Johnson’s Ranch Presentation at the Cinnabar Theatre January 28th 7:30PM
Through the focal point of the only documented aircraft crash at the ranch in 1932, the slide presentation will focus on the unique personal, cultural, and military aviation histories associated with a truly storied place, now but a remote marker and campsite on the River Road in the National Park. A forgotten photograph of a curious metal assembly found walking the area 17 years ago, leads to a search and rediscovery of the part, and the subsequent tying of it to the specific aircraft and crash. The story of the pilot, who later went on to be a German POW and a Brigadier General in the Air Force, helps illuminate a fascinating tale of survival, perseverance, innovation, and satisfaction in a pivotal era of the Lower Big Bend. A cool tale. BYOB with donations to Last Minute Low Budget Productions; Questions - Todd Bureau (432) 386-7846

Earth & Fire Gallery guest artist for January is MFA Jadene Mayla.
Inspired by the awesome scale and rugged topography of Big Bend National Park, which was recognized by National Geographic as one of its “Best of the World” for 2023 among the 25 Most Extraordinary Places and Communities - see NatGeo.com/BestOfTheWorld - her newest series of manipulated photographs highlights distinctive features this region of far west Texas is known for.
Her goal with this and others in the series is to suggest that the viewer look through different eyes to see the landscape from the perspective of a natural mystic (like her). The medium and style choice came out of the way that manipulating photography often highlights or brings to the surface atmospheric details and shadows that otherwise tend to take a back seat to the main subjects. In her direct experience of phenomenological events she would describe as 'mystical' if not 'paranormal,' she often perceives the life of a place in the atmosphere created by that force which animates it.
