Description
A Mesoamerican pictorial tradition, rooted in 16th-century New Spain, narrates the foundational events of the conquest from an Indigenous perspective. The Tlaxcalan gaze stands as a visual testimony of alliances and battles, reconfiguring the historical memory of the encounter of two worlds. Its strokes inscribe the legitimacy of a people and their pivotal role in the genesis of New Spain, affirming their identity within the new order.
