Into the Hourglass: Pano Arte

Into the Hourglass is a traveling exhibition from the National Hispanic Cultural Center Art Museum in Albuquerque. It celebrates paños (Spanish for handkerchief) as an art form and the contributions of incarcerated artists to the broader fields of Chicano and American art while examining the topic of incarceration in contemporary society.

Hispanics in Philanthropy

For the first time, Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP) and Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP) are uniting for a groundbreaking joint conference. This historic collaboration will amplify the voices of Latine and Indigenous communities and cultivate pathways toward collective liberation. During what we foresee to be a challenging year in which our communities will have to protect ourselves against extremist policies, this space of healing, connecting, and strategizing is especially important.

Through plenarias, panels, and charlas, we will engage in meaningful conversations about and for Indigenous and Latine communities across the Americas and the Caribbean. Our programming uplifts the most pressing priorities and highlights innovative solutions emerging from our communities.
