Vol. 9 — Living Histories
In this issue, we consider the idea of history as something that is not buried in the past, but something that lives within each of us. These living histories manifest in many ways: the ways we speak, the ways we make or look at art, the stories we tell ourselves.
Here in the Southwest, out of contested and obscured histories, art serves as a container of cultural memory and a testament to humanity, weaving together threads between generations and piecing together a picture more nuanced and whole.
In this issue, we begin with footprints from pre-history and continue through histories of kin, real and conjured. We hear from authors and artists whose work reimagines and reconnects to histories that are under-told or underrecognized, that span generations and communities.
In our features, Camille LeFevre explores the legacy of Surrealism in Sedona, Arizona, in the house shared by Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning. Artist Brent Holmes reconstructs the story of the Barton brothers, two Black homesteaders in Nevada, finding a kinship in shared experience. Jordan Eddy contends with revisionist art history in attempts to recast Hopi-Tewa potter Nampeyo as an iconic modernist. Emily Arntsen speaks with author and researcher Emma Kemp, who has been writing about an obscure New Age commune while living on its abandoned grounds in rural Utah. In Colorado, Denise Zubizarreta looks at issues of mural preservation and artwashing in communities threatened by gentrification. And, as a coda, artist nicholas b jacobsen uncovers a history of displacement buried under a monument to a pioneer past.
