AppendixAppendices K 154 Appendix L Seed Story: City of Dreamers

Part I Erase una vez una ciudad en la cual cultivación era un base de unidad. El tiempo la forzó al olvido. Las acequias ya no fluían, ya no había ni crianzas. Sin agua y poca lluvia las huertas se secaron y fueron cortadas. Poco a poco, el pavimento fue colocado. Where there had once been cultivation, time had forced forgetting in a city that once thrived on unity. The ditches no longer flowed, connecting this city and nurturing it. With no water and little rain, orchards dried up and were cut down. In time, yards were paved over and forgotten.

Muchos se fueron y los que antes cultivaban la tierra, ahora laboran, lavando platos y construyendo carreteras. Como muchas huertas olvidadas, ahora estos lugares se encuentran plagados de hierro doblado, vidrio roto y cemento cubierto con grafiti. Many had left and those that had once cultivated the land, now labored washing dishes and building roads. Like many yards, this former orchard had become a forgotten place, littered with bent iron, broken glass and concrete covered with graffiti.

One day, the wind caught a seed and blew it into this yard. The lone seed had been carried hundred of miles from the south, sent into the wind with the hope of its survival. Although far away from its origins, the seed carried the memory of a great lineage —of lush forests and orchards, of places that had once cherished seeds.

Un dia el viento soplo una semilla hacia a el campo. Esta semilla solitaria, con la esperanza de sobrevivir, volo cientos de millas hacia el sur. Ya lejos de sus orígenes, la semilla llevaba con ella grandes memorias de gran linage- de bosques lozanos y huertas, de lugares que apreciaban las semillas. This seed was not the only one. Some had come from other places, some from this neighborhood. Each had stories, memory and hope coiled inside, encouraging tenacity and will.

Esta semilla no era la única. Algunas han venido de otros sitios, algunas de este vecindario. Cada semilla retenía esperanza enroscada dentro de si, generando tenacidad y poder. The little seed traveled across the barren yard, blown on top of hard concrete, until it rolled itself into a crack.

La pequeña semilla viajó por el campo árido, soplada encima de cemento duro, hasta que se tiró en una grieta del cemen- to. The harsh wind spoke, “You will never succeed. You will never become a tree or amount to anything. Like all the others in this place, you too will fail.” The seed decided not to listen.

El cruel viento hablo, “Nunca tendras exito. Nunca serás un árbol ni serás nada en la vida. Como todos los demás en este lugar, tu tambien fallaras.” La semilla decidido no escuchar. It knew it had to break through the barrier of hard, unyielding concrete.

Sabía que tenía que romper la barrera del cemento inflexible y duro. One day, came thunder, followed by a single raindrop. This singular bit of water encouraged the seed to send out a shoot, pushing itself out of its barrier, believing it could succeed.

Un día, vino un rayo, seguido por una sola gota de lluvia. Esta singular gota de agua alentó a la semilla a esforzarse, em- pujandose lejos de su barrera, creyendo que sí podría tener éxito. The seed grew into a sapling, its roots struggling against the concrete, but its green leaves shimmering in the sun, encouraging it to grow.

La semilla creció a ser un árbol joven, sus raíces batallaban contra el cemento, pero sus relucientes hojas verdes brillaban con el sol, alimentandola su crecimiento.

155 Appendix L Part II

Un dia, un niño encontró un camino hacia el campo adonde estaba el árbol joven sentado, absorbiendo los rayos del sol. El niño trajo a otros niños para ayudarlo hacer a un lado al hierro, vidrios y cemento. One day, a child found a pathway into the yard where the young tree sat absorbing the sun. e child brought other children the next day to help push away the iron, broken glass and concrete.

Al ver los ninos un vecino les ofreció agua y fertilizante. Al día siguiente, algunas abuelitas se reunieron para hacerle una poza al árbol para capturar la lluvia. Seeing the children over the wall, a neighbor oered some water and fertilizer. e next day, the grandmothers built a berm to capture the rain.

Día tras día, con este ayuda, comenzó a crecer, fuerte y vibrante, alcanzando el hermoso cielo. Con el tiempo el vecindario se empezó a reunir alrededor de él. En toda la ciudad, la gente comenzó a llevar semillas y a plantarlas. Day after day, with this encouragement, it began to grow strong and vibrant, reaching for the beautiful sky. In time, the entire neighborhood began to gather around it. All across the city, people started to take the few seeds and planted them.

Con el tiempo, los árboles crecieron por todos lados. In time, trees were growing everywhere.

Unos produjeron frutas, ores y muchas más semillas. Otros sirvieron de leña. La madera, se convirtió en casas, escuelas y lugares de alabanza. Some produced fruit and owers and more seeds. Others served as the wood for res. e wood was also transformed into houses, schools, and places of worship, that invited others in.

Hicieron bancos y mesas, donde cantaban canciones, y juntaban a la familia, y a nuevos amigos. ey made benches and tables, where they sang songs, gathered family, and new friends.

Hicieron papel y lápices. Diarios y dibujos. Canciones e historias sobre sueños de arbolitos, que con un poco mas animo, crecieron altos y fuertes. ey made paper and pencils. Diaries and drawings. Songs and stories. Stories about dreams of sprouts, that with a little extra encouragement, will grow tall and strong.

is is our story, and your story, a story of a city of dreamers. Esta es nuestra historia, tú historia, y la historia de una ciudad de soñadores.

Appendix L-M 156 Appendix N A Storied-Sensory Map -

As a part of the initiative for the City of Santa Fe, Culture Connects Santa Fe - A Prototype Sensory Map, a pilot geo-cultural map of the community’s cultural assets, also began development. Consistent with sensory and story maps being created around the world, our prototype used a particular framework that is distinct. This project was an effort to depict culture in a new way — perhaps unexpected but also different from websites or mobile device apps such as Yelp, where theaters, museums or other cultural venues and events and programming are easily found.

Instead, with the objective to creatively illuminate the community’s broad cultural assets, our prototype complemented a set of questions and a core component of the initiative. The framework is based on a methodology that accentuates the power of the human senses. During the Public Engagement, as a part of the effort to broaden the conversation about the definitions of culture, the question was asked what Santa Fe culture looks, sounds, smells, tastes, and feels lik. This same set of questions has defined the structure for the map, illuminating users to experience Santa Fe by listening more closely to what they hear; seeing more clearly what they look at; illustrating how taste and smell are guided by the savory and aromatic alike; and, inviting a closer tactile relationship to what they feel.

The early stages of conceptualization of the pilot project began at Santa Fe University of Art and Design, where a team of students, primarily from Studio Arts and Photography departments, met weekly, planning the design phase and content layout. A different group of students, enrolled in a course on photography and storytelling taught by Don Usner, further built out the content development phase, focusing on two areas: bakeries, as sites of culture, where they conducted interviews and photographed three different ones across the city; and homelessness, videoed to “capture the humanity and individuality present among the homeless community living in Santa Fe,” as seen through the eyes of creatives in City Indifferent.

As the content development phase continued, geographic information system (GIS) professionals volunteered their time to begin building the prototype itself, utilizing a newly evolving technology from the international GIS software distributor, ESRI, that brings additional dimensionality to maps. ArcGIS software, that includes Arc Online, Arc Desktop and Arc Story Map, provided the interface to integrate audio, web pages, video, photography, and other content into a sensory map view that focuses on the Culture of Santa Fe in a “Smart City” format. Another prototype was also developed using a JavaScript library through leafletjs.com.

157 AppendixAppendices N e sensory map thus far includes remarkable videos of students from the National Dance Institute - New Mexico, performing an interpretive piece about transportation in a parking garage; an oral history recording that shares some of the history of Village of Agua Fria; and gorgeous photograpy of the 1989 fresco “Acequia Madre,” by Frederico M. Vigil. As just the beginning, even this small sampling begins to reveal, celebrate, and elevate the richness of Santa Fe’s traditions and diversity, portending a demo- cratic gateway that encourages a broad participation grounded in the values of Culture Connects.

Going forward, this prototype should continue to be developed, potentially through a partnership between the City and students from Santa Fe University of Art and Design, as well as from the Santa Fe Community College and St. John’s College. As this is developed and placed on a server, analytics should be tracked to begin understanding usability, as well as any vulnerabili- ties requiring attention. Content should also continue to be uploaded within the ve senses construct, as well as consideration as to how the prototype can be further deployed to ensure the widest benet.
