Description
From the heart of Mesoamerica, an indigenous pictorial tradition narrates the foundational events of New Spain. Mid-16th century, this iconography records the strategic alliance and Tlaxcalan participation in the Hispanic expansion. The ensemble articulates its own vision, where indigenous agency redefines historical development and its place in the new order. Its deeply symbolic scenes project the identity of a people who forged their destiny at the crossroads of two worlds.
