Mesmerizing shapes and continuous flurries of reoccurring patterns can be found throughout the Maize Maze taking place in the Rio Grande Community Farm.
By Moriah Carty“Every year when summer fades into fall, you get the hints, the early mornings starts to cool off, the greenness of the trees begin to dial back, all of your senses waken up, you smell chile roasting in the air, and you smell alfalfa, you hear the balloons in the air and you know it’s fall.” But Matt Schmader, Open Space Division superintendent, said “it isn’t fall until the maze is open.” The farm opened this year after a yearlong break because of the drought, he said.
By Graham GentzA horror story about marriage? Tell me something I don’t know.And here I thought this was a documentary.The premise and metaphor of “Honeymoon,” the writing and directing debut of Leigh Janiak, are pretty straightforward: a newly married couple honeymoon at a small cottage by a lake, and upon sleepwalking in the woods one night, the wife begins acting irrevocably strange.
Ding-dong! The Witch is Dead!Wait. Just kidding.
What’s in a name? Judging by the uproar surrounding UNM’s Sex Week, quite a bit.Sex Week, co-organized by the Women’s Health Resource Center and Self Serve Sexuality Resource Center, was designed to stress the importance of consent and raise awareness about sexual assaults, but not everyone was happy with the execution of the event.

We all have that go-to favorite that we read over and over again throughout our lives.
It's really difficult to write about something so surreal.“As Five Years Pass” is functionally a play.
The green woman is caught. Armed guards block the doors, and she knows it’s the end. The door bursts open; bayonets are leveled at her face. With a devilish laugh, she soars upward and over the men — her green skin illuminating the dark stage — and finally reveals her wicked identity. And that ends the first act of the production of “Wicked” at Popejoy Hall.Among the many strengths of “Wicked,” humor stands out in particular. Glinda the Good (played by Chandra Schwartz) is a ditzy blonde who likes to frolic on stage in pink. Her character is the most comedic of the bunch, and most of her jokes are directed toward her own silliness. Schwartz delivers her performance with perfection and grace.

An interdimensional rift opens up at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and soon all of humanity will be wiped from the planet.
