Wanderlust

“The experience taught us that getting lost isn’t something to avoid, but to embrace.”- The Lost Girls: Three Friends. Four Continents. One Unconventional Detour Around the World. Traveling around the nations and some countries teaches people to become creative and keep the mind active. It challenges yourself and build resilience, while realizing who you are. If I could give one piece of advice to all students, it would to travel. This place might change your life or not, but you will experience an adventure that you never have before.

Fiestas: Center Stage

Thousands of UNM students and Albuquerque locals attended the annual UNM Fiestas this year. People came out to see the headliners Skizzy Mars and Gramatik, along with a whole slew of other musical artists. Almost everyone who attended the music festival only saw the shows from the perspective of looking up from the crowd; I wanted to give people a more personal and close-up look at the people who were playing on stage, and their perspective of the audience.

Cafe Istanbul: A Taste of Home

It all started with one shelf of spices and Middle Eastern goods. The need for Middle Eastern products in Albuquerque is what inspired the Aggad family to open Cafe Istanbul. Originally from Palestine, the Aggad’s moved to Columbus, Ohio before making their way to Albuquerque. Since the market’s opening, Cafe Istanbul has been an important part of the community. Customers have shown tremendous support to the Aggad family by bringing them flowers, thank you cards and hugs. “It’s really a blessing,” cafe owner Itadel Aggad said. “We are really blessed to know that people come and they care. We share stories, we share laughs, we share hugs in hard times like Trump’s (election). People would come and say ‘Can I have a hug?’ It means the world. Anytime you communicate with people, it’s the best feeling...and it makes you feel good that they are happy.”

Desert Hearts Festival

This was quite the experience for myself and my friends — going to an unknown music festival that is relatively small but well known for having the best atmosphere and great people. The Desert Hearts Music Festival is tucked deep in the hills of Southern California on a Native American reservation called Los Coyotes. The music festival lasted a full weekend, with the music playing nonstop from Friday at 10 a.m. until Monday at 4 p.m. This experience was like no other, and I knew I wanted to share some photos of it. So many unique people from around the world came together to experience the four-day event just to dance the winter night away. I would recommend this music festival for easy-going techno lovers and for those looking for a culture-based event where complete strangers become family overnight. And for those wondering, it is a 21-and-up event, so it was the party of a lifetime. Please enjoy these photos and others under my Instagram (@itschiddy) and my website somethingchiddy.com

He Will Not Divide Us Come to ABQ

Actor and activist Shia Labeouf relaunched his installment "He Will Not Divide Us" outside the El Rey theatre in Albuquerque on Saturday, eliciting the help and support of Red Nation. After the launch, a crowd of around fifty people chanted "he will not divide us" and other anti-Trump sentiments outside the installment. Labeouf's original installment of "he will not divide us," located at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, New YorkCity, was recently shut down for “a serious and ongoing public safety hazard for the Museum, its visitors, staff, local residents, and businesses,” and becoming “a flashpoint for violence,” according to a statement from the Museum's website. The project was initially launched on President Trump’s inauguration day on and was intended to run through the entirety of his first term as president.

Stranded at Standing Rock

On my trip back home from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota a blizzard rolled in and crippled the road system in the Dakotas. -23 mile per hour wind gusts would hit the roads and freeze them instantly. I found refuge in a gymnasium in the small town of Mclaughlin, South Dakota, where a loving family was accepting travelers who needed shelter.I spent two nights bundled up with others to wait the storm out. I heard stories from Lakota elders, strategized driving routes with weary travelers and spoke with people from all around the world. I’ve never met people so giving and loving, and all within the insides of a gymnasium.
