"Cave, City, and Eagles Nest: Rediscovered Mexican Codex"
Davíd Carrasco (Harvard University)
Membership Lecture, The New Mexico History Museum Auditorium
Dr. David Carrasco, historian of religions, presents an illustrated
lecture on a
recently recovered early 16th century Mexican Codex. Painted by native
Mexican
artists, the codex narrates their sacred history and unique cosmology.
Using a
variety of interpretive methods, including infra-red and ultra-violet
photography,
Dr. Carrasco uncovers the many-layered, complex symbolic and visual work of
indigenous artists struggling to depict their world in the early decades
of Spanish
colonialism.
