This visually stunning documentary explores New Mexico’s enduring acequias through the voices of farmers, advocates, scholars, parciantes, lawmakers, journalists, and community members.
La Acequia, Nuestra Madre: Art and history of New Mexican waterways
Exhibit:
May 3rd - August 30th
Water is life — and in New Mexico, it flows through centuries of Indigenous knowledge, colonial history, and living community. Co-curated by artist Toby Morfin and Claire Pelaez Motsinger, La Acequia, Nuestra Madre: Art and History of New Mexican Waterways brings together fifteen contemporary New Mexican artists whose creative practices are deeply intertwined with the land they tend. Centering the acequia — a centuries-old communal irrigation system shaped by Indigenous, Moorish, Spanish, and American histories — the exhibition honors those who labor to keep the water flowing, and asks what is lost when a community's bond with water and land is severed. Participating artists include Floyd Archuleta, Luis Barela, Steve Chavez, Erin Currier, Jodie Herrera, Nicholas Herrera, Steven Katzman, Juanita J. Lavadie, Felix Lopez, Krissa Lopez, Joeseph A. Lopez, Huberto Maestas, Toby Morfin, Jody Naranjo, Michael Naranjo, Marcella Pacheco, Roxanne Swentzell, and Jim Vogel.
Who Am I? Quien Soy Yo?
An exhibition of original paintings by Tony Ortega
Exhibit:
November 14th, 2025 - May 24th, 2026
The Millicent Rogers Museum presents Who Am I? ¿Quién Soy Yo?, featuring twelve pastel paintings by Tony Ortega that trace a young boy’s journey of self-discovery. These original works, created for the children’s book co-written with George Rivera, reflect Ortega’s exploration of identity, language, and belonging.
Rooted in memories of summers spent with his grandmother in Pecos, New Mexico, Ortega’s art celebrates the beauty of cultural inheritance and creative expression. Each image transforms memory into meaning — weaving color, light, and story into a meditation on what it means to find one’s place between worlds and to call a place home.
