Students formed groups of three or more and used at least three of seven art mediums: music, fashion design, creative writing, digital arts, visual arts, theater and dance. They were given a theme, “intimacy,” four prompts, all of which had to be used in the art work, and 24 hours starting on the evening of Thursday, March 26, to complete “...

Let’s go outside: Act One Culture Passes

By Natalia Serrano Act One Culture Pass stand at PCC West Campus. Photo by Natalia Serrano. As a Tucson native, I can say I have not experienced enough of the arts culture here in town. There are dozens of art and history museums in Tucson, and thanks to something offered at Pima, I was able to get out to the Tucson Museum of Art. All PCC libraries offer what is called a Culture Pass. The Culture Pass is through an organization called Act One. Act One has been in operation since 2011, and was created because there was a need for more funding for field trips at Title 1 schools. Their goal is to make sure Arizona schools and families get the experiences they deserve in their communities, primarily focusing on helping schools incorporate art experiences and field t...

A party everyone is welcome to

By Natalia Serrano Activities held during the Mitski listening party at Heroes and Villains. Photo courtesy of Heroes and Villains. Since the rise of social media and streaming services, physical media has taken an unfortunate backseat. After we were all locked in our houses during COVID, the “listening party” had come back into popularity and is becoming more standard day by day. I went to Heroes and Villains, a locally owned comic/game/record store, and spoke to one of the managers, Ofelia Ledesma, to get a little more insight into this popular event. According to Ledesma, the listening party is an event hosted by Record Store Day (RSD). RSD is a company that works closely with record labels to help promote the release of a new album to the fans and general public....

Requiem for horror: A detailed Resident Evil series recap

By Quinn Smalley It has been two years since the release of Resident Evil 4 Remake was released and it doesn’t seem like that universe’s struggles with Bioterrorism is subsiding anytime soon with the newest installment, Resident Evil 9 Requiem. The series is well known for its gore, striking visuals, disturbing monster designs, iconic cast of recurring characters and its rich lore. Across eight, going on nine mainline entries, the lore runs deep and with the newest entry seemingly attempting to bring the series full circle with the one of the settings being a ruined Raccoon City, the tragic viral zombie infested city where the series began. With Resident Evil 9 (RE9) releasing at the end of February, for newcomers to the series, there’s a lot of ground lore-wise. For t...

Bruno Mars is “The Romantic”

By Natalia Serrano Bruno Mars, accompanied by an unnamed mariachi in the “Risk It All” music video. Bruno Mars has graced listeners with his fifth studio album titled “The Romantic.” Mars last released a solo album in 2016, with a brief power duo era with Anderson .Paak in 2021. Since his last studio release, he has been staying busy. He has been a resident in Las Vegas since 2016, opened a lounge at The Bellagio hotel called The Pinky Ring, and has had great success with a couple of singles recently, with “APT.” with Rosé in 2024 and “Die With a Smile” with Lady Gaga in 2025. In “The Romantic,” we definitely see the romantic side of Mars that we have known. The album begins with “Risk It All,” which opens with a medley of trumpets and strings in a b...

Café con Bad Bunny: A breakdown of Bad Bunny’s historic halftime performance

By Quinn Smalley Amid the chaos of the American political system, there was a brief break in the conflict. For one night, most of America united to watch Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, a.k.a. Bad Bunny, and his eagerly anticipated halftime performance at the Superbowl LX on Feb. 8, 2026. Bad Bunny’s performance was historic, being the first time a performer completed a set on one of the world’s biggest stages entirely in Spanish. It also served as meaningful representation for Puerto Ricans and the Latin American community as a whole. And like most halftime shows, Bad Bunny’s performance was rife with symbolism and political statements meant to be thought-provoking, honest, moving and, most of all, unifying. The halftime performance began with a prerecorded film transportin...

Rodeo 101: This ain’t my first rodeo, but if it’s yours, here are some things to know

By Natalia Serrano A "bucking bronco" at the Tucson Rodeo. Photo by Justin Doherty. La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros, otherwise known as the Tucson Rodeo, turns 101 this year. The rodeo began in 1925 during the prohibition era, and serves as a Tucson timestamp. The rodeo is a celebrated event in town, with Tucson schools having Thursday and Friday off before the finals. The event is considered one of the top 25 rodeo events in the country. The event is so large that it has brought in $17 million to the Tucson economy in recent years. Now, if you are planning to attend the main rodeo events at the rodeo fairgrounds, it's important to know a couple of things. For starters, official parking is cash only and is right next to the grounds. There is parking at some surrounding busine...
