Alba Campo Rosillo, curator of the exhibition American Art from the Thyssen Collection, and Beatriz Robledo, curator at the Museo de América, will be focusing on Native American culture through the collections of their respective museums in a lecture that analyses the traditional lifestyle of the indigenous nations and the transformations they have experienced over time. Centring in particular on Apache culture, this talk will look at aspects such as the puberty ritual, the central role of women and the impact of western culture in order to highlight the cultural resistance movement active in these communities today.

This activity also includes a visit to the Museo de América. Participants will be introduced to its North American collections, which in part derive from 18th-century Spanish expeditions, and will learn about the history and the symbolic and ceremonial world of these societies. Limited place numbers.
