OUR LATEST WORK

RECONCILIATION

Dr. Estevan was invited to curate this exhibition at IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Native American and Indo-Hispano artists collaborated to create new art work that centers on truth, racial healing and transformation, grounded in the promise of reconciliation. It responds to decades of activism and negotiations that culminated in the 2018 decision to discontinue “La Entrada,” a 20th century pageant inaccurately portraying the reconquest of Santa Fé.  https://iaia.edu/event/reconciliation/
