AMUM SEMINAR ON “THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE AMERICAS: A JOURNEY TOWARDS COLONIAL ART”
AMUM, always in love with culture, has the pleasure of inviting you to this magnificent seminar given by Dr. José Ignacio Mayorga Chamorro, which will take us to a world, the Ibero-American, and to an art, the colonial. A walk that, section by section, will discover the exciting artistic territories, marked by miscegenation, polychromy or imaginative creation, which arise from the union of different experiences, capable of being understood thanks to that universal language that is art.
