This two-day symposium focuses on the visual representation of Peru from
the colonial period through the nineteenth century. Along with the
exhibition it accompanies, the symposium is the culmination of a project
to study, publish, and exhibit two illuminated chronicles of the history
of Peru written by the Spanish Mercedarian friar Martín de Murúa, and
illustrated by at least two artists, including the native Peruvian Felipe
Guaman Poma de Ayala.
