On Wednesday, April 3rd, SPO Lecturer Cloe Cavero and Assistant Curator Jun Nakamura organized a workshop with original prints and drawings from the Princeton University Art Museum for the course SPA 245 / LAS 245 Visions of the Hispanic World in Firestone Library.

The selection included works made by prominent artists active in Spain and Mexico from the 17^th to the 20^th century, from Jusepe de Ribera, Francisco de Herrera el Mozo, Francisco de Goya, and Mariano Fortuny, to José Guadalupe Posada, José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, Leopoldo Méndez, Jean Charlot, and Miguel Covarrubias.

The combined display of objects stimulated thought-provoking connections between them, as well as a lively discussion about core themes of the course, such as the relationship between art and truth, the fraught representation of the indigenous Other in visual culture, the formation of the art historical canon, and artists’ agency in the making and unmaking of power.
