SUMMARY:Curator Walk-Through: Route 66: A Deep Imagining
DESCRIPTION:Blue Sky NM and Harwood Art Center have partnered to present the SURFACE: Emerging Artists of New Mexico Alumni Satellite Gallery—a space for experimentation\, conversation\, and continued creative practice in the heart of Albuquerque’s Nob Hill. The collaboration supports the visibility and viability of SURFACE alumni while creating new pathways for emerging creative voices. \nAt the center of this exhibition is inaugural curatorial fellow Jakia Fuller\, who will lead guests through Route 66: A Deep Imagining\, featuring work by Christian Gallegos\, Ben Roe Jr.\, and Jen H. Doolittle. \nAs the centennial of Route 66 approaches\, the exhibition turns away from the familiar mythology of the Mother Road and toward the stories that linger beneath\, beside\, and beyond it. Through explorations of place\, collective consciousness\, and lived experience\, the artists consider the narratives that may have coincided with this historic passage—and those still unfolding along its path. \nMoving between past\, present\, and imagined futures\, Route 66: A Deep Imagining asks audiences to look again at a road so often reduced to nostalgia. Jakia’s guided walkthrough invites guests deeper into the exhibition’s connections\, tensions\, and possibilities\, creating space to consider Route 66 not simply as a road\, but as a layered landscape shaped by memory\, environment\, movement\, and human experience.

SUMMARY:Artist Talks & Closing Reception: Route 66: A Deep Imagining
DESCRIPTION:Blue Sky NM and Harwood Art Center have partnered to present a special SURFACE: Emerging Artists of New Mexico Alumni Satellite Gallery—an ongoing collaboration supporting the continued practice\, visibility\, and viability of Harwood’s SURFACE alumni\, alongside a new curatorial fellowship inaugurally held by Jakia Fuller. \nJoin artists Christian Gallegos\, Ben Roe Jr.\, and Jen H. Doolittle for a conversation around Route 66: A Deep Imagining and the ideas\, questions\, and narratives informing their work. \nAs the centennial of Route 66 approaches\, the exhibition looks beyond the familiar mythology and nostalgia of the historic road to consider the stories that exist beneath\, alongside\, and beyond its well-traveled narrative. Through distinct explorations of place\, collective consciousness\, and lived experience\, the artists imagine the many realities that may have coincided with this historic passage and those continuing to unfold along its path. \nMoving between past\, present\, and possible futures\, the conversation will explore Route 66 as more than a road or cultural icon\, but as a layered landscape shaped by memory\, environment\, labor\, movement\, and the daily lives of those who have lived and worked along its route.
