Opening May 14th: “Voices of Counterculture in the Southwest” at the New Mexico History Museum.Spanning the 1960s and 1970s, the exhibition includes oral histories, photography, archival footage, as well as artifacts and ephemera exploring the influx of youth seeking alternative lifestyles in New Mexico during the Vietnam War and amidst the turbulent birth of the civil rights movement.
“The exhibition examines this cultural revolution and asks how these forms of rebellion inform the ways we think about contemporary social and political questions of what it means to be an engaged citizen.”
