OPEN CALL! The PASEO 2027 Biennial: Convergence The PASEO returns to the streets of Taos on September 17 and 18, 2027—now as a biennial festival with more time to support ambitious ideas, deepen community partnerships, and develop extraordinary public art experiences. PASEO 2027 Biennial celebrates, creativity and collective spirit of a community coming together through the 2027 theme of Convergence. Convergence is movement toward connection. It exists in the dynamic space between individuality and collectivity, where difference, contradiction, and multiplicity coexist. Rivers converge without abandoning their sources. Cultures converge while carrying memory forward. Technologies converge with human behavior, reshaping perception, communication, and meaning itself. Through connection, exchange, and encounter, new relationships emerge while differences remain intact. Convergence is about relationships. It asks what becomes possible when we engage one another fully—across disciplines, cultures, communities, species, and ways of knowing. Convergence can manifest as both collision and communion, generating friction, harmony, uncertainty, and opportunity simultaneously. Convergence dissolves traditional boundaries between artist and audience, positioning contemporary art as a catalyst for public engagement, belonging, and transformation. The PASEO 2027 Biennial celebrates art’s power to strengthen community, spark dialogue, and connect diverse histories with shared futures. Through immersive installations, collaborative performances, and interactive experiences, PASEO 2027 Biennial will activate the heart of Taos historic downtown on September 17 and 18 2027. The festival will create opportunities for shared experiences, cross-cultural dialogue, and meaningful connection across generations. The open call for PASEO 2027 is now open. We invite artists working across disciplines to propose immersive installations, performances, and interactive experiences that activate Taos’s historic downtown and explore connection, exchange, and collective transformation.

Protect the forest. For decades - even before Smokey Bear - the American public was told time and again that “protecting” the forest meant one thing: Keep all fire out. Public service posters (like this one from 1939) made clear that a healthy forest was a fire-free forest. Turns out that message wasn’t completely accurate… DECONSTRUCTING SMOKEY One Bear.

Get a heaping dose of history, art, science and forest management on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 9-11am in Las Trampas. Tierra Común is a two-hour field trip/crash course meant to illuminate social and ecological interplay in the historic Hispano settlements and surrounding forests of southern Taos County. Presenters include descendants of the original Hispano settlers, an art historian, church caretakers and a local ecologist, all describing how humans and the environment have affected one another in this place for centuries, and continue to do so. Highlights include: a detailed retelling of the church construction (featuring wood material that dates back as far as the 1400s!); a three-century fire history of the Trampas forest as told by the fire-scarred wood collected in the nearby hills; an expert mini-lecture on the incredible Spanish colonial artwork inside the church that spans eras; a brief detour to recount controversial changes in land ownership and the subsequent exploitation of natural resources during the early 20th Century (see the crazy photo of the 1915 log jam on the Rio Embudo); and a modern assessment of how people and this place might continue to coexist and even thrive in an uncertain future. After the field trip, check out the many other Disturbance-related events happening along the High Road that same day.

Before Smokey Bear, there was this. Forest fire. Enemy attack. National defense. For generations, Americans were taught to understand fire through images of danger, destruction and war. Keeping all fire out of the forest was a moral act of patriotism. The upcoming exhibit, "Deconstructing Smokey," looks back at the remarkable campaign that changed the way a entire nation thought about fire — and asks what happens when the "enemy" turns out to be something the forest actually needs. DECONSTRUCTING SMOKEY Coming to the Community Room at Taos Center for the Arts. Exhibit Opens Oct. 2, 6 to 9 p.m. Presented by Disturbance Link in bio taken in Taos Center for the Arts by @paseoproject
