Earthseed Black Arts Alliance New Mexico is a Black-led organization inspired by the science fiction of the great Octavia Butler. Earthseed focuses on centering and amplifying Black voices in Northern New Mexico as well as collaborating with Indigenous artists, artists of color, and the city’s arts community as a whole. Earthseed Black Arts Alliance believes artists are both at the forefront of change and are critical to the preservation of culture. Earthseed Black Arts Alliance believes Black art has enormous healing potential and is a powerful tool for necessary communication, expression, and validation. Representation matters! and Black artists in New Mexico need to be represented and centered in the courageous conversations we are all having at the national level and at the micro-level.

The Moving Southwest Dance Festival, presented by Museum of Dance, celebrates the rich diversity of Northern New Mexico’s dance culture, cultivating community through global dance classes, performances, dance cinema, and panel discussions. The festival harnesses community engagement by creating collaborative spaces where movers of all abilities and intentions can come together to explore the language of dance through the depth and breadth of Southwestern dance artists.
