Events Description
The Museum of Anthropology at UBC (MOA) presents the world premiere of Tupananchiskama: Ancient Andean Cosmovision, on display at MOA.
Guest curated by Luis Manuel González, Adjunct Professor in UBC Department of Anthropology, the bilingual (English and Spanish) exhibition offers a glimpse into Andean cosmovision–a holistic and spiritual framework that explains the structure of the universe–through an exploration of MOA’s collection of ancient Andean artifacts. Featuring nearly 100 items crafted from ceramic, textile, bone, shell, and wood, the exhibition considers the ancestral understandings of a world where life and death coexist in a continuous cycle, or “Tupananchiskama” in the Indigenous language of Quechua, which translates to “until life brings us together again.” To learn more about the exhibition, as well as ancillary events, visit moa.ubc.ca
