About:
In areas of Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico, Indigenous and Hispanic communities have lived in both harmony and conflict since the late 16th century but in the late 19th century, the impact of U.S. imperial expansion and the legacy of Indigenous enslavement eclipsed that history. Using adobe architecture as its main throughline, Mud Frontier explores the complex cultural confluences in this region and its painful legacy of colonialism, while grounding its focus on the earth and the land.
Mud Frontier: Architecture at the Borderlands offers an intimate, tactile look at Mud Frontiers, a project led by artist-architects Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello, who use 3D-printing technology to build adobe structures on Raels ancestral homelands in Colorados San Luis Valley. Using energy-efficient, ecologically-friendly, and affordable construction methods, Mud Frontier draws upon the long-lasting links between Indigenous and Hispanic cultures of the area, paying homage to the past while simultaneously moving towards a more sustainable future.

Screens with the short film "We Do It for Awá"
Northern Brazil, state of Maranhão. TIBÁ architects build earth houses in indigenous villages as a part of a compensation policy against the impact of an industrial railway which passes next to the territory. Architecture becomes a pretext to talk about the complex situation of the native Brazilian population which faces rapid modernization of its culture and an intensifying invasion from the neighbouring Brazilian villages. The efforts of the Guajajara tribe focus on guarding the forest and ensuring that the last uncontacted Awá tribes can continue their traditional way of life, undisturbed.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
