Mixing genres of video, performance, and drawing, Francisco González Castro’s work examines problems related to territorial borders, social inequalities, and bodily transgressions. The project title refers to German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s (1844-1900) existentialist quote that begins, “The body is a great intelligence,” (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 1883), and infers that the human body and soul are one. This title is illuminated in Castro’s own artistic philosophy, which confronts the body, people who reject the body, and how the body is approached as subject and identity. Castro’s personal bodily transgressions and tests of endurance are vehicles for his discourse about geographic landscapes and political borders. It is within this integration of life-and-art, body-and-spirit, that we intend to immerse the audience in this physically ambitious and psychologically profound exhibition by Castro at Coconino Center for the Arts.

Quality Connections provides vocational training services to people with disabilities and other barriers to employment, and directly employs over 150 people in the Flagstaff area through its programs. Evergreen’s services are provided as a free employment benefit for Quality Connections’ workforce, helping to eliminate a barrier that prevents many parents ofyoung children from working.

Our preschool is currently accepting students and you’ll save $100 on preschool or childcare fees when you enroll your child by May 10, 2024.

We may not be able to solve the childcarecrisis for everyone, but if we can help ease the burden for our members and employees,perhaps we can provide a model that lights the way for others to follow in our footsteps.”
