Museo de las Americas, 861 Santa Fe Drive The Museo’s brand-new exhibition
SOMOS: On Domestic Violence, Resilience and Healing takes a hard look at the social reverberations of domestic abuse through the eyes and hearts of thirteen Denver artists. Curated by Carina Bañuelos-Harrison, the show is meant to inspire discussion, and to that end, it is accompanied by a strong lineup of public programming. Bañuelos-Harrison, Latina Safehouse director Angela Ceseña and Museo director Claudia Moran will be joined by members of the safehouse’s Comadre Network for the series kickoff, “Motherhood, Domestic Violence and Healing.” The live, in-person event is free, but an RSVP is recommended here.
Del Mar Park, 312 Del Mar Circle, Aurora James Grevious and a bunch of kids who discovered an affinity for gardening in his backyard produce beds took their micro-farm to the next level last summer by organizing Rebel Marketplace, a monthly inner-city farmers’ market in Del Mar Park in Aurora. It s back for a second season, opening just in time for Mother’s Day, with fresh produce, plant starts, microgreens, mulch, baked goods and herbal remedies. See what’s in store here. And a bonus. Daily (except Tuesdays in May), 10 a.m. This free walking tour is back for a spring season, starting at the Colorado Capitol and winding through the heart of downtown Denver as it takes you past top sights and landmarks and shares the stories and history behind them. Tours are offered almost every day at 10 a.m.; although they re free, reservations are required (and they do come with a $2 ticketing fee). Sign up here.
