KNME-TV (Television station : Albuquerque, N.M.) · 2017

New Mexico santero Nicholas Herrera (a.k.a. El Santero de Rito) weaves contemporary storytelling with traditional folk art. “The thing about folk art is it’s something from the soul, it’s nothing you read in a book. It’s something you live, something that lives in you, that’s what folk art is all about.” The Russian punk band and art collective Pussy Riot stopped in Albuquerque on their Revolution Tour. Maria "Masha" Alyokhina takes a stand against war, corruption, and the suppression of freedom. Alyokhina is interviewed by Megan Kamerick. “To change something, to overcome things such as nationalism, sexism or racism we should be together. It’s not like some symbol or seer will come and help everybody. It doesn’t work like that. Only together can we change everything.” Legendary filmmaker Godfrey Reggio shares the vision behind his films and insights into his new film “The Holysee” “We’re blinded, we aren’t seeing the world we live in. Art can help us re-see that world.”
