Specifically, this class examines select regions and their artworks to understand the role of the visual arts within a range of varied Latin American cultures. This class explores select visual practices to highlight the ways in which Latin American artists have built on the region's shared artistic legacies as well as adapted to outside influences. This course explores the legacy of violent colonization and impacts of European conquest, while also tracing the development of colonial societies and their national independence in the early nineteenth century. The course pays special consideration to Latin America's enduring legacies and dynamic processes of change.",
