Media Advisory: New Mexico Arts Hosts Instagram Live Artist Talk with Marcus Xavier Chormicle

Chormicle is the New Mexico Arts 2024 Lincoln Historic Site Artist-In-Residence

Hello everyone,

New Mexico Arts will be hosting an Instagram Live artist talk with Marcus Xavier Chormicle, the New Mexico Arts 2024 Lincoln Historic Site Artist-In-Residence.

What: Join New Mexico Arts (NMA) on Instagram Live for a 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.

Who: New Mexico Arts and New Mexico Historic Sites

When: Monday, March 18, 6 p.m.

Where: Online on Instagram, @newmexicoarts

Why: 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.

Let me know if you’d like more information or photos.

Sincerely, Christina
