Details
Ancient Mesoamericans innovated sophisticated traditions for marking the passage of time: a 365-day solar calendar and a 260-day calendar for divination. Join curator Kristopher Driggers, Ph.D., for a talk exploring how Mesoamerican artworks express cultural ideas about the relationships between time, identity, and fate. Select attendees will have an opportunity to learn what primary sources say about their own calendrical fate as recorded in the Florentine Codex, an important manuscript from Nahua Mexico.
Lecture admission is $5 or free for members and students.
