Deep Discing BY ALEX DE VORE

t was already getting hot when we met Stephen Bohannon behind the Genoveva Chavez Community Center a little after 9:30 am on a recent Sunday. Bohannon and about two dozen other people gather here, or at numerous other locations around town most Sundays, to play disc golf together, and he’s allowed us to tag along and observe. The game is simple: Get your disc into the hole, or basket—a standing metal receptacle with dangling chains that catch the disc—in as few shots as possible. The basic rules are the same as traditional golf and the equipment is similar in scope, right down to the markers the golfers use to remember where their last shots ended up. No one is quite sure when the game began, though according to the Professional Disc Golf Association, the origins extend as far back as the 1960s. Golfer Wendy Gerner, who has played almost every Sunday for over 20 years, says the first Santa Fe course—Ashbaugh Park—was built 26 years ago. Frisbees were used at first, though they were starting to phase out by the ’80s. Today’s players don’t much care for the term, nor do they use that particular trademarked product. Instead, the paraphernalia has evolved, and golfers now use a veritable arsenal of discs designed for

different types of throws—much like golf clubs. Bohannon holds up a number of his own, showing off their varying sizes and aerodynamic elements. “This is a putter,” he says, pointing out the blunt edges for increased wind resistance and, thus, shorter shots. “Whereas one like this,” he

MOST POPULAR LOCAL DISC GOLF COURSES Newcomers can check out the Santa Fe Disc Golf group on Facebook, though Bohannon suggests sending a message along with a request to join. Most games occur on Sundays at alternating courses around Santa Fe.

continues, flipping a bright red disc over and pointing out its sharper edges and undercarriage elements, “can give you more lift or will fly a while and veer off toward the right.” The rest of the crew wears custom backpacks crammed with discs or drag pull-carts of equipment along behind them. Bohannon says he and other players buy equipment from Los Alamos resident Antonio Chavarria, who sets up shop on certain days to hawk his wares; the days of local shops carrying equipment are long over. Bohannon also estimates a typical golf round runs about three hours, and describes the game as “a sport.” Between the heat and the various terrains, he’s not wrong—it’s a bit like taking a more structured hike, and the players are serious, from the equipment to the scorecards. We watch as various golfers tee off, and there’s a definite competitive edge. But the overall mood is friendly, with golfers shouting out encouragement to one another like “Good shot!” or “Nice save!” All around us, the sounds of the ongoing games ring out through the nearby arroyo. Gerner says this congeniality might be the main draw for both newcomers and veterans. “It’s such a nicely social game,” she explains. “You can go out and chat and have fun and be competitive, but it’s still friendly.” She says the local scene once fostered high-level tournaments, but that it’s a little less serious now. She further cites the local use of a handicap system averaged from the player’s last five scores as an attractive feature, as well as special tees closer to the hole for newcomers or those who might not have as much oomph in their throws. The feeling among every last group is welcoming. They’re happy to be here. “It’s a really great day for this,” we overhear from someone in the crowd. It absolutely is.

The art of resistance, from Lima to Santa Fe BY CHARLOTTE JUSINSKI

ome of the most important folk art you can encounter in Santa Fe right now isn’t quaint, behind glass or to be handled with white curator’s gloves. It’s wheat-pasted to plywood, printed on sweaty T-shirts and speaks truth to exploitative oil companies, drawing its inspiration from hand-lettering on bodega windows and the sides of garbage trucks and buzzy neon colors. Basically, it’s the most badass museum exhibit we have right now. The staid title of the Museum of International Folk Art’s exhibition Crafting Memory: The Art of Community in Peru does no justice to the explosive rebellion contained therein. The entryway features wheat-pasted screenprint posters by the collective Amapolay, expressing dissent about energy extraction in formerly pristine tribal regions, and the resulting massacres of Indigenous people that occurred as recently as 2009 (that conflict, the Baguazo, received particularly high attention— but injustice and disenfranchisement are still constant for the Indigenous people of Peru). Due to oil drilling in the mountainous regions of the country, the provincial populations have been pushed into shantytowns and slums in urban Lima, where they’re then looked down upon (the director of the Peruvian national newspaper actually called tribal people “savages” and “primitive” in print that same year)

and have their settlements bulldozed. The push and pull between survival-based assimilation and pride in tradition is a rough one in Lima, but some of the most remarkable graphic art around has come out of the conflict. The ubiquitousness of the work in Crafting Memory is paramount. “This goes back to Amapolay and their ethos that this should really be accessible; … they’re not just making things that are themed on communities. They’re doing the work,” says

by Qarla Quispe, whose designs reclaim of the word “chola” (which, in Peru, means a tribal woman, and typically connotes someone uncouth—oh hell no). Posters for chicha concerts, lively music with a decidedly revolutionary attitude, feature traditional tribal symbolism worked into urban scenes of Lima. Walking through the Santa Fe exhibit with Groleau is like consulting a walking encyclopedia on the nature of folk art nouveau in Lima, and she’s only got 15 years of study and an archaeology doctorate under her belt; just imagine what the artists themselves could tell us. Good news: You don’t have to imagine. The museum, along with the nonprofit AMP Concerts, brings the art of rebellion to Santa Fe this summer. The artists of Lima are getting on planes. Amapolay founders Carol Fernández and Fernando Castro will be here, likely along with Olinda Silvano, who’s a bit of an unofficial spokeswoman of the displaced ShipiboConibo people in the shantytowns of Lima (Silvano and other Shipibo artists are still awaiting visa approval). They’ll collaborate with local screenAmy Groleau, the museum’s printers for a week, and “Somos Raiz/We are Roots,” poster by curator of Latin American colthe resulting images Amapolay is part of lections. “Preciousness can be and ideas will then be the exhibit from Peru at the Museum of alienating and make you feel on extended display in International like you don’t have ownership. the museum’s Gallery of Folk Art. … That it’s for people who are Conscience, and for the wealthy. But the accessibility weekend at community that it’s on T-shirts, it’s on posters, events at the museum and in the that it’s not super expensive … that it’s Railyard, including a chicha concert reproducible; this also makes it so it’s from Los Angeles band La Chamba. very visible in the city. … When you’re While the images created during wearing the T-shirt, you’re flying the that week will, of course, be a surcolors.” prise, we’re willing to bet they’ll be There are pollera skirts, recognizawesome.

The next day up on Museum Hill, catch gallery talks from the artists (with translators; they all speak Spanish) and hit up a pop-up shop. There is realness and celebration in struggle. There’s no resistance or revolution without something to resist or revolt against; there’s resistance inherent in preservation of traditions that the mainstream wants to stamp out. The cultural wars we’re waging in America right now are worlds away from those underway in Peru, but the refrain that comes out of conflict is the same: Those in power can do whatever they want to us, but we’re going to make something incredible from it. “What is art for? What does art do? It’s certainly an aesthetic project; it’s making something beautiful,” Groleau tells SFR. “It’s not just … reactive. It’s really creative, and it’s really about vision; this work is all speaking to a future to come, and this creative moment of, ‘Let’s make the future how we want it to be. We’re coming from this place of struggle … and imagining a future that is much more inclusive.’ It’s active—it’s creating a world.”

SUMMERTIME RADNESS STORY + PHOTOS BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN

PLAN YOUR ADVENTURES AND YOUR MEALS TO HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME WITH AN ON-POINT PICNIC

Santa Fe is a prime location for picnicking. Whether you’re parking somewhere off Artist Road to explore the cool aspen and conifer wilds of the Santa Fe National Forest, pulling up to the otherworldly red rocks and blue water of Abiquiú Lake or even just leaning your bike under the trees in the gorgeous Harvey Cornell Rose Park off Galisteo Street, Santa Fe and its environs are basically begging to be explored. And why not enjoy some homegrown food while you’re at it and truly have the kind of picnic you can’t get anywhere else? Prices for local options in Santa Fe can be pretty steep, but we kept the total under $100 for two people.

Todos Santos Sena Plaza, 125 E Palace Ave., 982-3855 10 am-5 pm Monday-Saturday; noon-4 pm Sunday No picnic would be complete without a few sweet treats, so for dessert head to Todos Santos, tucked away in the Sena Plaza. Here, New Orleans native Hayward Simoneaux quietly crafts delicious confections from a spectrum of different flavorings and types of chocolate. House-made truffles are $2.50 to $3 each, and boxes can run anywhere from $5 to $21. The flavors include lemon verbena, caramel, toffee crunch, orange peel and two different kinds of peanut butter.

Total: $17.50 for a mix of six truffles, three at each price point

Alicia’s Tortilleria 1314 Rufina Circle, 438-9545 8 am-6 pm Monday-Saturday One of the best spots in town for New Mexican food, Alicia’s is also pretty easy on the wallet, so a bag of chips from this unassuming neighborhood tortille tortilleria not two blocks from Meow Wolf would provide a nice counterbalance to some of the more expensive gourmet items taking up real estate in the picnic basket. The chips are $3, made from house-made corn tortillas. Add whipped avocado guacamole and jalapeño salsa for an extra dollar.

Total: $4

Cheesemongers of Santa Fe

Featuring over 150 different cut-to-order cheeses and a variety of deli meats, crackers and spreads, Cheesemongers of Santa Fe is an easy downtown stop for picnic items. The counter features selections from smallscale farmsteads, so it rotates constantly. • Quicke’s Mature Cheddar, aged cow’s milk cheese from England: $29.95 per pound, $7.50 per quarter pound • Delice du Poitou, soft goat’s milk cheese from France: $14 each

• Mimolette, aged cow’s milk cheese from France: $34.95 per pound, $8.75 per quarter pound • Persille de Chevre, midweight ash coated goat’s milk blue cheese from France: $34. 95 per pound, $8.75 per quarter pound • Good Thunder, soft, stinky cow’s milk cheese from Minnesota: $36.95 per pound, $9.75 per quarter pound

Picnic

130 E Marcy St., 795-7878; cheesemongersofsantafe.com 11 am-6 pm Tuesday-Friday and Sunday; 10 am-6 pm Saturday

Total: $48.25 for all six; average $24.12 for three

Bodega Prime 1291 San Felipe Ave., 303-3535; bodegaprime.com 8 am-4 pm Tuesday-Thursday; 10 am-4 pm Saturday and Sunday This takeout space always features a rotating spectrum of different locally made products, reflecting an admirable commitment to seasonality and sustainability. Expect the range of options to expand as summer progresses, although there are already plenty of dips and spreads made in-house, not to mention a few delicious sweet and savory pastries (think an orange poppy seed scone and pear almond frangipane Danish). Scones are $3.25, Danishes are $4.75. A 12-ounce container of pickles ($7), the tomatillo salsa ($12), the kimchi ($12) or green chile dip ($7) round things out nicely.

Total: $46 for all; $27 for one item at each price point

Opuntia Café 922 Shoofly St., opuntia.cafe 9 am-6 pm daily A big pitcher of iced tea makes for a refreshing respite on a summer afternoon. We picked up our tea leaves from this Baca Street Railyard plant store and tea house, which features a variety of offerings from San Francisco based Samovar Tea. For an herbal infusion, the turmeric spice is made of organic ginger, orange peel, licorice root and turmeric and tastes absolutely delicious cold. A 2-ounce bag is $16. Though the preparation onsite is divine, you’d have to make it ahead at home to have enough to take on an adventure.

Total: $16

Mucho Gourmet Sandwich Shoppe 1711 Llano St., Ste. G, 473-7703; muchosantafe.com 10:30 am-3 pm Monday-Friday This tiny little sandwich shop makes some delicious grub for a wide range of people. Those who like a heartier style can choose from a grilled Cubano or a meatball sub, but the lighter El Pollo Mucho features a delicious tarragon mayonnaise dressing, and the vegetarian Avocado Prima has avocado and sunflower sprouts dressed with a mouthwatering Italian herb infused spread. Since all the sandwiches here are $8.25, we’d count this as one of the most wallet-friendly lunches in town.

Total: $8.25

THE SILVER SCREEN

JUNE HEREDITARY JUNE 8, R Directed by Ari Aster (who’s from Santa Fe, y’all!), this tale of a lady (Toni Collette) who thinks her dead mom is haunting her weirdo kid is bound to be full of jump scares and, y’know, spooky kids. Sold!

INCREDIBLES 2 JUNE 15, PG

JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM

2018’s coolest summer movies

While most people in our lives start getting amped on summer because they can go outside more often, there’s a certain contingent of SFR staffers who get pumped because of the hot slate of movie releases on the horizon. Check some of our top picks for the upcoming blazing months.

BY ALEX DE VORE

SUMMER GUIDE | 2018 | SFREPORTER.COM

We loved The Incredibles’ not so sneaky kid ification of what basically amounts to the plot from Watchmen back in 2004, and we’re bound to like it now. Bonus points? Holly Hunter’s Elastigirl is somehow weirdly sexy. Don’t act like you haven’t thought that; we’ve seen the fan-made porn.

JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM JUNE 22, PG-13 Lord knows we love Chris Pratt and his prehistoric abs, but we also love the world of JP, even if it’s pretty dumb. Will they shoehorn Jeff Goldblum in? Probably!

JULY THE FIRST PURGE JULY 4, R Y’know in those Purge movies how one day a year allows for people to do whatever the hell they want? Here’s the prequel you never asked for. This oughta kill 90 minutes.

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP JULY 6, PG-13 Oh, you don’t like Marvel movies? First off, bullshit. Secondly, we love Paul Rudd as Ant-Man because he’s about the most charming guy ever and we also watched Clueless about 5,000 times.

MAMA MIA: HERE WE GO AGAIN JULY 20, PG-13 The cast of the original Hollywood version of the ABBA musical reunites to probably make jokes about aging and … something. Wait a minute. This is stupid.

HOT SUMMER NIGHTS JULY 27, R French indie film fuck Timothée Chalamet takes part in yet another coming-of-age story, this time set in Cape Cod. Probably someone will drag you to this and you’ll have to say something like, “Yes. It was good.”

AUGUST THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME AUGUST 3, PG-13 Mila Kunis (from effing Jupiter Rising) and SNL standby Kate McKinnon join forces to make a movie that’ll probably be in a theater near you for about a week and that you’ll keep thinking you want to see but then never get around to seeing because you actually don’t.

THE MEG AUGUST 10, R Jason Statham continues waging his long, courageous battle against fame with The Meg, a movie about a giant shark that does shark stuff while Rainn Wilson of The Office pops in now and then to say awkward and/or snarky things for which Statham gives him stern looks and then punches, um, sharks.

SLENDER MAN AUGUST 24, R Based on the internet horror sensation that somehow caused some pre-teen girls to stab some other pre-teen girl, Slender Man tells the tale of the world’s thinnest man who, after being misunderstood for years, tries to eke out a solitary existence in the woods where no one will make fun of him—but still gets the jabs from a bunch of punk kids.

SMALLFOOT

SEPTEMBER THE PREDATOR SEPTEMBER 14, R It’s not even that we’re particularly mad about a Hollywood that pumps out remakes and reboots all the time, it’s just that we thought the 1987 Predator was perfectly fine. The new one tells the tale of an alien who comes to earth only to be attacked by soldiers and scientists. This awakens long-dormant invisibilty powers and the alien has no choice but to defend itself.

JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN SEPTEMBER 20, PG-1 Hey, Rowan Atkinson, we want to love you, we truly do. But this Johnny English nonsense—he’s a bumbling British spy who probably accidentally cracks a case— has got to stop. Bring back Mr. Bean, man. Everyone would be so pumped.

SMALLFOOT SEPTEMBER 28, NO RATING YET, BUT IT’LL PROBABLY BE G OR PG Channing Tatum’s voice stars as a yeti whose fellow yetis don’t believe him that humans exist. Wait a sec— that’s the reverse of the way it actually is. Sooooo clever, right? MAMA MIA: HERE WE GO AGAIN

A community health needs survey by Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center found that half of Santa Fe County’s population is obese or overweight and, as such, is at increased risk for some chronic diseases.

Cool down with ice-cold treats Frogurt Self-Serve Frozen Yogurt

2801 Rodeo Road, 474-6336, frogurt-nm.com We’re not above lying to ourselves about the healthiness of things—and really, all things considered, frozen yogurt is certainly a little better for you than straight ice cream. Maybe less so when you smother it in toppings (or pick up a pastry), but we’re not made of stone.

Santa Fe Espresso Co.

(aka: The Häagen-Dazs) 56 E San Francisco St., 988-3858 The old standby keeps it going. And sure, those little pints can feel exorbitantly expensive, but when the ice cream comes in cone form and exists right on the Plaza, it’s worth that premium. Lick fast. The sun is coming.

Ecco Espresso and Gelato

128 E Marcy St., 986-9778 Perhaps we’re a little partial to this particular establishment in that it’s right next to our offices, but with a rotating cast of special concoctions (we like the cantaloupe when it’s available), gelato standbys (try that stracciatella) and popular flavors (mint chip or Oreo cream?!), can you blame us?

La Lechería

1708 Lena St.; 101 W Marcy St. 205-1595, lalecherianm.com Chef Joel Coleman of Fire and Hops set out to create a boutique ice cream company with non-traditional flavors (and traditional ones), and man, did he hit a home run. Green chile? Sweet corn? These are not flavors we all crave, but we should and will after just one scoop.

CHILL OUT

BY ALEX DE VORE

Cool treats on hot days are a godsend. It’s rarely in the triple digits for long during Santa Fe’s high mountian summers, but we do have what feel like unbearably hot days. Looking to cool off and beat that sweet tooth? Here are a few of our faves.

Freezie Fresh

Anywhere you can find ’em The Freezie Fresh truck hangs out at Meow Wolf Thursday through Sunday, but moves around the rest of the time (check the Instagram @freeziefresh day to day to find it). When they cool down that cream, mix in those fruits and flavors and roll it up right before your eyes, you know it’ll have been worth it. Did we say rolled ice cream? Yes we did.

Baskin Robbins

556 N Guadalupe St., Suite B1, 820-3131; 1841 Cerrillos Road, 982-9031; 4056 Cerrillos Road, Ste. C-1, 474-3131 We know everyone likes to stay local, but this old standby is obviously popular enough to have three locations across town. Also, those ice cream cakes are bonkers-good.

Paleteria Oasis

4641 Airport Road, Ste. 2, 780-8544; Design Center, 418 Cerrillos Road, 913-0006 With house-made ice cream and fruit popsicles served alongside more savory options, Paleteria Oasis lives up to its name as a glorious Southside sweet spot. More of a downtown person? Another Paleteria Oasis is slated to open soon in the Design Center. Score!

Opening Up ART

BY IRIS McLISTER

Surefire arts events show off in the galleries of summer

e’re an arts town, that’s for sure, and the next few months are set to explode with gallery openings, block parties, museum events and so much more.

Guardian Odyssey

As art districts go, it doesn’t get much cooler than the Baca Street neighborhood, with its funky mix of residential and work spaces, bikeable and strollable Acequia Trail and hip coffee spot Opuntia Café. Liquid Light Glass has been doing its thing in an unassuming commercial plaza that also houses a gem and mineral shop, a secondhand clothing store and Counter Culture Café. For this summer’s Guardian Odyssey, artists Elodie Holmes (who also owns the gallery) and Enrico Embroli present totemic glass figures featuring a blend of materials and influences. In addition to opening up the studio for art classes, Holmes does demonstrations. June 22-July 18; opening reception 5-7:30 pm Friday June 22. Liquid Light Glass, 926 Baca St., Ste. 3, 820-2222; liquidlightglass.com

The Art of Walt Gonske: A Retrospective

In the Santa Fe art world, does Old Guard mean snooty? Not at Nedra Matteucci Galleries, which feels more like a gracious mansion than a gallery. Just beyond its tall coyote

fence is what might be the most eat-your-heart-out beautiful garden in the city. A late-June retrospective of oil paintings by Walt Gonske—many of them, according to gallery director Dustin Belyeu, never previously seen—provides an excellent excuse to mingle outdoors on a grassy lawn that once was home to legendary dealer Matteucci’s pot-bellied pig Hamilton. June 23-July 21; opening reception 1-3 pm Saturday June 23. Nedra Matteucci Galleries, 1075 Paseo de Peralta, 982-4631; matteucci.com

Brandon Maldonado: Picassoism

At first glance, Pop Gallery, located just a short stroll from the Plaza, occurs a bit like the cotton candy of downtown Santa Fe art gallery flavors, but don’t let its unapologetically bright and busy circus-bright sensibility throw you off; Pop’s artist roster is no joke. New Mexico-based painter Brandon Maldonado’s show Neo-Picassoism looks phenomenal—full of the technically stunning and slyly political work we’ve come to expect from this young painter. July 1-Aug. 31; opening reception 6-8 pm Friday July 28. Pop Gallery, 125 Lincoln Ave., 820-0788; popsantafe.com

Center for Contemporary Arts, 1050 Old Pecos Trail, 982-1338; ccasantafe.org

Jeffie Brewer: Tender Barbarian

The husband-and-wife artist duo behind GVG Contemporary run a tight ship, which is impressive because the vibe of their gallery, located just off Canyon Road on Delgado Street, feels spontaneous and quirky. Like lots of gallerists, Ernst Gruler and Blair VaughnGruler’s summer exhibition schedule is robust. Take a break from the more serious stuff in town and check out Jeffie Brewer’s Tender Barbarian. Cute metal monsters coated in Easteregg colors? Yes. Please. July 20-Aug. 17; opening reception 5-7 pm Friday July 20. GVG Contemporary, 241 Delgado St., 982-1494; gvgcontemporary.com

opening of Casa Tomado (House Taken Over, a reference to Argentine writer Julio Cortázar’s short story of the same name), explores themes related to sense of place.

OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK

Blue Rain Gallery, now in its 15th year, has one of the most consistently stellar programs in town. This year, the Railyard gallery packs an especially good punch, with half a dozen or so exhibitions slated from June to September; it seems they’ve saved the very best for last. You definitely don’t want to miss New Mexican artist Jim Vogel’s show of new work, which opens the last weekend of September. His lush, dreamlike landscapes and earnest, dynamically rendered characters give Thomas Hart Benton a run for his money; incredibly, the artist also makes many of his own frames, which range from hammered tin to carved piñon.

Dispensary Guide BY AARON CANTÚ

Sacred Garden The winner of SFR’s Best of Santa Fe 2017 for best cannabis dispensary last year is known to host special events for its customers, including medicated, multi-course meals prepared by head chef Miracle Mary. Owner Zeke Shortes believes patients shouldn’t have to pay a gross receipts tax on cannabis they purchase, arguing it’s more akin to prescription medicine, and is suing the state. It’s a long shot legal argument and we’re not sure how we feel about people not paying taxes on weed—that’s a big selling point for its legalization—but nobody can doubt that Sacred Garden advocates for its patients. 1300 Luisa St., 216-9686, sacredgardennm.com

New MexiCann Natural Medicine This dispensary had the most generous sale specials on 4/20, and the staff is always friendly and helpful as you flip through their catalog of the week’s offerings. The dispensary has doctors and pain specialists that frequent the facility to help people obtain cards and consult with budtenders. If you don’t have a medical card but want to know how you can get one (assuming you have one of the 21 qualifying conditions), you can pop into the dispensary and ask the staff. There are also member discounts if your income falls below a certain threshold. 1592 San Mateo Lane, 982-2621, newmexicann.org

The dispensary has grow and cultivation rooms on site, where it produces the bud it sells at the front and to other dispensaries around the state, including New Mexicann. The interior is polished and leans on the corporate side, but the building painted with a massive “Shift” logo appears like a light on the hill as you drive through an industrial-ish part of Bisbee Court. 24 Bisbee Court, 438-1090, shiftnewmexico.com

Ultra Health Ultra Health’s Santa Fe dispensary feels more like a doctor’s office than do the other cannabis storefronts in the city. Ultra came to Santa Fe by way of a business arrangement with another licensed nonprofit producer, allowing the Arizona-based company to become the largest and most profitable dispensary operator in New Mexico. The company releases stats on the state’s industry regularly, and keeps its finger on the pulse of what’s new. Look for the inconspicuous “Ultra” sign on St. Michael’s Drive. 1907 St. Michael’s Drive, 216-0898, ultrahealth.com

Fruit of the Earth Organics This dispensary claims to be the only one in town that gets all its cannabis from an outdoor grow. Owner Lyra Barren believes cannabis contains “shamanic properties,” and in an effort to broaden the plant’s appeal
