THE MANTON FOUNDATION ANNUAL OROZCO LECTURE: “From Terra Nova to Aztlán"

“From Terra Nova to Aztlán: The Politics of Territory in Latinx Printmaking”

Thursday, May 18, 2023
5:00pm – 6:00pm
Gilman Auditorium, Hood Museum of Art
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Arts, Exhibitions, Lectures & Seminars

Tatiana Reinoza, assistant professor of art history, University of Notre Dame, will explore representations of territory by contemporary Latinx printmakers that question current nativist and xenophobic discourses while critiquing the medium’s historical complicity in the colonization of the Americas. She will consider how these artists build on José Clemente Orozco’s The Epic of American Civilization (1932–34) by challenging ideas associated with white supremacy and Manifest Destiny.
