2021: Fort Sumner/Bosque Redondo

New Mexico Arts teamed up with New Mexico Historic Sites and the Fort Sumner Local Selection Committee to present T.I.M.E. NOW 2021 – Temporary Installations Made for the Environment - in Fort Sumner, NM. New Mexico artists were asked to propose artworks inspired by the local history of the area, while incorporating a strong community engagement component that provides enrichment. This exhibition also coincides with the 2021 opening of a new exhibit: Bosque Redondo: A Place of Suffering… A Place of Survival. In collaboration with the Navajo Nation and the Mescalero Apache Tribe, the exhibit was created to tell a more truthful account of the history of Fort Sumner and the Bosque Redondo Indian Reservation. The Fort Sumner Historic Site/Bosque Redondo Memorial is this year’s host site.

Four Artists/Artist Teams were selected to participate: 

Paula Castillo

Miriam Diddy, Sarah Diddy, Winoka Yepa, and Garron Yepa

Mark Horst

Sara Rivera and Amaris Ketcham
