SUMMARY:Reading: Dr. Irene Blea
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 4\, 2026\n12:30 – 2:00 pm \nNHCC | Salon Ortega \nJoin the NHCC for National Poetry Month! We are honored to once again host award-winning author Dr Irene Blea. She will be reading from her book of poems\, Dragonfly\, along with brand-new poetry material. \nRESERVE YOUR TICKETS HERE! \nIn this collection of fifty years of her poetry\, Dr. Irene I. Blea brazenly relates her efforts to understand what she thought was wrong with her. She came to an understanding of social and historical factors that misinformed her colonized mind. Decolonization demanded evaluating her mind\, body\, and spirit. She portrays decolonization as a complex process involving the rejection and redefinition of the colonizer’s language\, embracing her own tri-cultural history\, and commitment to ongoing learning and growth. This is a process that requires dedication and struggle to create a more just and equitable world. Irene Blea shares her transformation from the prescription of traditional female roles riddled by confusion and conflict to guide us to peace\, and understanding of the physical\, psychological\, and spiritual process that brought her to what it means to be a female human in a sometimes-hostile world. \nThe author writes: “On January 1\, 2024\, I opened my eyes and asked into the crispness of my bedroom if I would die that year. I have been obsessed with my death for decades and wrote about it in my autobiography\, Erené with Wolf Medicine. The room responded with\, ‘I don’t know.’ I decided to rise and make some coffee. I have outlived most of my friends\, and several seniors of my extended family. I do not want to die at home on a sweltering summer afternoon when everyone is working and not be found for a week bloated and smelling on the bathroom or kitchen floor. If I must leave this world\, it should be after viewing the golden firefly that visits me in my yard each year one more time. \n“I am not okay living to a hundred\, but do not want to die before I inform you that throughout my life\, I wrote much poetry and that I was one of few women at the forefront of Chicano literature. This type of poetry was an important literary movement. Chicano and Chicana poetry was rooted in resistance to class discrimination\, racism\, and sexism. Early poets of the time created a genre that added to American literature another category. We had unique philosophical\, topical\, and aesthetic features different from the divisions of genres of the time. This literary movement provided language for comparing\, contrasting\, and discussing literary words and works\, and served as an introduction to the formation of curricula and anthologies.” \nFree community event. \nReading: Irene Blea | New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs

SUMMARY:Film Screening - Mi America: A Journey of Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 19\, 2026\n2:00 pm \nNHCC | Bank of America Theatre \n“Mi América: A Journey of Discovery is a documentary film that follows an uncle and nephew as they return to Northern New Mexico to reconnect with the land\, culture\, and community that shaped their family for more than 400 years. \nPLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATION HERE! \nWhat begins as a personal journey becomes an exploration of history\, identity\, and discovery. Through interviews\, landscapes\, music\, and lived experience\, Mi América examines the region’s deep religious and cultural traditions\, revealing how history has been preserved and passed down across generations. \nThe documentary also confronts difficult chapters of the past\, including the assimilation of children in schools\, where students were punished for speaking their native language. It addresses the long history of land grants that were stolen or stripped away\, and the resistance movements that emerged in the 1960s as communities fought to protect their ancestral land rights. \nAt its core\, Mi América is about belonging—how culture survives\, how memory endures\, and how the stories we inherit shape who we are”. \nPlease join us for a pre-screening performance with special guest\, Isaac Aragon\, who will open the event. Isaac Aragon is a native New Mexican deeply rooted in blues and soul. Isaacs politically charged musical message promotes love\, peace\, and social justice. Open your heart\, free your mind… And let the healing begin. \nFree community event. Please let us know who will be attending below. \nPLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATION HERE! \n\nClick on photo to enlarge
