popular religiosity

Altarpieces, masks, mangers and figures of saints are some of the pieces that attempt to account for the syncretism present in the American territory, in countries that, despite their heterogeneity, maintain miscegenation as a common foundation.

Objects ranging from paintings to images of devotion, attempt to represent this exchange of practices and beliefs of Catholicism with the modes of religiosity of our native peoples.

The exhibition attempts to reveal the particular condition of Latin American devotional objects, relating a wide diversity of forms, materialities and contexts in pieces from Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador, Brazil, Guatemala, Cuba and Mexico.
