📰 News we're reading
• New Mexico Artist Residencies: So Enchanting, You Might Get Entrapped (southwestcontemporary.com) — Several artist residencies in Taos are highlighted here, including the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation, Olamina Global Arts, and multiple Paseo Project programs that offer housing, stipends, or studio space. Taos-based and Taos County artists can apply for opportunities ranging from short stays at Hotel Willa to a funded three-week residency in Vermont, with most deadlines scheduled for 2026 and beyond. 
• Ep. 28: Understanding Nature in a Southwestern State (themeateater.com) — Taos gets a spotlight here as Wheeler Peak and nearby ranges anchor a sweeping look at New Mexico’s unusually rich mix of mountains, plains, canyon country, and desert. Historian Dan Flores traces how scientists mapped life zones from Taos high country to southern deserts, explains the state’s many endangered species, and explores current efforts to restore Mexican wolves and possibly even jaguars.
• The ‘Global Hum' Mystery: Why Some People Hear a Sound Nobody Else Can (breezyscroll.com) — Taos features prominently as one of the world’s best-known hotspots for the mysterious “Global Hum,” a low-frequency noise that some residents reported intensely in the 1990s. This explainer walks through what the Hum is, why only a few people hear it, and the leading scientific theories, from geological vibrations to industrial noise and inner-ear effects.
