Black and AAPINH youth dismantle the tri-cultural myth with \u201cOutside the Shell\u201d art exhibit.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The New Mexico Black Leadership Council<\/a> and New Mexico Asian Family Center<\/a> join forces once again for True New Mexico<\/a> 2022. The True NM anti-racism youth art project launched in 2021 with an online photo exhibit<\/a> and a show at the May ArtWalk<\/a>. This year a new group of Black and AAPINH youth are creating \u201cOutside the Shell.\u201d The title is inspired by writer and cultural anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell.\u201d <\/p>\u2014 Zora Neale Hurston<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The vision behind True NM is to deconstruct the tri-cultural myth: that New Mexico is a place where Hispanics, Indigenous, and Anglo people live together in harmony. The problems with this myth is that it ignores ongoing racism and erases the experiences of Asian American Pacific Islander Native Hawaiian (AAPINH) and Black people in New Mexico. The True NM project consists of youth artists from the Black and AAPINH communities. Their artwork answers the prompt, \u201cWhat\u2019s your True New Mexican story?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us Saturday, May 28th, 2022 for the \u201cOutside the Shell\u201d art exhibit. The show runs from 1:00 to 3:00PM and takes place at the NMBLC office in the heart of the International District of Albuquerque: 1258 Ortiz Dr. SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
