In 2021 during the Covid pandemic, the Wheelwright Museum and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum partnered to produce a short 10-minute film celebrating the diverse cultural connection of Santa Fe. The film, Following Enchantment’s Line, was directed by acclaimed filmmaker and artist Steven J. Yazzie (Diné/Laguna Pueblo/Anglo) and showcased the nationally renowned dancers Jock Soto (Navajo/Puerto Rican) and Harrison Coll. The soundscape featured the music of classical composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate (Chickasaw Nation).

The film premiered in online event on June 24, 2021. “In convening this group of artists to produce the film, our goal is to bring a moment of art and even transcendence into people’s living rooms through the powerful beauty of dance, music, and cinematography,” said Liz Neely, Curator of Digital Experience for the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. The Wheelwright Museum and O’Keeffe Museum are the proud recipients of a Digital Collaborative Impact grant–a new collaborative opportunity funded by the City of Santa Fe Arts and Culture Department’s Cultural Investment Funding Program. “This film, as I see it, is being created as a dedication to many things, including gesture, rhythm and pace, the poetic, unexplained symbols, history, and the Indigenous culture that is Santa Fe,” explained Wheelwright Museum former Chief Curator, Andrea R. Hanley (Navajo).
