappy editing means you trace every shot fired. Good old-fashioned

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
5
++ PISSING OFF ONE MILLION MOMS -- MEN AND UNREALISTIC DISHWARE
Is your masculinity feeling fragile? Fear not, delicate dudes, for the fraternity of frivolous bros in Disney’s newest live-action movie-musical has enough beefcakes and bestiality for audiences of all ages. Director Bill Condon’s (Dreamgirls, Kinsey) adaptation of the 1991 animated film of the same name illustrates the story of a cursed narcissistic prince (Dan Stevens of Downton Abbey) and a thoughtful, young woman (Emma Watson) who inevitably falls in love despite the meager machismo and brutish advances of resident asshole Gaston (Luke Evans from Fast & Furious 6). With the help of his house staff, Lumière (Trainspotting’s
Ewan McGregor), Cogsworth (Lord of the Rings’ Ian McKellen) and Mrs. Potts (Love Actually’s Emma Thompson), the Beast is able to prove he’s worthy of Belle’s love through manipulation and coercion. Spoiler alert: The two lead characters inevitably fall in love and Gaston is the winner of the No Belle Prize. The Beast, who never once gives his real name and doesn’t correct anyone when they call him such, tears Belle from her ailing father, falsely imprisons her, uses threats of violence and withholds food to convince her he’s “not like most guys,” only to triumphantly win her over with his extensive collection of leather-bound books. Modern romance. While the introduction of new songs, bright colors and subtle hints of Lafou’s queerness (portrayed by Book of Mormon’s Josh Gad) were distracting from the ragtag bunch of feeble fellas this film has to offer, Belle’s line rang true that “there must be more than this provincial life.” Perhaps maybe a plot point that doesn’t center around the alienation or objectification of women who make their own choices? Just a suggestion. Running a nearly unbearable two hours-plus, this film has all the fun-loving problematic characters we know and love from the original animated version. However, the best review for this film is probably a vague “ehhhh” noise and a noncommittal wiggly hand gesture. (Kendall Mac) Regal, Violet Crown, PG, 129 min.
GET OUT

++ SMART AND SCARY; DEFIES EXPECTATION
-- WRAPS UP A LITTLE QUICKLY
Much of the draw of Get Out is in seeing its writer/director Jordan Peele (of legendary comedy duo Key and Peele) strike out of the genre for which he’s known. But the film proves to be far more than a simple foray into uncharted territory from a talented comic mind, and instead becomes one of the most original and well-executed horror films in generations. A young photographer named Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) is set to visit his girlfriend’s parents for the weekend. “Do ... they know I’m black?” he asks her nervously beforehand, and we honestly believe Rose (Girls’ Allison Williams) when she answers, “They are not racist.” And at first this seems to be all well and good, though Allison’s doctor-father Dean (a brilliantly disarming Bradley Whitford) and therapist-mother Missy (a wildly discomforting Catherine Keener) seem a bit off, they still appear to at least be trying in that I-swear-I’m-totally-not-racist kind of way.

It could be Rose’s obviously sociopathic brother Jeremy (Caleb Landry Jones), a far-too-chipper maid (Betty Gabriel) who stands silently smiling at all times or the ominous and terrifying groundskeeper (Marcus Henderson) who speaks like he just so totally has something to hide. Regardless, it’s creepy as hell up in there, but Chris seems to be the only one who can feel it. Get Out shines in its metered examination of tokenism, conditioned racism and even our societal expectations. Peele neatly pulls this off without ever resorting to overt explanations, however, instead allowing the actions of its characters to slowly unfold the goings-on at Rose’s spooky family home. He trusts his audience will be patient, which is a sadly lacking quality of modern filmmaking. By the time all is revealed, we share in Chris’ realization that it may be too late, but we savor the slow burn right up to the shocking truth. (ADV) Regal, R, 103 min.
more about the humans in the cats’ lives rather than the opposite. A sailor, for instance, who once lost everything but was saved by a cat who led him to a hidden cache of money, spends his days roaming the port feeding feral kittens with a bottle. Elsewhere, a baker forms an unlikely alliance with a cat who unwittingly gives his life meaning beyond his work. In a nearby home packed to the rafters with countless strays, two women cook for and feed dozens of street cats daily. Even those who aren’t in love with these fascinating creatures will find a captivating human story here. And rather than linger on the more cutesy aspects of felines, Kedi instead proves an inspiring treatise on the enriching aspects of animals and a satisfying glimpse into the beauty of the city itself.

KEDI

++ NOT JUST FOR CAT LOVERS -- COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER
The camera moves along the ancient streets of Istanbul, following a particularly adorable orange cat. Diners at streetside cafés hand over treats. Passersby respectfully step around her. Nearby, a clever striped fellow scales a three-story building to visit a human friend in her apartment. At an outdoor flea market across town, young and old cats alike sleep amongst the wares. The camera pans along the port and cranes up over the gorgeous Golden Horn, revealing the massive labyrinth of a city. This is Kedi, a new documentary on the street cats of Istanbul from director Ceyda Torun, and it is awe-inspiring. We follow the seemingly ordinary lives of various cats who live throughout the sprawling Turkish metropolis on the sea. From a rather polite comrade who haunts a deli patio (but is never so rude as to go inside), a beat-up old tabby who rules her perceived turf with an iron paw, a portside puffer who keeps the mouse population under control and beyond, the brief windows into the lives of cats come together to prove one thing: Cats are beloved in Istanbul. Through this, Kedi sneakily becomes perhaps

Due to a birth defect, HANK is on two inexpensive daily medications and it is unknown how long he will require these. Since he sometimes leaves small formed poop on the floor, he needs a home with little to no carpet and a person who doesn’t mind cleaning up a little after him. TEMPERAMENT: HANK is full of energy and loves to play with any kitten he DAMARIS meets — he has helped socialize several feral kittens. His current HANK companion is DAMARIS, born approximately 7/14/16. HANK is a handsome boy with a short coat and brown tabby markings. AGE: born approximately 7/3/16. City of Santa Fe Permit #17-004.

MIND BODY SPIRIT CHIROPRACTIC Rob Brezsny
Week of May 3rd
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Beware of feeling sorry for sharks that yell for help. Beware of trusting coyotes that act like sheep and sheep that act like coyotes. Beware of nibbling food from jars whose contents are different from what their labels suggest. But wait! “Beware” is not my only message for you. I have these additional announcements: Welcome interlopers if they’re humble and look you in the eyes. Learn all you can from predators and pretenders without imitating them. Take advantage of any change that’s set in motion by agitators who shake up the status quo, even if you don’t like them.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) In addition to fashion tips, advice for the broken-hearted, midlife-crisis support, and career counseling, I sometimes provide you with more mystical help. Like now. So if you need nuts-and-bolts guidance, I hope you’ll have the sense to read a more down-to-earth horoscope. What I want to tell you is that the metaphor of resurrection is your featured theme. You should assume that it’s somehow the answer to every question. Rejoice in the knowledge that although a part of you has died, it will be reborn in a fresh guise.
$40.00 CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “Are you ready for the genie’s Effective May 1, 2017, TAURUS (April 20-May 20) When poet Wislawa favors? Don’t rub the magic lamp unless you are.” That’s Gilbert Chiropractic & Szymborska delivered her speech for winning the Nobel the message I saw on an Instagram meme. I immediately Wellness located at 1504 Prize, she said that “whatever else we might think of this thought of you. The truth is that up until recently, you S St Francis Drive, Santa world -- it is astonishing.” She added that for a poet, have not been fully prepared for the useful but demandFe, NM, will offer a walkthere really is no such thing as the “ordinary world,” ing gifts the genie could offer you. You haven’t had the in clinic on Wednesdays “ordinary life,” and “the ordinary course of events.” In self-mastery necessary to use the gifts as they’re meant from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. fact, “Nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and to be used, and therefore they were a bit dangerous to Offer is open to everyone. not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not a you. But that situation has changed. Although you may Call if you have questions single night after it. And above all, not a single exisstill not be fully primed, you’re as ready as you can be. tence, not anyone’s existence in this world.” I offer you (505)984-1222 her thoughts, Taurus, because I believe that in the next two weeks you will have an extraordinary potential to feel and act on these truths. You are hereby granted a license to be astonished on a regular basis.
That’s why I say: RUB THE MAGIC LAMP!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may have heard the exhortation “Follow your bliss!”, which was popularized by mythologist Joseph Campbell. After studying the archetypal stories of many cultures GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Would you consider throughout history, he concluded that it was the most enrolling in my Self-Pity Seminar? If so, you would learn that obsessing on self-pity is a means to an end, important principle driving the success of most heroes. Here’s another way to say it: Identify the job or activity not a morass to get lost in. You would feel sorry for yourself for brief, intense periods so that you could feel that deeply excites you, and find a way to make it the proud and brave the rest of the time. For a given period center of your life. In his later years, Campbell worried —let’s say three days—you would indulge and indulge that too many people had misinterpreted “Follow your and indulge in self-pity until you entirely exhausted bliss” to mean “Do what comes easily.” That’s all that emotion. Then you’d be free to engage in an orgy wrong, he said. Anything worth doing takes work and of self-healing, self-nurturing, and self-celebration. struggle. “Maybe I should have said, ‘Follow your Ready to get started? Ruminate about the ways that blisters,’” he laughed. I bring this up, Sagittarius, people don’t fully appreciate you. because you are now in an intense “Follow your blisters” phase of following your bliss. CANCER (June 21-July 22) In a typical conversation, most of us utter too many “uhs,” “likes,” “I means,” and CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The versatile artist “you knows.” I mean, I’m sure that… uh… you’ll agree Melvin Van Peebles has enjoyed working as a filmmaker, that, like, what’s the purpose of, you know, all that screenwriter, actor, composer, and novelist. One of his pointless noise? But I have some good news to deliver more recent efforts was a collaboration with the experiabout your personal use of language in the coming mental band The Heliocentrics. Together they created a weeks, Cancerian. According to my reading of the science-fiction-themed spoken-word poetry album titled astrological omens, you’ll have the potential to The Last Transmission. Peebles told NPR, “I haven’t had dramatically lower your reliance on needless filler. But so much fun with clothes on in years.” If I’m reading the wait, there’s more: Clear thinking and precise speech planetary omens correctly Capricorn, you’re either expejust might be your superpowers. As a result, your riencing that level of fun, or will soon be doing so. powers of persuasion should intensify. Your ability to advocate for your favorite causes may zoom. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) In 1668, England named John Dryden its first Poet Laureate. His literary influence was so monumental that the era in which he published was known as the Age of Dryden. Twentieth-century poetry great T. S. Eliot said he was “the ancestor of nearly all that is best in the poetry of the eighteenth century.” Curiously, Dryden had a low opinion of Shakespeare. “Scarcely intelligible,” he called the Bard, adding, “His whole style is so pestered with figurative expressions that it is as affected as it is coarse.” I foresee a comparable clash of titans in your sphere, Leo. Two major influences may fight it out for supremacy. One embodiment of beauty may be in competition with another. One powerful and persuasive force could oppose another. What will your role be? Mediator? Judge? Neutral observer? Whatever it is, be cagey. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Just this once, and for a limited time only, you have cosmic clearance to load up on sugary treats, leave an empty beer can in the woods, watch stupid TV shows, and act uncool in front of the Beautiful People. Why? Because being totally well-behaved and perfectly composed and strictly pure would compromise your mental health more than being naughty. Besides, if you want to figure out what you are on the road to becoming, you will need to know more about what you’re not.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) In what ways do you most resemble your mother? Now is a good time to take inventory. Once you identify any mom-like qualities that tend to limit your freedom or lead you away from your dreams, devise a plan to transform them. You may never be able to defuse them entirely, but there’s a lot you can do to minimize the mischief they cause. Be calm but calculating in setting your intention, Aquarius! P.S.: In the course of your inventory, you may also find there are ways you are like your mother that are of great value to you. Is there anything you could do to more fully develop their potential? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) “We are what we imagine,” writes Piscean author N. Scott Momaday. “Our very existence consists in our imagination of ourselves. Our best destiny is to imagine who and what we are. The greatest tragedy that can befall us is to go unimagined.” Let’s make this passage your inspirational keynote for the coming weeks. It’s a perfect time to realize how much power you have to create yourself through the intelligent and purposeful use of your vivid imagination. (P.S. Here’s a further tip, this time from Cher: “All of us invent ourselves. Some of us just have more imagination than others.”) Homework: Which of your dead ancestors would you most like to talk to? Imagine a conversation with one of them.
