Reception Feb. 13th 4-6pm
John Sommers Gallery
UNM Art Building 2nd floor lobby
In Fall 2024 Moving Image Arts students created short experimental films to accompany JustWrite anthology poems authored by participants while they were incarcerated. The resulting collaboration opened unexpected windows into shared experience. The exhibition’s catalogue conjures visions of hope, suffering, joy, and endurance. It offers startling portraits of home and reveals the fine threaded web of meaning which connects all of us in our day to day lives.
Curated by Diahndra Grill, Eden Radfarr, Wren Hall Hartley and Sonya Burke.
Film & Digital Arts alumni nominated for a Sports Emmy
Film & Digital Arts alumnus Fritz Bitsoie—a father, husband, Diné/Navajo filmmaker, and cultural storyteller—is now an Emmy-nominated director. His documentary Through The Storm captures the 2023 Red Lake Nation (Ojibwe) high school football season, chronicling a team's fight to revive its legacy amid a decades-long losing streak. More than a sports story, the film explores personal struggles, resilience, and how football becomes a symbol of hope and unity for the Red Lake community.
