This Zoom meeting will explore visual cues and optical tools employed by experts to reveal the macro and micro aspects of human-visual traces in colourants and indigenous pigmentation as well as revelations about scent and taste worlds of the past that inform the present. The combined speakers and the engaged dialogue that will follow with the audience will reveal the deep entanglements of the senses in visual and material culture among traditions spanning North and South America anthropology, archaeology, art history and history.
Speakers:
- Élodie Dupey García (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México): "Creating the Wind: Color, Materiality, and the Senses in the Images of a Nahua Deity"
- Celine Erauw (Cambridge): "Scent and taste in ancient Peru: an inaccessible quest? What can zooarchaeology and archaeology tell us?"
- Christina Gish Hill (Iowa State University): "Seeds To Feed The People: Indigenous Food Sovereignty in the Upper Midwest (USA)"
