Logan Lecture: Sandra Monterroso
Through video performances and woven works, Sandra Monterroso explores the dynamics of Indigenous identity and culture in a postcolonial world. Monterroso specifically considers women’s work and sacrifice in a post-civil war Guatemala. An artist of Maya Q’eqchi descent, her practice is further informed by Maya cosmology and incorporates her understanding of the world as it is now, highly interconnected and spiritual.
Join Victoria I. Lyall, the Frederick and Jan Mayer Curator of Arts of the Ancient Americas, in conversation with Sandra Monterroso about her practice. Monterroso’s work, Colorando las Hebras (2011) and Decolorando las Hebras (2011), are currently on view in the Martin Building on level 4. Learn more about these artworks on our blog.
This lecture is presented jointly by the departments of the Ancient Arts of the Americas and Modern and Contemporary Art. The talk will be held in person in Sharp Auditorium and also streamed online via Zoom. Buy a virtual ticket.
The Logan Lecture Series is sponsored by Vicki and Kent Logan.
