The first major visual and cultural exploration of the legacy of La Malinche, simultaneously reviled as a traitor to her people and hailed as the mother of Mexico “Malinche herself comes through. She is not an idea or a myth but a person. And she is ablaze with life.”—Angelica Aboulhosn, Humanities An enslaved Indigenous girl who became Hernán Cortés’s interpreter and cultural translator, Malinche stood at center stage in one of the most significant events of modern history. Linguistically gifted, she played a key role in the transactions, negotiations, and conflicts between the Spanish and the Indigenous populations of Mexico that shaped the course of global politics for centuries to come. As mother to Cortés’s firstborn son, she became the symbolic progenitor of a modern Mexican nation and a heroine to Chicana and Mexicana artists. Traitor, Survivor, Icon is the first major publication to present a comprehensive visual exploration of Malinche’s enduring impact on communities living on both sides of the US-Mexico border. Five hundred years after her death, her image and legacy remain relevant to conversations around female empowerment, indigeneity, and national identity throughout the Americas. This book establishes and examines her symbolic import and the ways in which artists, scholars, and activists have appropriated her image to interpret and express their own experiences and agendas, from the 1500s through today.

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)

This volume presents the work of ten scholars who shared their research at the Denver Art Museum's 2017 symposium hosted by the Frederick and Jan Mayer Center for Pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial Art. Centered on the theme of murals, each chapter discusses how this art form functions as a powerful tool for the expression of political, social, or religious ideas across diverse time periods and cultures in the Americas, from the ancient rock cave paintings of Guerrero, Mexico, to the murals of the 1960s Chicano movement. Artist Judy Baca discusses her practice with Jesse Laird Ortega (Denver Art Museum).Claudia Brittenham (University of Chicago) considers the Rainbow Serpent mural from Chichen Itza's Temple of the Chacmool.Severin Fowles (Barnard College) and Lindsay Montgomery (University of Arizona) reevaluate rock art across the American plains and Southwest. Kelley Hays-Gilpin (Northern Arizona University) and Hopi artist Ed Kabotie survey dry fresco mural painting in Hopi, Zuni, Acoma, and Rio Grande Pueblo communities from the fifteenth century to the present.Heather Hurst (Skidmore College) reconstructs the sequence of drawing the Oxtotitlán cave paintings in Guerrero, Mexico, some of the earliest mural paintings in Mesoamerica.Lucha Martinez de Luna (INAH/independent scholar) examines how Chicano artists used mural arts to make statements about identity and cultural heritage in the context of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, with a focus on Denver artists.Franco Rossi (Boston University) provides a detailed examination of the Xultun mural images and texts, which shed light on the training of Classic Maya scribes and the transmission of artistic knowledge.Maria Teresa Uriarte (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México) brings thirty years' insight to the striking iconography of the murals of Teotihuacan.
