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

Artifacts used to make chocolate tell a delicious history of the Americas and New Mexico. “Chocolate or "Theobroma Cacao," which means food of the Gods, is a drink that shares thousands of years of history.”—Nicolasa Chávez, curator). After an extraordinary childhood in Russia, Albuquerque painter Julia Lambright finds connection with her past. “I could vocalize through the brush something I couldn’t say, something so personal and deeply traumatic was for me now liberated with this imagery and ideas and symbols.” National Dance Institute’s Evelyn Cisneros-Legate, once the prima ballerina for the San Francisco Ballet, is passionate about making ballet accessible to young people. Cisneros-Legate is interviewed by Hakim Bellamy. “We want to give them a better life than what we had and so we want to give them our best, which is our art.”
