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.

Join the NAU Symphony Orchestra and the 2024 Concerto Competition Winners for an afternoon of celebration under the direction of Daniel O’Bryant. May 5 at 3 PM in Ardrey Auditorium. Featuring: Gershwin “An American in Paris,” Ravel’s “Bolero,” Creston’s “Concerto for Saxophone and Orchestra,” with soloist Joseph Pajkos, and Waignein’s “Rhapsody for Saxophone and Orchestra,” with soloist Patrick Rubalcava.
The program will be presented by Dr. Maurice Crandall who will review and analyze the history of American Indian citizenship and how it relates to Native Americans in Arizona. He will also tie this history to the present, showing how Native Americans in Arizona and elsewhere continue to be disenfranchised, essentially making them non-voting citizens.
Step into an afternoon of soul-stirring melodies as the Camerata Chamber Singers bring to life the rich musical heritage of the Southeast United States. The ensemble will weave a tapestry of sound, featuring haunting spirituals that speak of hope and resilience. Listen as the harmonies of Appalachian folk tunes echo the heartbeats of the mountains, telling tales of simpler times. The choir will also delve into the profound depths of the Southern and Kentucky Harmony hymnals, bringing forth a repertoire that resonates with the spirit of American history. Each hymn and folk tune promise to transport the audience to a bygone era of communal singing and fellowship- you will even get the chance to join us in singing!
