INSIDE LOOKING OUT: TWO TAOS PUEBLO IMAGE MAKERS EXHIBIT OPENS AT MARTINEZ
HACIENDA

Taos - Taos Historic Museums presents Inside Looking Out: Two Taos Pueblo
Image Makers, a photographic exhibition by Bruce Gomez (Taos
Pueblo/Navajo) and Rick Romancito (Taos Pueblo/Zuni). The opening
reception is Thursday, June 12 from 5:30 to 8 pm at la Hacienda de los
Martinez on Lower Ranchitos Road.

Both of these visionary artists use images from their tribal culture and
contemporary society to interpret the land and peoples of northern New
Mexico and the world. Their individual viewpoints as Native American
photographers offer the unique perspective of artists on the inside of  an
ancient and enduring culture looking out to the wider world of 21st
century America and beyond,

Gomez is an Indian Market and Southwestern Association for Indian Arts
(SWAIA) award winner for his color photography.

A short film by Rick Romancito won the 2006 New Mexico Governor’s Cup
Short Screenplay Competition, Sponsored by the National Geographic All
Roads Film Project and the New Mexico Film Office for his film Benito’s
Gift.

The exhibit runs through July 31, 2008. For more information please call
758-0505 or visit our website www.taoshistoricmuseums.org.

4 pm and on Sunday from noon to 4 pm. Admission is $8 for adults, $4 for
children. A Saver Card is available for $12 for admission to both of our
