Prints. People. Power

Clara M. Lovett Art Museum

September 15 - November 27, 2025

Tuesday - Saturday 12:00 - 5:00 PM

The Clara M. Lovett Art Museum at Northern Arizona University proudly presents Prints. People. Power., an exhibition celebrating the bold visual voices of artists from across the American southwest as well as Central and South America who harness the power of printmaking to address pressing social, political, and cultural issues while also celebrating our shared humanity. Featuring works from the museum’s permanent collection, we focus on artists from three organizations: the Taller de Grafica Popular (1937), the Movimiento Artistico del Rio Salado (1978), and the Arizona Print Group (1990s). The exhibition enables visitors to explore how artists utilize the democratic medium of print to amplify marginalized voices, inspire dialogue, and foster connections across borders.

Searching for Refugia
An installation by Chiara Rose Skabelund
opening Reception Friday, October 17th 6-8pm
Exhibition Dates: October 17th - November 16th

Refugia are sanctuaries—places where life can take root and flourish when the world feels harsh and uncertain. Searching for Refugia reflects on the urgent need for these sanctuaries today, where acts of care, repair, and protection become a form of resistance.

Through weaving, embroidery, screen printing, ceramics, and welding, artist Chiara Rose Skabelund creates a layered installation that tells stories countering dehumanizing narratives. Her work emerges from direct experiences along the U.S./Mexico border—building homes with Rancho Feliz in Agua Prieta, supporting food kitchens and migrant shelters in Nogales, and leaving water along desert trails with No More Deaths and Tucson Samaritans.

Each thread, mark, and form becomes a gesture of repair. The monarch butterfly—migrating between Mexico and the United States—appears throughout the work as a fragile yet enduring symbol of hope, resilience, and witness.

This exhibition invites viewers into reflection and responsibility: how might we, too, become refugia—spaces where care, connection, and humanity endure?

About the Artist

Chiara Rose Skabelund is a mixed media and textile artist working across weaving, screen printing, illustration, and sculpture. Her practice centers social justice and environmental concerns, weaving personal and collective narratives into tactile, meaningful forms. A graduate of Arizona State University with a BFA in Textiles, she now lives in San Diego, where she shares her work through both her art business and contemporary gallery exhibitions. Inspired by the plants, animals, and landscapes of the places she inhabits, her art becomes an exploration of resilience, justice, and belonging.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Tinā” showing Oct. 31-Nov. 6 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

“Tinā” is an inspiring drama, a light-hearted rhythmic tear-jerker, and the story of Samoan teacher Mareta Percival. Struggling after the death of her daughter in the Christchurch earthquakes, Mareta reluctantly takes on the role of substitute teacher at an elite, wealthy private school and is surprised to find children crying out for guidance, inspiration, and love.

Using the symphony of her culture to empower her students, she forms a choir, bringing them together. Mareta has to inspire her kids while dealing with bias from a privileged community keen to put this colorful Samoan teacher in her place.

Watching her students flourish allows Mareta to begin her journey of healing and finally understand teaching her students has allowed her to fulfil her one dream of being a mother again.

Stirred by the memory of their beloved teacher, this all-white choir belts out a heart-rending performance of Samoan songs, a final tribute dedicated to their inspirational caregiver.

“Tinā” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Oct. 31-Nov. 6. Showtimes will be Friday, Sunday and Thursday, Oct. 31, Nov. 2 and 6 at 3:30 p.m.; and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 3, 4 and 5 at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
