Kislak Fellows in Review, presented by Claire Lavarreda
Monday, May 11, 2-3 p.m.
Join Claire Lavarreda, research fellow of the Jay I. Kislak Collection, for an online showcase and presentation, moderated by Daniel Arbino, Jay I. Kislak Chair and Curator. Lavarreda’s research investigates Indigenous labor, expertise, and intellectual authority in the production of Catholic texts in New Spain from 1570 to 1810. Her forthcoming dissertation uses a book history approach to show how Catholic works functioned as sites of blended epistemologies, shaped not only by European clerics but also by the Indigenous artists, scribes, translators, and printers who materially created, revised, and circulated them. During her residency with the Kislak Collection, Lavarreda focused on a chapter of her dissertation that examines woodcuts and copperplate engravings in Marian texts to trace Indigenous artistic contributions and visual influences. Following the presentation, there will be a Q&A with the online audience. Register to attend.
