Spring 2022 photo contest winners

First place: Valerie Chavez This photo is taken of my mother, Yvonne Chavez, at the Harwood Museum of Art in Taos while standing in front of the piece by Dorothy Eugénie Brett “Christmas Eve at Taos Pueblo” (1961). While we walked around the museum, my mother and I saw reflections of our New Mexican identity and history in the pieces displayed. My mother has always worn Southwestern-style clothing, and on this day, I am grateful she decided to wear her beloved black cowboy hat.
