OHMA EXHIBITS: a collection of interactive oral history encounters

Zozobra Brings His Glooms East (2025)

By Bernadette Bisbing

Zozobra brings his glooms east is a three part exercise in the futility of memory. Part one is a collection of short snippets of interviews around the death of Roy Gallegos, who was killed by a police officer in 1971, that have brought gloom to the listeners in the east. Part two is his ritual burning to bring peace. Part three is the reemergence of glooms in the listing of names of people who have been killed by the police in the state of New Mexico since the inception of the project in 2020. 

NOTE: This in-person, private exhibit opens April 26, 2025 and is accessible by invitation only.
