The lecture will explore how the production of objects and patterns establishes bridges between different registers of reality.
Indigenous American arts are part of a complex system in which the finished craft is often as important as the gestures involved in its manufacture. The lecture will explore through examples from Pre-Columbian and historic cultures of the Americas how the production of objects and patterns establishes bridges between different registers of reality and the beings that populate Amerindian cosmologies.
