Description
A Mesoamerican pictorial tradition unfolds in the 16th century, narrating the history of Tlaxcala and its role in the conquest of Anáhuac. The canvas, as a monumental format, becomes the privileged support for indigenous historical memory. From this perspective, the alliance with the Spanish crown is inscribed within a complex framework of political negotiation and cultural affirmation. A visual testimony that reconfigures the epic of the conquest, projecting the identity of a people into the new viceregal order.
