Hi! I am the current artist in residence at the Carrizozo Colony and
would like to invite Carrizozo residents to participate in a silent video
about the town's geography. Volunteers will be filmed in a one-on-one
interview format, but only the participants' backs and arms will be
recorded. If you would like to help me with the project or are simply
interested in chatting, call me at (305)-877-1418 or email me at
jimegracia@gmail.com. You can view images of my work here:

The Mission of the Carrizozo Colony AIR is to provide individual artists space
and time to focus on chosen projects in the arts. With a broad definition of ‘artist,’
the Carrizozo Colony is open to a wide a variety of artistic mediums and creative
ventures. The residency promises solitude as well as interaction with the Carrizozo
community. The distinctive topography, varied life zones, and multicultural
archeology of South Central New Mexico afford a unique connection with the land.
In 2015 Warren & Joan Malkerson and MoMAZoZo combined their efforts to create
the Carrizozo Colony AIR. Artists live and work on Carrizozo’s historic 12th Street.
