SITE Santa Fe is pleased to present an exhibition of 23 artists and 34 artworks curated by our 2023 cohort of Young Curators exploring growth, healing, and intergenerational trauma.

Artworks in this exhibition were selected by SITE Santa Fe’s nine Young Curators through an open call for art addressing the following questions:

How has your generational trauma affected those around you and your family relationships? How has it affected the way you love yourself and others? How has your identity and the way you view it been affected by your trauma? How has your trauma affected your mental health and how has it healed?

516 ARTS announces our first exhibition of 2023, Artists as Knowledge Carriers, which features the work of New Mexico artists who are mentors of a new generation of artists. As art professors in higher education – including New Mexico State University (NMSU), the University of New Mexico (UNM), Central New Mexico Community College (CNM), the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), and Santa Fe Community College (SFCC) – these artists are guiding emerging artists into the future. Their role is essential in cultivating critical and informed intellects in the realms of contemporary art and global culture. This exhibition looks at the artistic production of the mentors themselves, whose practices reveal their own unique visions, rigor, and dedication to their craft, including photography, sculpture, painting, film, and textile art. Artists include: Jamison Chās Banks (Seneca-Cayuga), Stefan Jennings Batista, Craig Cully, Marcella (Kwe) Ernest (Ojibwe), Welly Fletcher, Motoko Furuhashi, Mayumi Nishida, Jazmin Novak (Diné), Daisy Quezada Ureña, Jim Rivera (Yoeme/Pascua Yaqui), Carissa Samaniego, Will Wilson (Diné), and Stephanie J. Woods.

Curator Rachelle Pablo says “In the rapidly shifting era of the pandemic and social justice reckoning, art professors’ commitment to their students remains strong. Their teaching spans artistic methodologies, cultural discernment, and a variety of skills to navigate the art world and creative economy.” Artists as Knowledge Carriers is curated by 516 ARTS Curator Rachelle B. Pablo (Diné) with input from curatorial consultant Leslie Moody Castro. It is presented in conjunction with Together Through as Within at New Mexico State University Art Museum (January 20 - March 12, 2023), which focuses on NMSU Department of Art faculty and is curated by Mexico City based Leslie Moody Castro. That exhibition features the work of Christopher Barday, Tauna Cole, Craig Cully, Brita d’Agostino, Maggie Day, Jeffrey Erwin, Motoko Furuhashi, Michelle Haberl, Carissa Samaniego, Rebecca Smith, Bree Lamb/Muscle Memory + Joshua Clark/Muscle Memory.
