Discover the rich depictions of Border culture in Tom Lea's art with Tom Lea Fellow Mariana Riestra Ahumada. With a background in English and writing, she will explore the complex representations of border culture in Tom Lea's literary works.

Her presentation will culminate in a short poetry reading created by her—a creative response that honors Lea’s legacy.

Also, enjoy a special performance by El Paso Opera inspired by Mariana’s presentation while enjoying light bites.

The Magoffin Home presents a monthly cooking class on the first Saturday of every month. This year, the Magoffin Home is proud to present the 'America250 food history series'; each cooking class will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America and the many communities who have built the City of El Paso. The featured recipe this month is Sweet Potato Pie. Join Gloria as she prepares a pie from the 'El Paso Cookbook', published in 1898. This class is part of a greater celebration: Our America, Our Texas, Our El Paso!
