SUMMARY:Contemporary Mexican Featherwork: An Ancient Tradition
DESCRIPTION:\nDr. María Olvido Moreno will discuss the history and evolution of Mexican featherwork.\nWednesday, May 04, 2016\n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM\nBunche Hall 6275\nHistory Conference Room\nUCLA\nDr. María Olvido Moreno Guzmán\nCoordinator of “Project Prehispanic Mural Painting in Mexico”\nInstituto de Investigaciones Estéticas, UNAM, Mexico\nAncient Mexico’s featherwork technology is lost. This artistic expression was built on centuries of accumulated knowledge and technical improvements. We know of the existence of featherwork art in Prehispanic Mexico thanks to archaeology and the various Mesoamerican art forms such as ceramics, stone sculptures, codices, and mural paintings.\nIn the imaginary collective, there is a false belief that current Mexican feather-work shares the same techniques and materials of Pre-Columbian and colonial times. In fact, contemporary amantecas (featherwork artists) apply techniques that have little to do with those of the earlier periods. Today’s featherwork should be considered and appreciated as an evolution of this art form.\nCost: Free & Open to the Public\nSpecial Instructions\nThe closest parking lot is Structure #3.
