From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors. A portrait of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls who just want to score some goals.

Libation Lecture: The Divine Within
2022-06-30 17:30 - 18:30 | Fine Arts Center, 30 W. Dale St., Colorado Springs, CO, 80903, United States
The Divine Within: La Virgen de Guadalupe, Spirituality, and Panocha Politics
Thursday, June 30, 5:30-6:30 p.m. (bar opens at 5 p.m.)
Coinciding with Where the Saint Lives, an exhibition currently on view at the Fine Arts Center, join us for our first Libation Lecture of 2022. La Virgen de Guadalupe, the patron saint of Mexico and goddess of the Americas, has generated reflection on the question of our divine and corporeal being for over 500 years. Learn why and how artists and writers continually invoke the image of La Virgen de Guadalupe in their work. Who is she? Why is she revered? Why is that she is depicted everywhere from churches, museums, and murals, to t-shirts, coffee mugs, and tattoos?
During the lecture, we’ll also be playing Lotería, a bingo-like game that uses culturally significant images and has been played throughout Mexico for hundreds of years. You might even win a prize!
Themed drink: Paloma
Lecturer: Nancy Rios, PhD; Program Director, CC Mobile Arts
Tickets: $10 for FAC Members, $15 for non-members, includes your first drink (FAC members must login to receive the discount)

Steven Yazzie: ^^(Resource)
2022-07-01 10:00 - 2022-08-13 16:00 | Fine Arts Center, 30 W. Dale St., Colorado Springs, CO, 80903, United States
The central video of ^^(Resource) follows the journey of a yellow stone taken from Dook’o’osliid, later named the San Francisco Peaks in Arizona, a location that is sacred to the Diné people. The stone moves from a lab to a shop, and finally to a ritual ceremony. These contexts—scientific, aesthetic, consumerist, and spiritual—contribute to the stone’s changing meaning and significance. Yellow is the is the color the Diné associate with the mountain and the cardinal direction west. While the experiences with the stone change based on the people who interact with it, the imagery of the mountain range reminds us of where this resource came from and has since been extracted and removed.
