April 4 “Beyond the Retablo: Overlooked Sculpture in Colonial Latin America” 4:00 pm, Greenleaf Conference Room, Roger Thayer Stone Center for Latin American Studies. A one-day workshop on the art of colonial Latin America that will bring together, in-person, a small group of scholars from different latitudes to Tulane’s historic campus. During our day together, we will present short papers and discuss ideas on the topic “Beyond the Retablo: Overlooked Sculpture in Colonial Latin America.” The rationale is this: across Latin America, the best-known sculptures are those found in original contexts, such as the church retablo and facades, but publics in colonial-era Latin America engaged with a range of sculptural objects that have subsequently been overlooked by the field of art history.
