We still are not over our latest Klein GO trip in New Mexico! 
Check out how Multimedia Scholar, Faith Brennan, was able to explore the deserts of Ghost Ranch with some of her amazing photos of the site.

Hello again, here's what our second half of the trip looked like!

Wednesday we traveled to Santa Fe, NM, one of the densest artist markets in the United States. We started the day at the New Mexico History Museum before splitting up to explore the city. Some students visited churches and admired the architecture, while others met Native artists and learned about their craft.

Santa Fe’s museums gave us plenty to see, including the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, and the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture. After lunch, we regrouped at Andrea Fisher Fine Pottery, where an expert guided us through local Pueblo craftsmanship and introduced us to emerging artists 🖌️

Thursday at Ghost Ranch was led with a Georgia O’Keeffe landscape tour, where she spent much of her life painting the dramatic red clay hills and Southwestern terrain. The afternoon was spent interviewing, documenting, and visiting the Ruth Hall Museum of Paleontology.

Friday we woke up to snow falling in the desert, and squalls throughout our horseback riding across open land. Many of us had never ridden before, and I’d absolutely recommend it. 🐎

The day ended with more hiking, journaling, photographing, and a final group reflection on what we learned together. I also made time to revisit my horse, Pancake, and search for birds. 🔎🪶
This short trip only scratches the surface of what we experienced. I’ll share more reflections in my post-departure blog, but for now I’m grateful for the friendships and memories made along the way 🏜️🌵

Our Multimedia Scholar at DCU, Winta Teferi, is checking in with a blog from Ireland! In this blog, Winta reflects on adapting to her new environment in Dublin.

Here’s a snippet about what she has to say about her time in Dublin:

“I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and find belonging somewhere I’ve never been. Studying abroad in Dublin with Klein GO presented itself as the perfect way to do so.”
