IGNITE: Raising Truth in the Streets
On May 1st Wise Fool led this International Workers Day event to inspire our local community and honor the many kinds of work that are done here in Northern New Mexico—to celebrate community efforts, social and environmental justice struggles, cultural creation, harvesting from and healing the land, the work of everyday survival and of immigrant rights, and the struggle for workers’ rights.

Work with Native Communities
Seeking to balance the diversity of our core membership with the projects we pursue, Wise Fool has made a commitment to work in and support Native and Indigenous based educational and arts based programs in the State of New Mexico and beyond. Each project in these communities has further developed the cultural competency of Wise Fool's individual artists and strengthened the company's overall programming.
