Join MOA for a series of special curator tours exploring the feature exhibition Tupananchiskama with guest curator, Luis Manuel González.Tupananchiskama: Ancient Andean Cosmovision explores the enduring worldviews of ancient Andean civilizations through nearly 100 exquisite pre-Columbian ceramic, textile, bone and wood works, some dating back more than 2,500 years.
These works were collected by former UBC Professor Alan R. Sawyer and donated to MOA. This exhibition highlights Andean cosmovision—a holistic and spiritual understanding of the universe grounded in reciprocity, balance, and the recognition of nature as a living being. Far more than artistic objects, the belongings on display embody relationships between humans, ancestors, and sacred forces.
These 45-minute tours with guest curator, Luis Manuel González (Adjunct Professor, Department of Anthropology at UBC) will provide visitors with a special opportunity to see the process and stories behind the exhibition.
Capacity of 30 people per tour; first come, first served.
