“Bycatch” – An Artistic Homage to the Throwaways

(Published by Zocalo Magazine on March 2, 2017.) The sound of waves lapping on the side of a fishing boat sonically greets you when entering the Hanson Gallery at The University of Arizona Museum of Art. It emanates from a small computer speaker in the corner, subtly broadcasting the audio associated with the 14-foot-wide, 10-foot-tall video projection on the room’s east wall. As you turn to watch the video projection, your eyes pause to take in the bar table in the middle of the room. … [Read more...]

¡Viva Casa Libre!

(Published by Zocalo Magazine on January 5, 2017.) “This is a place that has always catered to people’s passions,” explains Kristen Nelson, cofounder and current, but soon-to-be previous, executive director of literary arts nonprofit Casa Libre en la Solana. “It’s a place where people with a passion, idea or concept could say, ‘Hey, I want to do this,’ and Casa Libre would say, ‘Yes, how can we help you?’” Nelson makes it clear that the writing center she’s helmed for over 13 years is … [Read more...]

Breaking the Silence

(Published by Zocalo Magazine on August 25, 2015.) Cristina Devereaux Ramírez’s Feminist Recovery Project Cristina Devereaux Ramírez speaks with verve and passion when she talks about the Mexican women journalists she covers in her recently-released UA Press book. Her eyes flash with light and fire. This passion is good, and required. It’s important and time-consuming research that Ramírez is conducting, saving and sharing. “All of these women were doing something absolutely unheard of … [Read more...]

KXCI Focuses on the Future

(Published by Zocalo Magazine on April 5, 2015.) It’s mid-morning on a beautiful spring day in late March; I’ve got my car windows down while cruising downtown to KXCI, situated in the historic Armory Park neighborhood. I’m listening to Tucson’s community radio station en route, located on the left end of the dial at 91.3FM. Staff members are in full membership drive mode, pitching away with contagious enthusiasm. “We’ve come a long way in 31 years,” says Traffic Director Melissa Mauzy … [Read more...]

Women in the Workforce: We’ve Come a Long Way

(Published by Zocalo Magazine on March 4, 2015.) On Saturday, March 21, the UA Bookstore’s first floor is set to become a portal to the past when a salon – featuring music and discussion – on the women’s movement takes place. The UA Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry’s event, part of the Creative Collaborations series, is looking back at the middle of the 20th century when a seismic paradigm shift occurred in the United States; the shift from men mostly running things to women entering … [Read more...]
