Malintzin Unraveled and Rewoven

Show Curator and Creator Lilian Lara takes us on a tour of Malintzin: Unraveled and Rewoven, an immersive journey that untangles one of Mexico’s most captivating icons. Loosing the threads of Malinche and reweaving them into a jungle of fabric foliage and textiles, the show reflects an evolving interpretation of Malintzin's power as a woman caught in impossible situations. The show ran from March 31st to May 5th, 2022 at the CU Denver Experience Gallery (formerly the Next Stage Gallery) and was presented free and open to the public. Inspired by DAM’s “Traitor, Survivor, Icon: The Legacy of La Malinche,” this installation brought Denver-based artists Lilian Lara, Norbeto Mojardin, and CU Denver Professor Bryan Leister and his students to examine the polarizing figure that served as a bridge between the Aztec and Spanish empires. This exhibition was a partnership among the Latino Culture Arts Center (LCAC), CU Denver’s College of Arts & Media (CAM), and the Denver Art Museum. "What excites me most about Malintzin: Unraveled and Rewoven is for people to 'rediscover' Malinche's story and to celebrate her. To have conversations of what it means to be a powerful, intelligent, brave, Indigenous woman.  I chose to work with fabric because clothing is a commanding presence in how Malintzin/Malinche is depicted. Clothing is a visual representation of one’s power and status. In the Tillet Tapestry “The Conquest of Mexico” we see Malintzin dressed in intricately woven huipils leading the people. I want her to be viewed as a real person, not just a historical figure, and for women to see themselves reflected in her story." - Show Curator and Creator Lilian Lara Video created by Steve Bernini Music Used: Komiku - Bleu, Ethereal by Punch Deck, Ambient and Emotional Cinematic by bdProductions
