Santa Fe Stories from the Inside Out

Santa Fe Art Institute and Littleglobe collaboration: Santa Fe Stories from the Inside Out.

Santa Fe Art Institute (SFAI) and Littleglobe are two Santa Fe-based arts nonprofits committed to collaboration as a way to more deeply support artists, creative practitioners, culture bearers and the broader Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico community. “Santa Fe Stories from the Inside Out” are a collection of Littleglobe TV (LGTV) episodes and SFAI Tilt podcasts that bring to the surface the histories and experiences of the people who make Santa Fe a diverse, creative place to live and work. Through this partnership the two organizations are able to create meaningful relationships that empower individuals and communities and reflect the power of our social imagination by engaging in complex social issues that inspire individual transformation, and inform collective action.

LGTV Episode “Spring Forward” is a hyper-local co-authored 45-minute episode that features stories from Santa Fe’s Midtown Campus including pieces driven by poetry, music, and video work from poet Hakim Bellamy, artist Mya Green, trumpeter Delbert Anderson, filmmaker/composer Dan Stephensen as well as Santa Fe Art Institute and Little Globe team members.

SFAI’s Tilt podcast invites listeners to see complex issues in new ways through the lens of creativity and “Walking Midtown” explores the liminality of edges and perimeters - the physical realities and poetical possibilities of the Midtown Site where the Santa Fe Art Institute is located. How does containment—walls, fences, dry acequias, and roads—create different barriers or opportunities? The experiences of the perimeter are addressed in conversations with SFAI alumni Hakim Bellamy and Ehren Kee Natay, who walk the site with Tilt producer Kourtney Andar.

Both episodes explore walls, roads, barriers, and accessibility to the Santa Fe Midtown Site and provide new and unique insights into stories of Midtown’s past, present and future.
