Product Description
For nearly 500 years, the existence and contributions of the African descendents in Mexico have been overlooked. Almost a century after Africans arrived in Mexico in 1519, Yanga, an African leader, founded the first free African township in the Americas (January 6, 1609). Since then, Africans have continued to contribute their cultural, musical and culinary traditions to Mexican culture through the present day. No exhibition has showcased the history, artistic expressions, and practices of the Afro-Mexicans in such a broad scope as this one, which includes a comprehensive range of artwork from the 18th Century Colonial Caste Paintings to contemporary artistic expressions.
