ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
www.newberry.o...
Inspired by the 500th anniversary of the conquest of Mexico, this symposium explored how modern audiences can recover premodern Indigenous American voices and perspectives obscured by European colonization. A diverse group of researchers in art history, history, cartography, literature, and beyond presented items from the rich collection of colonial materials in the Edward E. Ayer collection at the Newberry Library. Through lightning talks and discussions, the symposium contributed to a larger conversation at the Newberry about telling the stories of marginalized peoples to contemporary audiences.
Co-hosted and cosponsored by the D’Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies at the Newberry Library.
