Inspired by Mexican American serigraphs, and psychedelic posters, an art agita-tor commissioned 30 Southwestern artists to create large, colorful prints, of the kind that want to get out of the studio and be shared. The artists -- from points around Tucson, Albuquerque, and El Paso -- deliver a variety of visions, as the theme was open. 12 of the printmakers are from Tucson, including: Joe Marshall, Cristina Cardenas, Martin Quintanilla, Mykl Wells, Ruben Urrea Moreno, Rudy Flores, Gonzalo Espinosa, Tanya Rich, Rogo, Mark Christian, Lauren Moran and Michael Contreras. The prints were produced in 14 different studios, including the Tucson Com-munity Print Shop and the Gloo Factory in Tucson; and Taller 75 Grados in Mexico City. This collection will be on exhibit at the Contreras Gallery (110 E 6th St.), February 6 - 27. Opening reception is during the First Saturday Art Walk, Feb 6, from 6 - 9 PM.

Park for $5 all day ($10 for RVs) at the Downtown West Hub, 700 W. Congress, where you can get on both the Downtown Gem Loop and the Mineral & Fossil Loop. Parking is free at the Tucson Expo Center, 3750 E. Irvington Road, where you can get on both the Kino Gem Loop and the Bead Loop.


When talking about Tucsons annual Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase, people who have been around a while will tell you that its changed, that its not what it used to be and that nothing is as cool as it was in the good old days. For years I used to shop for people who live in town, says Aspen Green, a long time Tucsonan; people who did not want to be seen because they were too well known. Theyd give me a list and $1,000 and I would know exactly where to go to find just the right piece of amethyst or rug or clothing or beads. I had passes to all the shows and I knew just where to get all the good stuff!

But its changed, she laments, about five years ago when different shows started moving around town and the state started charging sales tax. Now with a full time job at UA Presents, whose busiest season conflicts with The Show, annually held the first two weeks in February, Green has neither the time nor enthusiasm to go out and enjoy the show, much less work it.

But while this may be true for Green and others who have seen more than their fair share of Street Fairs, Tucson Meet Yourself and other annual events that may have lost their one time appeal, this is a two week extravaganza that consistently demands to be seen with fresh eyes. Aside from how vast and expansive it is, this is a time when literally hundreds of millions of dollars worth of precious stones, crystals, minerals and metals inundate our city. There are those in fact who will swear there is an actual shift in the vibrational space/time continuum. But its not just rocks and such as but also clothing, jewelry, fossils, glasswork, beads and beadwork of every conceivable nature, here to be bought, sold, traded, haggled over or simply admired. Add lots of music, parties, the marathon glassblowing competition and a cast of characters straight out of Central Casting including wholesale buyers, sellers, gemologists, jewelers, import/export people, musicians, hippies and ex-hippies now masking as straight laced business types. Its a wonder no one has seen fit to make an indie movie of this scene.

What makes it special are the people who come back every year. So says Sirena Jan Allen who has worked a booth at the show for various out of town vendors for almost 20 years. Initially working for a seller of Peruvian clay and hand painted beads, she loved the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. There is an excitement that builds, she says that comes from being a part of so many different reunions taking place with folks who only get to see each other for these few days every year.

Actually, the Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase is a bit of a misnomer. A cursory search on Google will reveal a schedule that features no fewer than 40 different shows or expos spread throughout the city (tucsongemshows.net) . Some are strictly wholesale and some require official badges. But most are open to the public, with many housed in huge tented areas or spread across hotel rooms, suites and balconies.

Some of the better known hot beds of activity include what used to be known as the Holidome on Palo Verde and Irvington; the tents set up by TEP Park on Ajo and Country Club and of course the fortnights grand finale in the Tucson Convention Center, a high end show according to some, where there is also an admission charge.

Congress St., just west of downtown is also an area that usually houses a huge tented area. But it is the I-10 Frontage Road, running from Grant Rd. to just south of 22nd St., with all of its roadside motels, that provides a huge cornucopia of (for lack of a better word) stuff, for anyone interested in cruising the side of the highway on bicycle or foot with thousands of other bargain hunters, curiosity seekers and people watchers.

And speaking of the strip, at the very south end of the Frontage Road, just south of 22nd St. is the African Village. This is one of the true gems (pun intended) of the entire show. In what is normally a huge vacant dirt lot, this space is annually transformed into a place of drums and other instruments, masks, lanterns, necklaces, jewelry, clothing, furniture, etched glass and so much more with one vendor after the next representing a unique part of the African continent. This is truly a land of many cultures. For many who frequent the show, a trip to the African Village serves as an annual pilgrimage in and of itself.

And finally, at the other end of the strip by Grant Road, is the Gem and Jam Show (ticketfly.com) What began as a single night of music at a Fourth Ave. Club, has morphed from those humble beginnings into its current incarnation as a full fledged three day Festival complete with three day passes, hotel packages and other festival perks.

Alan, a wholesale buyer from North Carolina and one of those guys who could be from Central Casting, is a fitness buff and may spend half his time here bicycling into the Catalinas or even New Mexicos Gila Wilderness. But he still remembers the time when he got to see a 50 karat chrome tourmaline and an emerald green garnet worth $300,000. And everybody is a wheeler dealer, he says with a wry smile. With so much to take in, whats still not to like? n

WHAT ExACTLY is The Poetry of Spectacle? The short answer is that its a new series being offered by the University of Arizona Poetry Center that addresses the spectacle of modern life and how we react to it. We often see artwork, books, film television or music that communicates how artists are feeling in the modern world, but often poetry is not thought of as a way to interpret contemporary life. This free, Thursday night series will showcase the work of four invited poets who are looking at issues such as race, culture and identity in the 21st century and how we deal with it.

This project is just part of a broader new initiative at the UA Poetry center that aims to present an annual look, through investigative readings, at examining critical social, cultural, environmental and political concerns, and how contemporary poets are responding with their own works. The series in February will feature some true poetry superstars; Terrance Hayes, a 2014 MacArthur Foundation Genius award winner, NEA fellowship award and published poet who is considered one of the greatest living poets; Kimiko Hahn who has published nine collections of works and won numerous awards and prizes; Khadijah Queen, the author of three published collections and winner of numerous fellowships and awards; and Adrian Matejka who is also a widely published and awarded poet whose accolades include a Pulitzer Prize for poetry. The work of these poets helped the Center define the program, thanks to their most recent works, which range from reflecting on issues such as sports, race and an infatuation with celebrity by popular culture.

Hannah Ensor, the Literary Program coordinator at the University of Arizona Poetry Center is excited to welcome all four of the invited poets to the series, none of whom have ever read at the center previously. Whats somewhat unique about the entire endeavor is the notion that poets voices are being solicited and heard as they address the big events occurring in contemporary society,

and how we as the public talk about them, said Ensor. We often think of poets as curious and attentive to the world around us, and as such it makes perfect sense to have them examine the way we talk about modern life. In a way its ironic that while we are living in a 24-hour cycle of spectacle, from entertainment, sports and politics, we have mostly embraced the writers and filmmakers but have not yet listened closely to what our poets are saying. This series will hopefully start to change that paradigm. We as consumers almost have to opt out as the audience thanks to the barrage of information that assails us every day, and perhaps their perspective on the chaos will help us figure out what it is that we want to let in.

Whats also exciting about this series, is that as with nearly every other reading that has taken place at the UA Poetry Center, the readings will be archived as part of their VOCA audio video library, which is available to anyone remotely via the internet (voca.arizona.edu). The collection houses archival recordings going all the way back to 1963 by an astonishing collection of poets. So even as we express dismay over the connected, 24-hour world, we can utilize it to experience this series if we cant attend in person.

The Poetry Center will also bring together three of the four poets in this series at the upcoming 2016 Association of Writers and Writing Programs national conference which will bring this program, as well as our own widely acclaimed Poetry Center additional national exposure. n

Spectacular Poetics: The Poetry of Spectacle takes place each Thursday night in February at 7pm at the UA Poetry Center, located at 1508 East Helen Street. The program is free and open to the public. Information at poetry.arizona.edu

French photographer Cdric Delsaux has a history of creating innovative and intriguing images that speak to contemporary life. Born in 1974, he is also a child of pop culture, and his work called the Dark Lens series is the perfect blend of commentary about the world we live in today, and the fantasy of sci-fi pop culture, specifically Star Wars. The Dark Lens series began in 2011, and a new group of photographs in the series are debuting at the Baker Hesseldenz Gallery this month that couldnt come at a better time, thanks to the release of the next film in the Star Wars series, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

From the moment that Star Wars debuted in 1977, fans responded to the lived-in, realistic nature of the films world. This was a place that was not all shiny and perfect, but one that looked rather used and slightly dirty around the edges. This concession to reality made the story of Star Wars feel more plausible compared to other films of the genre. Delsauxs large-scale photographic images

take the next step in merging reality and fantasy by placing iconic Star Wars characters and vehicles squarely in our own, slightly dirty and edgy world. A place where often the subjects of the photographs are barely glimpsed through a rain-spattered window or through a fog covering a highway underpass. But make no mistake, this is not just fan art rendered by an obsessed Star Wars groupie. The work is both technically excellent, and also a commentary about life in the early 21st century on Earth.

But how, in the world of hair-trigger lawsuits, injunctions and cease-and-desist letters does Delsaux get away with using the intellectual property of Lucasfilm and its new owner Disney? Not only does he get away with it, but the father of Star Wars himself, George Lucas actually penned an introduction to the book that Delsaux produced of the images. Lucas said, One of the most unique and intriguing interpretations that I have seen is in the work of Cdric

Delsaux, who has cleverly integrated Star Wars characters and vehicles into stark urban, industrial but unmistakably earthbound environments. This is high praise from the man who has likely seen all manner of visual tributes to his opus over the past 39 years.

Delsaux says of seeing Star Wars for the first time, I still remember how blown away I was by its visual power, but more important was the feeling of the absolute freedom, creative extravagance even. He continues, Everything seemed possible, because it was an open door onto the unknown. While he names artists such as filmmaker David Lynch and photographers like William Eggleston and Stephen Shore as influences to his style, its clear that he has developed his own unique take on what life could look like if worlds collided.

The combination of real run-down industrial locations in France, and hyper-modern landscapes of places in Dubai, set the viewers expectations perfectly. It seems eminently plausible to see some of these imaginary robots, ships or characters lurking in the shadows. Once viewers accept this premise, its a short leap to the sight of legions of droid soldiers mustering in front of a government building, or even marching down a deserted factory street. But this work is

not just an ominous reminder of what might go wrong if were not careful with government and technology, there is also a strong undercurrent of humor. With numerous images of the bumbling droid army, often interacting with central characters C-3PO and R2-D2, we are reminded that at its heart the Star Wars story is entertainment, and as such is an escape from our world. Personally I find the images of spacecraft most compelling, for example Nebulon in the Rain, or 2 Y-Wings and Fire, or anything with an AT-AT. Perhaps its the adolescent boy in me that wants these things to be real, and Delsaux has made it seem possible in our lifetime to see sights like this in person. Given the new vistas created by director J.J. Abrams for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, one has to wonder if there will be more works in the Dark Lens Series in the near future, we can only hope so. n

Dark Lens by Cedric Delsaux is on display at the Baker+Hesseldenz Gallery through March 26 along with Skulls by phtographer Francois Robert. The gal-lery is located at 100 East 6th Street. Information at bakerhesseldenz.com

1912 Brewing CompanyThe family-owned and operated 1912 Brewing Company in Tucson, Arizona be-gan when founder Allan Conger took his passion for home brewing and turned it into opening his own brewery. Conger hung out in one of his fermentation classes in college, caught the brewing bug from his professor, and proceeded to blow up his first batch, all over the closet. Conger was hooked from there. Conger and his business partner and wife Alicia, are natives of the Grand Can-yon State and wanted to pay homage to their home by naming the brewery after the year Arizona became a state. They like to keep people guessing on whats coming next. They love brewing a wide array of beers and feeding their brewing creativity. If something sparks their curiosity, they want to make it. From Goses, IPAs, Amber, Blondes, Porters, to a variety of lagers, 1912 Brewing Company continues to mix things up.

Borderlands Brewing CompanyTo say that Dan Bruner knows his beer is an understatement. He has only been in the industry for a year, but is already making a name for himself in the South-west brewing community. His favorite beers to drink are barrel-aged sours, but he loves brewing anything that lets him experiment with new ingredients. His passion for craft beer was originally inspired by his dad, who himself is a long-time craft beer fan. Dan is probably also the most literate brewer in the region. His soundtrack to busy brewing days is The Nerdest Podcast, and he names all of his homebrew batches after people or places in Lord of the Rings. He formerly taught high school English, but 12 hour days carrying 50 pound bags of barley in hot and cramped brew houses still seems like a breeze compared to educating teenagers.

Catalina Brewing CompanyCan you believe it? After what seems like an eternity, and countless youve been saying youre opening in a couple of months for about a year now words of encouragement, Catalina Brewing Company will be officially opening its doors on Saturday, February 20 as a cap to Arizona Beer Week! While their moniker, We Bike, We Brew encapsulates the passion that co-owners Hank Rowe and Brian Vance live, they also give support to the educators among us. With brews like 24 Hop, Mesquite Agave, and Teachers Aide, they pay tribute to these passions with a local flair. For the Tucson Craft Beer Crawl, look out for their Caada Del Oro Golden Blonde and La Rosa Prickly Pear Cream Ale. Located near Ina and I-10, Catalina Brewing Company is just a mere 200 yards from The Loop Pathway.

dragoon Brewing Companydragoon Brewing Company was founded with a simple idea in mind: that in shar-ing a creative endeavor with another person, you cannot help but share a bit of yourself. For Dragoon, that endeavor is beer, and they are proud of the pas-sion, integrity, and soul that they pour into every pint. In April of 2012, Dragoon opened as a self-distributing draft-only brewery featuring just 2 beers on tap: Dragoon IPA, and Stronghold Session Ale. Since those early days, Dragoon has grown from a team of three to a family of more than 18 by focusing on quality as a measure of success. You can rest assured that their beer doesn't leave the back of the house unless it meets their strict standards, and that quality control does not end when the beer leaves our sight. They are here to produce beer they can be proud of, and to share it with their community.

iron Johns Brewing CompanyJohn Adkisson and John Markley opened iron Johns Brewing Company to pro-duce an ever-changing variety of small batch, artisan beer mixing both local and stylistically authentic ingredients. With an artistic eye, they release dozens of different beers yearly, ranging from traditional European styles to modern American styles. They incorporate a variety of unique ingredients, such as; So-noran creosote flowers, Mesquite pods, Emory acorns, Safford green chilies, Wilcox peaches and Grenache grapes. Last year they implemented Tucsons first cask-aged sour beer program with wine casks from local vineyards. The traditional Belgian-style sours are crafted to match the character of the wine casks and released every few months. The small brewery also operates as a taproom and bottle shop, where one can pick up hand-bottled beers to go, or enjoy a glass with a friend. Iron Johns will be bringing their Old Pueblo Pale Ale, Nardo Black IPA, Iron Horse Oatmeal Stout and Pedro Double IPA to the beer crawl.

santan Brewing Companysantan Brewing Company believes that craft beer and craft food is the inspira-tion for the conversations that can change the world. What makes this Arizona owned brewery different from others is their craft beers are brewed specifically for the southwest. Their Southwestern Style Ales are fermented to completion and carbonated higher than traditional American beers for a more effervescent, crisp and refreshing hand crafted beer- perfect for quenching your thirst. At the Tucson Craft Beer Crawl, SanTan Brewing will pour their award-winning HopShock IPA and their new spring seasonal, Grapefruit Shandy- a delicisous American Ale blended to perfection with Arizona grapefruit juice. For more information and full list of their brews, visit: www.santanbrewing.com or stop by their Brewpub in downtown Chandler, AZ.

pueBlo VidaWhat pueblo Vida loves about Tucson is the collaborative community. They have been open for a little over a year and are so thankful to other breweries for being so welcoming. This year theyve decided to partner with a couple differ-ent breweries to bring collaborative beers to Arizona Beer Week. To kick off the week, they will be debuting their IPA Encore that was brewed with Ten Fify-Five and Dragoon Brewing on Thursday February 11, 2016 at pueblo Vida. Last year during beer week they brewed Mic Drop with Ten Fifty-Five Brewing, so this year they decided to add another brewery and another hop to bring you, En-core. Next year, look for After Party! During Arizona Beer Week pueblo Vida will also be releasing their collaboration brew with Fate Brewing from Scottsdale. This will be a Session IPA, a perfect addition to all the high ABV beers typically seen this time of year. The ladies of pueblo Vida also took part in the all woman brewed beer at Huss Brewing! They will be tapping the red IPA, Shes so Hop, during beer week. They will also be featuring beers from Flagstaff (Wanderlust, Historic, and Mother Road) and Phoenix (Wren House, Huss, and Fate.)

sentinel peak Brewing CompanyJeremy Hilderbrand, Co-Owner and Head Brewer of sentinel peak Brewing Company, has taught many things: scuba diving, high school English, Italian, English as a second language, and firefighting acad-emies, but these days hes all about spreading the love of great beer in Tucson. A native of Michigan, Jeremys interest in craft beer began nearly 25 years ago in the basement bars of Germany. While sta-tioned in Wurzburg, Jeremy discovered the riches of classic European beers like dunkels, hefeweizens, and pilsners, which were unlike anything hed expe-rienced back home. But it wasnt until many years later when his wife gave him a homebrew beer kit for Christmas that the seeds for sentinel peak Brewing Company were sown. In January of 2014, sentinel peak Brewing Company opened its doors and now of-fers nine house-made craft beers and a wide variety of food from light bites to more substantial choices.

AS PROFESSOR of Gender and Womens Studies at the University of Arizona, Bill Simmons is a regular on the human rights circuit. As such, hes on first name basis with activists of all kinds from around the globe. Hes met torture survivors and perpetrators, people who have witnessed and lived through in-stances of genocide, refugees from war-torn geographies, and academics and experts that study nearly every facet of human rights abuses worldwide. As I travel around the world doing human rights work I meet all of these amazing people, says Simmons, and I kept thinking that Id love to have my students meet these people, as well.

It wasnt a huge leap, then, for Simmons to start inviting some of these in-dividuals into his classroom via Skype and, once the invite was extended, Sim-mons says, They almost always said Yes. For the last five years or so, Sim-mons has made it a regular practice to feature speakers in his classroom from all over the world who have firsthand experience on subjects like the Rwandan Genocide and the Sudanese Civil War, which was responsible for displacing 20,000-plus orphan refugees known colloquially as the Lost Boys of Sudan.

But, says Simmons, where it seemed easy enough to interest these experts in appearing in his own classroom as a result of his professional proximity to them, his peers, though interested, were not quite sure how they could manage to do the same. When I mentioned the idea to other faculty members, says Simmons, they would say I wouldnt even know where to starthow do I meet these people?

Then it hit him: what if he could compile the biographies and contact in-formation from human rights leaders and experts from around the globe on a single website; a website which could serve as a speakers bureau for activ-ists and educators? And, now, thanks in part to a small grant from the UAs Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry, that dream is well on its way to becoming a reality.

At a Show & Tell event at the Playground Bar last month, Simmons un-veiled his website, GlobalHumanRightsDirect.com, to a small crowd of support-ers and fellow teachers. The presentation included a roughly twenty-minute

video conference with Kuol Awan, Executive Director of the Lost Boys Center for Leadership Development in Phoenix and a Lost Boy, himself. Awan told of the attack on his village in November of 1987 and said that, when the fighting reached them, he and his fellow villagers had no idea that their country was even at war. What followed was unexpected exile, starting with three months of walking during which many of Awans friends died of exhaustion; several others, he says, were killed by wildlife. And though Awan was in from Phoenix during the talk, the proof-of-concept was there.

What we want to do is change who is counted as an expert in human rights, said Simmons during the presentation. There are people who know a lot more about human rights than the human rights professors, says Sim-mons, so we want to change what knowledge is brought into the classroom, what knowledge is brought into policy debates, and we want to change what knowledge counts in (discussions about) human rights. We dont want victims and survivors to be seen as somebody we study, but rather as somebody that we discuss with and we learn from.

As it stands, GlobalHumanRightsDirect.com is still in its relative infancy with only a handful registered users, but Simmons insists that it wont be a problem to convince the relevant parties to sign up. From there, Simmons and team plan to build an extensive database of experts which academics can search and then use to directly contact speakers in order to arrange videocon-ferences for their own classrooms. Down the road, the site will also feature live conferencing rooms in which interested parties can convene to hold remote discussions on any number of human rights topics.

For now, the focus is still on development. In fact, Simmons and team are actively seeking out ideas from the community which might further enrich the concept, as well as help to take the technological capabilities of the site further. And though he is still piecing the project together, Simmons insists that the potential applications for his site are near limitless, and perhaps even a bit overdue. n

GunsightThis is the first installment in a series of Borderland Ghost Towns, which pairs architectural illustration by Danny Martin with short essays by Francisco Cant.


first came to Gunsight alone, in the wintertime, and never went back. I had long been drawn to the place by its name, by stories of lost mineshafts cut deep into stoney mountains. I had heard, too, warnings of cartel scouts camped on the hilltops beyond the old mining camp, men who watched the comings and goings of law enforcement, radioing

their movements to the smugglers ushering their payload across the valley below.

Gunsight lies in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, a few hours west of Tucson and 40 miles north of the Mexican border. From a nearby village, I followed a dirt road a mile or so up a sloping hillside until I came to a crumbling building of mud and stacked stone. The structure was roofless and inside the wood-framed doorway were dirt floors strewn with trash and earth-caked bottles. In several places the walls were scorched black with soot from old fires and I could see through paneless windows the notched mountains that gave the place its name.

This structure is one of the few remnants of the Gunsight camp, once regarded as one of the best-developed mines in the Arizona Territory. The mines heyday was brief. Discovered in 1878, the hillsides would yield hundreds of thousands of dollars in silver, enough to merit the opening of a federal post office in 1892. The mine ceased operation in 1895, the same year US mints halted the production of silver coins, and the post office closed its doors shortly thereafter, ensuring the towns eventual desertion.

More than a century after its demise, Gunsight still serves as a waypoint in the desert for men seeking wealth. Up the hill from the ruined building I made my way past rusted fencing and signs warning of danger until I came to the main entrance of the old mine. At the mouth of the tunnel, a cluster of tiny bats clung to the blasted edges of the ceiling, twisting their heads at me before dropping down to swirl into further darkness. About fifty yards in the tunnel opened high enough for me to stand, and it was here, beneath a thick vein of galena and lead ore reaching deep into the granite hills, that I noticed recent evidence of passing smugglerscarpet shoes and piles of frayed burlap, torn-apart pouches of beans and beef jerky, water jugs painted black to blend with the night, to not glint in the daytime sun.

Outside, as I stumbled back into the evening light, a sense of claustrophobia stayed with me, clinging to my skin like the smell of stale sweat and old stone. Suddenly, in the hills above the mine, I heard a scattering of rocks come tumbling down a near slope. I remembered the rumors of scouts on hilltops, and I quickly averted my gaze. If there were indeed figures lurking in the shadows above me, I preferred not to see them. It felt safer to disregard their presence, to feign ignorance and continue my wanderings.

I followed a small path westward along the hillside, making my way over rusted barbed wire fencing until I came to the edge of a massive ventilation shaft. Chunks of jagged stone jutted out from the chasm and its mouth yawned

more than ten feet across, stretching down far beyond the reach of sunlight. I picked up a large rock and threw it into the pit, listening to the wind gather around it as it fell. A full eight seconds passed before a soft thud finally echoed up from the depths.

As the thudding dissipated into the cold air, I tried to picture what might be piled at the bottom of the pit: trash and loose gravel and, perhaps, the bodies of dead animalsanimals sprawled and fallen into the abyss, rotting among rock and debris. Human beings, I realized, might also be piled there. I imagined cartel men coming to discard of their unwanted in the night, and I wondered if air would gather around the human form

as it does around a stone, if a fallen body would echo up with the same dull thud from the bottom.

In his book Devils Dictionary, the 19th century writer Ambrose Bierce defines the word ghost as the outward and visible sign of an inward fear. A ghost town, then, could be defined as a place populated by representations of our own innermost fears. In Gunsight, it is easy to feel dread in dark spaces, to feel unease at the signs left by those trafficking in drugs and hungry spirits. But for some, Gunsight is a place to huddle unseen in the darkness, a place to come together and envision a coming wealth. n

Note: This site was visited in an official capacityit is illegal and highly dangerous to enter open mine shafts. Please obey posted signs and trespassing laws when visiting remote ghost towns.

With the 88th Academy Awards set to take place on February 28, there are just a few weeks left to make sure youve seen the best of 2015s film offerings. The Loft Cinema is of course a great place to start for thought-provoking and compelling cinema that gets recognized every year at awards time. They continue to screen excellent films every week, and a pair of films that debut in February are on many critics top films of 2015 lists. Heres a look at those two and another new movie that offers a new look at a pair of brothers in snowy Iceland.

february 5As a couple, played to perfection by screen legend Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay, prepare to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary, ghosts and secrets appear that no one expected to see in the film 45 Years. This grown-up tale of lies and their cost is painful at times, but director Andrew Haigh, expertly handles its central mystery to a satisfying conclusion. This is a very intelligent and savvy look at adults and how we interact. This movie will leave you with lots to talk about afterwards.

february 12After wowing audiences at the Cannes Film Festival in May, Son of Saul has gone on to win 22 awards so far, including the recent Golden Globe for best foreign film, and is poised for Oscar gold. The film follows an Auschwitz prison camp inmate in 1944 who is forced to help dispose of the bodies of his countrymen. But this is no ordinary holocaust film as it operates on a much more personal perspective that has never been seen before. Do not miss a chance to see powerful and devastating film on the big screen, as it is amazing.

february 19Rams, a Cannes Film Festival hit from Iceland tells the touching and bittersweet story of a pair of brothers who have not spoken for 40 years, despite living next door to each other with their respective flocks of sheep. When a livestock crisis arises they must confront the odds, and each other to survive. This is a truly touching story about the bonds that bind in the face of adversity. n

tom Walbank


MEET TOM. You may have seen him riding his bike around Downtown Tucson, proudly sporting his Union Jack helmet. Or perhaps you sat next to him on the streetcar while he was heading to one of his many regular weekly gigshe would have been the guy pushing the baby buggy overflowing with amplifiers and musical instruments. He plays at least five shows a week around town, sometimes more, as well as at the occasional festival elsewhere (this year there will be two such showings at music festivals in Canada) and so, by his own reports, Tom Walbank is more-or-less on a permanent tour of Tucson.

Lucky for us.Born and raised in the southwest of England, Tom, now 46, moved

to Edinburgh, Scotland at the age of twenty. It was there that he met his Californian wife and then moved with her to the states in 1997. He says that leaving Great Britain wasnt exactly a tough call under the circumstances, and that he in fact went quite willinglynot just because of the girl, but also because of the fact that, even though he was performing five nights a week in Scotland, clubs back then were much more interested in hiring DJs than they were lining up live musicians.

He lived in San Francisco for three years, though he says the blues scene there was largely sewn up. As the new guy in town, work was relatively scarce and so Tom and family relocated to Tucson in 2000. His style of electrified Mississippi delta blues, as he calls it, has been a staple on the local music scene ever since.

Tom was fifteen when he bought his first harmonica, inspired to do so after seeing John Lee Hooker on the Blues Brothers movie. He worked as an illustrator for many yearskind of a hidden talent which was quietly spotlighted in his 2015 book, Picture the Bluesmaking band posters and other odds and ends before forming his first band. It wasnt until years later that he finally picked up the guitar, and it was another several years until he transitioned into singing. Tom was already living in Tucson when he eventually took his act solo, building the full-band sound weve come to know, by employing all of his musical talents at once.

Though not (yet) a member of the Tucson Musicians Hall of Fame, Tom was inducted into the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame in 2009. Hes won numerous awards for his harmonica-heavy sound over the years, hes recorded a total of eleven albums of his ownthe most recent of which, titled Lady Day, was released to the public on BandCamp just last monthand has appeared on upwards of twenty-five others, including last years The Lily LP, which was a collaborative effort spearheaded by Tom with the help of local talents like Calexico, Howe Gelb, and Brian Lopez. The album was recorded and released as a fundraiser intended to help send the daughter of the late, great, local blues guitarist Rainer Ptacek to college.

Despite a resume that includes opening for acts like Charlie Musselwhite and BB King, Tom says that theres no slowing down in his line of work if he wants to keep making a regular paycheck. I still hustle, he says, because, if you dont, you dont get work. Tom says he acts simultaneously as his own agent, manager, and recording engineer: he pops in on his regular haunts as well as the new ones as they emerge to see if theres a chance they might invite him to play, he scours concert listings in the same genre as his own and auditions for the warm-up slots, and he takes all responsibility for writing, recording, mixing, promoting, and selling his own albums.

And where that translates directly to a whole heap of work for the musician, it also means a lot of freedom with respect to his schedule, and his music. The Lady Day album, for instance, is anything but traditional. Its nine tracks long and runs a total of just under twenty minutes. Its also mostly instrumental,

features dark-sounding slide dulcimer effects, atypical rhythms, and some ambient noises that are uniquely Tucson, such as the sound of the monsoon rain on Wareika Harp, the train passing on Bamako Hook, and the echo of the Sixth Ave underpass, where he field-recorded the track Sanguine Moon. In that way, Tom may say that playing for so long in the desert southwest hasnt had much of a direct effect on his work, its clear that both Tom and the local music scene have undeniably influenced each other. Its like a river, says Tom with regard to his relationship with blues music in general, and youre just another tributary adding to that river.

Whether hes playing for thirty people at Sky Bar, or 3000 people at a music festival, Tom Walbank insists that he gives each show the same amount of dedication and gustoa fact that is more than apparent to those most familiar with his live performances: You cant do this thing half-cocked, he says of his career as a blues

man. The way you do it, even if youre playing someone elses song, says who you are. And with a work ethic like his, coupled with his balmy down-home sound, its little wonder how Tom Walbank has managed to keep people in Tucson dancing for more than a decade and a half. The blues is a healer, Tom says, and everyone needs their valve to let off steam.

Amen to that. n

Tom Walbanks new album, Lady Day, as well as The Lily LP, are available to stream or download on BandCamp.com. You can find him playing the blues at the Flycatcher on Monday evenings, at the SkyBar and R-Bar on Tuesdays, at Congress on Friday nights, and at Lowes Ventana Canyons regular Sunday BBQ.
