Saturday, April 25, 3:30 pm New York (EST) time, In-Person: the New York Map Society has arranged for a “Members Only” (including members’ families and Plus-Ones!) private tour of an upcoming exhibition at the Hispanic Society by LA-based Chicana artist Sandy Rodriguez: “Tierra Insurgente,” on display April 9 – June 28. Her work, on handmade amate bark paper using natural pigments, will be placed in dialogue with colonial-era cartography, allegories of the Americas, ethnobotanical books, and Indigenous manuscripts, colonial administrative documents, early accounts of the Americas, and objects from the Hispanic Society globes collection that are rarely displayed — all told, about 16 historical maps. RSVP to kapochunas@gmail.com to reserve a place (places).
