HESCAH Lecture | Dr. Dana Leibsohn "Release and Recuperation: Caring for the Colonial in Latin America"

How do colonial creations circulate in the present? What are the ethics of keeping these works alive, remembered, valued? Focusing on modern practices of worship, conservation and collecting, this talk centers works from colonial Latin America, from sculptures of Christ to paintings on amate paper and imported prints. At issue are the ways that colonial histories are re-made and re-cast in the present via decisions about how to care for what once mattered dearly in the past.
