True NM Art Exhibition 2025: SONKE (All of Us)
Don’t miss this collaboration between NMBLC, the NM Asian Family Center, and a cohort of 10 exciting young Black and AAPINH (Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Native Hawaiian) artists! These artists challenge the tricultural myth by telling their own, true New Mexican stories through the lens of art. This exciting event is free!
SONKE is NMBLC’s theme for 2025. The word “Sonke” means “all of us” in Zulu. We use it to sum up our shared journey and the unification of New Mexico’s rich and diverse communities. Plus, it gives us a nifty acronym: Sharing Our Narratives, Knowledge, and Experiences.
