Join us for this ConnectArte Mexican art history lecture in collaboration with Amigos de las Artes Americanas.
James M. Cordova, PhD., Associate Professor of Art History, Latin American Art (Pre-Columbian and Colonial), University of Colorado, Boulder will talk about the role of flowers in colonial Mexican images of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Flowers linked crucial aspects of Indigenous cosmology with Christianity in colonial Mexico and made for a compelling story and image of the Virgin. Flowers were also linked to Indigenous notions of luminescence, nobility, and the afterlife, all of which have bearing the way we understand Guadalupe and her image today.
Admission is FREE to members of Museo or Amigos, $10 for non-members.
Registration required.
