Lecture: Moche Monumental Art of Ancient Peru
Description
The Albuquerque International Association will host a public talk by Dr. Margaret Jackson, Associate Professor of Ancient American Art History at UNM.
Synopsis: If pyramids could talk what might they tell us? Over a span of 800 years or more, the Moche people of Peru’s north coast created dazzling works in precious metals, textiles and ceramics, leaving behind an extensive corpus of vivid pictorial imagery. Focusing on major mural cycles at the Huaca de La Luna/Pyramid of the Moon, and related materials from the Royal Tombs of Sipan and other sites, this talk will address these questions and highlight the speaker’s personal investigations of Moche art.
