Constitucion De Malolos

Description

The Malolos Constitution, a milestone of Philippine sovereignty, finds a complex antecedent in the Spanish visual imaginary of the 16th and 17th centuries. This collection explores representations of authority and law projected by Spain onto its overseas dominions. It delves into the foundational iconography of viceregal power and the articulation of a legal order from the metropolis. The focus rests on the gestation of a system that, centuries later, would be confronted by new aspirations for self-governance.
