Description
Tlaxcalan memory of the Conquest unfolds in a Mesoamerican pictorial tradition flourishing in 16th-century New Spain. An indigenous perspective reinterprets foundational events, narrating the alliance and Tlaxcala's central role in shaping the new order. This visual corpus articulates its own history, where native agency challenges the hegemony of peninsular narratives.
