A woman intensely digs through a trash can to mollify her hunger for rancid pork. When she finds her prize, she shovels it greedily into her mouth. If this scene sounds disturbing, it’s because it’s meant to be.
The room buzzes with energy, the tablecloths are splattered with acrylic rainbows, a pottery wheel spins actively in one corner and the sounds of laughter and guitar mingle with one another. The story we hear about the homeless is one of survival; the story ArtStreet tells is one of life.
One overtime game between New Mexico and Wyoming weren’t enough. They needed a second in their return game Wednesday night at The Pit.
