Burque Unite
October 29, 2022 @ 5:00 am - 12:00 pm
Burque Unite is a University of New Mexico Honors Thesis Exhibition by Gerald Lovato. This event is a behavioral health service-oriented thesis show, which aims to function as an interactive community forum using art for healing while creating conversations between youth, adults, and elders in the community. This event will be a safe space for the community to share their stories, with many different resources and providers available. Lovato’s work aims to break the stigma around behavioral health and to remind everyone that change and recovery, and ending violence is possible. The exhibition will include a gallery of paintings, sculptures, sound art, photography, and a live art performance piece. There will also be a “celebration of life” interactive lunch (free and open to the public) including a Dia de los Muertos altar installation where the community is invited to participate by bringing photos and ofrendas for their loved ones.
