Minneapolis Institute of Art presents "ReVision: Art in the Americas"

From July 1 through September 17, "ReVisión: Art in the Americas" will be on view at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, an exhibition organized by the Denver Art Museum.
Spanish colonization involved cultural syncretism, conflicts over heritage, and the region's history. As a result, a new identity was shaped with aspects of Spanish culture along with the customs and traditions of the Africans and Native Americans who already inhabited the region.
The exhibition brings together around 130 objects from the Denver Art Museum's collections of ancient art from American and Latin American civilizations, which narrate the history of the formation of the American continent. The exhibition includes works from 100 B.C. to contemporary works. Themes such as identity, natural resource extraction, territory, and territory displacement, among others, are explored. "ReVision: Art in the Americas" establishes relationships between ancient and contemporary artworks that question political, social, and cultural precepts within the cultural heritage of the Americas.
