Revolutionary multi-media artist Virgil Ortiz is the current artist in residence at MAM. Especially once the sun sets, his installation Odyssey of the Venutian Soldiers illuminates the Laurie Art Stairway, which is visible from outside the museum building at the corner of Bloomfield Ave. and St. Luke’s Place.  Join MAM Conversations as we virtually visit Ortiz in New Mexico.  We’ll discuss his ever-growing, futuristic retelling of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt and how he is adding to the story. Curator Emeritus of Virgil Ortiz: Odyssey of the Venutian Soldiers, Pamela Jardine, will provide an introduction.

MAM Conversations presented by the Babson Lecture Series will take place on Thursdays at 6 p.m. from June 11 through August 28 via Zoom Webinars. Closed captioning is provided. For more information, contact Alison Van Denend, Assistant Curator, at [email protected]
