Join MoFA and experience our newest exhibition Conversaciones: Latin American Indigenous Art.
This exhibition invites visitors to explore the dialogue between ancient and contemporary Latin American art. Conversaciones: Latin American Indigenous Art features newly acquired works by Ana De Orbegoso a New York-based Peruvian-American interdisciplinary artist and Nadín Ospina an acclaimed Colombian painter and sculptor. Their innovative pieces are presented alongside rarely exhibited treasures from FSU’s collections including Maya textiles ancient Andean ceramics metalwork and other artifacts.
Drawing on FSU faculty expertise in ancient Latin American art history and archaeology the exhibition offers enriched discussions of the contexts in which ancient Moche and Nasca objects were deployed enriching the conversations about their meanings across time. Through this interplay the exhibition explores Indigenous concepts of animacy materiality and sacrality the connections between bodies and landscapes and evolving notions of identity.
By bridging the ancient and the contemporary Conversaciones celebrates the enduring vitality of Latin American Indigenous art and thought. Additional featured artists include Christian Bendayán Lastenia Canayo García (Pecón Quena) Hoesy Corona Francisca Rojas Pohlhammer Rufino Tamayo the De La Torre Brothers and Kukuli Velarde.
