Summary:

"Once Within a Time draws inspiration from a cast of characters with ties to Santa Fe and New Mexico... [T]he 12th International places storytelling at its heart, exploring New Mexico's multilayered histories through the lens of more than ninety participants. The exhibition revolves around a vibrant collection of over twenty characters--or figures of interest--with close ties to the Southwest. This diverse cast encompasses local heroes, mythical beings, unassuming residents, reclusive artists, distinctive writers, and charismatic healers. The biographies of these people--incarnated in a collection of artifacts, documents, images, and objects--function as catalysts for over seventy local, national, and international artists. Many of the featured artists have created new work that responds, directly or indirectly, to the experiences and lore of these figures. The commissions are shown here alongside contemporary works from around the world, offering insights into the region's rich history and its artistic and literary heritage. Conceived as a vast family album, Once Within a Time centers people--specifically, those who have inhabited, traversed, or left their mark upon the Santa Fe region across the centuries. Transcending a singular theme or narrative, the 12th SITE SANTA FE International manifests as a symphony of voices, engaging with the city of Santa Fe and its myriad identities and tales."--sitesantafe.org
