Dr. Angela Marie Herren: Journey to Mexico Conference

Dr. Angela Marie Herren is organizing the following conference to take place at UNC Charlotte April 23 – 25, 2009:

Journey to Mexico
An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Travel to Mexico as Reflected in Art and Architecture of the 16th – 21st Centuries

A joint collaboration between the Universidad Iberoamericana and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, this conference brings together an international group of scholars from multiple disciplines to explore physical, mental, and spiritual migration to, from, and within Mexico as recorded in Mexican art and architecture of the 16th to 21st centuries. In different centuries and in different locations, “Mexican” and “Mexico” takes on varied meanings. The name of the present-day country derives from the “Mexica” people who once ruled Central Mexico. Conference participants examine the “Journey to Mexico” in a fluid way that explores early recorded migration histories as well as later ideological journeys.

This conference is supported by: The William Wilson Brown Jr. Conference Fund, Universidad Iberoamericana, UNCC College of Arts + Architecture, UNCC Department of Art and Art History, UNCC Latin American Studies Program, and UNCC Education Abroad.
