Shifting perspectives on complex issues

A podcast from the Santa Fe Art Institute, produced in the traditional territories of the Tewa peoples.
Tilt invites listeners to see complex issues in new ways through the lens of creativity. Each episode is an audio collage assembling a multitude of viewpoints on a different topic, and includes interviews, field recordings, soundscapes and stories representing the diverse communities, creative practitioners, and culture bearers from New Mexico.

SFAI and Littleglobe are two Santa Fe-based arts nonprofits committed to collaboration as a way to more deeply support artists, creative practitioners, culture bearers and the broader Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico community. “Santa Fe Stories from the Inside Out” are a collection of Littleglobe TV (LGTV) episodes and SFAI Tilt podcasts that bring to the surface the histories and experiences of the people who make Santa Fe a diverse, creative place to live and work.

This program is made possible in part with the support from the New Mexico Humanities Council.

Partially funded by the City of Santa Fe Arts & Culture Department and the 1% Lodgers Tax.

As SFAI navigates these uncertain times, we face new fiscal challenges. We are seeking support for this programming and ongoing operational costs — a portion of these donations will go to participating artists.

WALKING MIDTOWN
APRIL 22

Walking Midtown explores the liminality of edges and perimeters – the physical realities and poetical possibilities of the Midtown Site where the Santa Fe Art Institute is located. How does containment – walls, fences, dry acequias, and roads – create different barriers or opportunities? The experiences of the perimeter are addressed in conversations with SFAI alumni Hakim Bellamy and Ehren Kee Natay, who walk the site with Tilt producer Kourtney Andar.
