Fri Aug 29: Art for the People
Art and activism go hand in hand--just look at political posters, propaganda T-shirts and protest songs. Art also helps preserve and empower a populous, especially here in dynamic New Mexico. West End Press, the South Broadway Cultural Center and the Harwood Art Center team up to bring the Albuquerque Cultural Conference today through Sunday. The event focuses on the indigenous rights of New Mexicans, including economic development, land and water use, border issues, and more. Tonight at 7 p.m., poets Linda Hogan, Simon Ortiz, Demetria Martinez, Levi Romero, Margaret Randall and Luci Tapahonso open the conference with a reading at the South Broadway Cultural Center (1025 Broadway SE). Admission is $11. For details, visit albuquerqueculturalconference.org. (AD)

Tap into your sultry side. Tonight, Fem-O-Liton, the state's premier femme burlesque variety show, returns to the KiMo Theatre (423 Central NW).

The show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the KiMo box office or $15 with annoying service charges through TicketMaster. For more info, visit femmeolition.com. (SN)

Sat Aug 30: It's OK to Wine
Stop drinking that boxed wine, fool. The New Mexico Wine Festival returns for another long weekend of "tasting" our state's many fine boozes. Most New Mexico wineries will be there, so bring a cleansed palate and some cash to swish and stock up while you can. Attractions include tons of music, art, crafts, food and watching your fellow man slip into an embarrassing drunk-dance. The festival takes place from noon to 7 p.m. today, Sunday and Monday at 243 S. Camino Del Pueblo in historic Bernalillo. Admission is $10 at the gate, $11 online (includes a commemorative wine glass), $5.50 for persons 13 to 20 years old and 50 cents for anyone younger.
