Imagining the Conquest of Mexico: Kevin Terraciano Explores the Spanish Conquest of the Aztec Empire

This event occurred on March 12, 2014. In the first part of this two-part lecture series at the Getty Research Institute, UCLA professor Kevin Terraciano explores how the Spanish Conquest of 16th-century Aztec Mexico was documented visually in books and prints, comparing the divergent Indigenous and Spanish accounts. In conjunction with the exhibition “Connecting Seas: A Visual History of Discoveries and Encounters,” this lecture series documents how people have crossed seas to discover other cultures, from 16th-century Aztec Mexico to the 19th-century Belgian Congo. Internationally renowned scholars Kevin Terraciano and Adam Hochschild elucidate how historic moments of cultural encounter and colonial exploitation were captured visually in books, prints, and photographs.
