Join New Mexico Arts (NMA) on Instagram Live for a virtual conversation with NMA 2024 Artist-in-Residence, Marcus Xavier Chormicle (Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians/Chicano), a Las Cruces-based multidisciplinary photographer who has been in residence at Lincoln Historic Site in Lincoln, New Mexico, since late February. The virtual talk will be held Monday, March 18, 6 p.m. on New Mexico Arts’ Instagram account, @newmexicoarts.
The mission of the NMA Artist-in-Residence Program, in partnership with New Mexico Historic Sites, is to increase awareness of significant state cultural sites through the lens of contemporary creatives. While in residence, Chormicle is exploring the legacy of the Oryx species in Southern New Mexico as it relates to colonizing histories of land and peoples in the region. He intends to deepen his understanding of the Oryx habitat as well as create visual representations of the animal across the Lincoln Forest, Sacramento Mountains and surrounding communities.
