Forms of Expressive Maya Culture in Guatemala

The Maya are well known for their pictorial expressions, their writing, and dances, especially those performed before the European invasion. This webinar will focus on the connection between those ancient
expressions and their colonial and modern correlates. Although in Western societies many of the artistic expressions are disconnected from the communities from which they arise, in the Maya worlds these
are a crucial element of their reproduction a s societies but also for their association with ritual, political and historical memory contexts.
