3 Current Exhibitions Casas Grandes Resurgence: The Early Potters of Mata Ortiz Through June 23, 2018 Auditorium

The contemporary renaissance began as an effort by villagers to replicate ancient Casas Grandes ceramic vessels. As time went on, the style evolved as potters began to include technical and aesthetic advances. Mastery of the craft and the styles of individual artists has led to a departure from traditional forms by some, creating the contemporary expression that is characteristic of Mata Ortiz pottery today. The exhibition is comprised of portraits of many of the early potters and participants of trade in the antiquities market and is taken from the work of Fabiola Silva, archaeologist, and Sterling Trantham, documentary photographer. The exhibit also features pieces from the Museum’s own collection of early Mata Ortiz pottery as well as the groundbreaking work of Diego Valles, a member of the next generation of Mata Ortiz potters.

Master Potter Diego Valles conducted a pottery firing demonstration for the opening of Casas Grandes Resurgence: The Early Potters of Mata Ortiz on March 3rd. Mr. Valles lives and works in the village of Mata Ortiz, , Mexico.

4 Children of the Hisatsinom: The Art of the Hopi Through August 31, 2018 North Gallery

Since ancient times the Hopi people, or Hopituh Shi-nu mu (the peaceful people) have lived in the Southwest, maintaining their sacred covenant with Maasaw, the keeper of the earth, living as peaceful farmers who are respectful of the land and its resources. Descendants of the Ancestral Pueblo peoples, the Hopi continue to live following many of the old traditions that have been passed down for generations. The purpose of this exhibit is to showcase the many arts that the Hopi use to communicate elements of their culture and traditions to a wider audience. From basketry to pottery to the carving of beautiful katsina dolls, the Hopi continue to express their deep, rich history through the creative works of their artisans.

5 The Missions of El Paso Del Norte Through 2019 South Gallery

The Spanish Mission system was intended to ‘settle’ Native Americans, converting them to Catholicism and implementing other aspects of Spanish culture. The relationship between Spanish clergy and military was close; missions and fortified military bases known as presidios were established in close proximity and soldiers were used to locate and return individuals who fled from the missions. Following their escape and arrival in the area, the survivors of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 began settling and building missions and presidios. The Mission exhibit presents the brief history of each of the missions and the presidio at San Elizario and features various objects recovered from the excavations at the original Socorro Mission site. These objects are graciously on loan from Mr. Joe Ledesma, former owner of the property where the Mission once stood.

8 EDUCATIONal EVENTS 2018 Spring Break and Summer Camps

At this year’s Spring Break Camp, we pioneered a new, revamped formula. With more in-depth activities that looked at the science and tools of archaeology, campers got to experience a wider variety of archaeological activities, from field to lab. Using Google Maps, 3D photos and new building materials, the kids examined mapping, scale, site location, and a variety of ancient engineering questions. Other activities included obsidian sourcing, the symbolism of rock imagery, and a discussion of desert adaptations. Mock excavations and trying out the atlatl were as popular as ever. We will continue to introduce new activities, and new versions of old favorites, in this year’s Summer Day Camps. Our goal is to give campers an idea of the breadth of archaeological science and the new discoveries that are made all the time!

Summer Camps will be held June 19-23 and July 24-27 for kids ages 7-12. Space is limited to 12 participants for each camp. $55 for members, $70 for non-members. To register or for more information please contact Jen McCollough, Community Engagement Coordinator at (915) 755-4332 or at [email protected] or visit our website at archaeology.elpasotexas.gov
