Join us for lunch and a slide presentation. Zamora discusses aspects of her ongoing research examining female knowledge and leadership in MeXicana
(Indigenous Mexican and Chicana) performance, visual arts and spiritual traditions. Her work traces a genealogy of ideas about the body's relationship to spirit and explores art/performance as energy movement. Zamora looks to the precolumbian Indigenous painted books of Central Mexico and traces concepts to their expression in current MeXicano cultural productions including Danza Azteca and Chicana-Indígena visual and literary arts. She is interested in exploring methodologies for a radical historiography that can account for a spiritual agency of the historical subject.
