A groundbreaking journey through Maya women’s art, agency, and enduring cultural influenceAddressing the long-standing absence of Maya women in conventional histories of art, this groundbreaking book highlights the artistic accomplishments of Maya women, as well as their broader influence on Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in Mexico, Central America, and beyond. Victoria Isabel Lyall and Michelle Rich also interrogate the perceived division between the ancient Maya and their contemporary descendants, highlighting an often-overlooked, yet vibrant, living culture.Bilingual with English and Spanish text, and richly illustrated with a unique fusion of ancient Maya objects and artworks from contemporary Maya and other Indigenous artists, this book guides readers through nine spaces, examining how Maya women have occupied and transformed them into arenas for intergenerational learning, physical and spiritual nourishment, power, and protest.The spaces explored in the book are:• streets/las calles• plazas/las plazas• markets/los mercados• maize fields/las milpas• patios/los patios• kitchens/las cocinas• the natural world/la naturaleza• the built world/el mundo construido• bodies/los cuerposComplementing Lyall and Rich’s perspective of how each space resonates across time in works of art, profiles of Maya women contribute brief biographies and personal points of view that further underline the significant contributions of Maya women in both ancient times and today.Published in association with the Denver Art Museum and the Dallas Museum of ArtExhibition Schedule:Denver Art Museum(April 18–September 6, 2027)Dallas Museum of Art(October 17, 2027–February 20, 2028)Mississippi Museum of Art(June TK–November TK, 2028)

Archaeology at El Perú-Waka' is the first book to summarize long-term research at this major Maya site. The results of fieldwork and subsequent analyses conducted by members of the El Perú-Waka' Regional Archaeological Project are coupled with theoretical approaches treating the topics of ritual, memory, and power as deciphered through material remains discovered at Waka'. The book is site-centered, yet the fifteen wide-ranging contributions offer readers greater insight to the richness and complexity of Classic-period Maya culture, as well as to the ways in which archaeologists believe ancient peoples negotiated their ritual lives and comprehended their own pasts.El Perú-Waka' is an ancient Maya city located in present-day northwestern Petén, Guatemala. Rediscovered by petroleum exploration workers in the mid-1960s, it is the largest known archaeological site in the Laguna del Tigre National Park in Guatemala's Maya Biosphere Reserve. The El Perú-Waka' Regional Archaeological Project initiated scientific investigations in 2003, and through excavation and survey, researchers established that Waka' was a key political and economic center well-integrated into Classic-period lowland Maya civilization, and reconstructed many aspects of Maya life and ritual activity in this ancient community. The research detailed in this volume provides a wealth of new, substantive, and scientifically excavated data, which contributors approach with fresh theoretical insights. In the process, they lay out sound strategies for understanding the ritual manipulation of monuments, landscapes, buildings, objects, and memories, as well as related topics encompassing the performance and negotiation of power throughout the city's extensive sociopolitical history
