Description

Linkgua Ediciones' Visual gallery is honored to present a profound exploration of the iconography of the <b>Tira de la Peregrinación</b>, an essential artistic and documentary corpus for understanding pre-Hispanic and viceregal Mexico. Originating in the 16th century, this collection of pictographic sheets, also known as the Boturini Codex, visually narrates the epic journey of the Mexica from Aztlán to the founding of Tenochtitlan, a foundational chronicle for the nation's identity. The works exhibited here, which include the emblematic <i>Tira de la Peregrinación, lámina 13</i> and selected pages from the influential <i>Códice Borgia</i>, reveal the sophistication of Mesoamerican art and writing. Through human figures, animals, and complex glyphs, each image testifies to the cosmogonic thought, social organization, and profound spirituality of the indigenous peoples. This collection not only showcases the technical mastery of the <i>tlacuilos</i>, the Nahua painter-scribes, but also underscores the enduring presence of a visual language that transcends centuries. Linkgua invites you to unravel the ancestral narrative that forms the crucible of Hispanic American culture, a legacy that continues to inspire.
