The Truth About 250-150 is a free, immersive gallery installed inside a renovated school bus, a cargo trailer, a tipi, and a shade tent. Created in response to Colorado's 150th anniversary and the nation's 250th, it challenges official state narratives and bears witness to the legacy of violence, land dispossession, and systemic injustice against Native peoples — amplifying Native voices through murals, interactive installations, a zine, youth art, audio, and video. The experience combines education, artistry, and somatic practice to invite guests into healing, reflection and reparations. See website for full tour info.

Wonder looks good on you
Culture creates vibrancy for us individually and collectively. It gives our kids a unique perspective and understanding of the world. It inspires all of us to get off the couch, discover the radical and the beautiful, and stretches our capacity to be transformed. Through our diverse, local culture, we come together, we come to new ideas, we come to our senses.
