Description
A 16th-century Mesoamerican pictorial tradition narrates the conquest of Mexico from the perspective of its indigenous protagonists. It documents the complex alliance between Tlaxcala and the conquistadors, reconfiguring the hegemonic narrative of the invasion. Its scenes unfold a visual universe where ancestral memory intertwines with the new colonial order, asserting a unique identity in the face of cultural imposition.
