UVA in Mexico: Muralism, Indigeneity & Contemporary Art in Cholula
Summer Session program directed by Federico Cuatlacuatl
This course is a studio art structured time of working together on a mural in Cholula, Mexico. While working collectively on a mural, this course will also focus on the history, culture, and indigeneity specific to Cholula. Learning about contemporary artists and muralists in Mexico will also be an emphasis in the course. To better understand the local complex history, the class will visit archaeological sites and museums. Contemporary galleries and museum site visits will also be an important part of the course activities with dedicated time to the City of Puebla. Guest artists from Mexico will share their knowledge and artistic practice with the class to better understand contemporary art in Mexico and Latin America.
