ConnectArte: Power, Politics and Primordial Landscapes in Aztec Solar-Year Rituals
Wednesday, February 1, 6 to 8 p.m.
Museo de las Americas, 861 Santa Fe Drive

In the sixteenth century, the Aztecs of central Mexico celebrated rituals tied to the solar calendar, such as the New Fire ceremony, which celebrated the dawn of a new era. At this discussion of the Aztec ceremonies that took place in the capital city of Tenochtitlan (modern-day Mexico City), Catherine DiCesare, associate professor of Art History at Colorado State University, will examine how and why sixteenth-century Aztec rituals evoked the mythical exploits of gods and ancient kings. Doors open at 6 for a reception, and the lecture will start at 6:30 p.m.; admission is $10 for non-members. Find out more here.
