DESCRIPTION:Join research fellow of the Jay I. Kislak Collection\, Claire L
 avarreda\, for an online showcase and presentation moderated by Jay I. Kis
 lak Chair and Curator Daniel Arbino.\n\nLavarreda’s research investigate
 s Indigenous labor\, expertise\, and intellectual authority in the product
 ion of Catholic texts in New Spain from 1570 to 1810. Her forthcoming diss
 ertation uses a book history approach to show how Catholic works functione
 d as sites of blended epistemologies\, shaped not only by European clerics
  but also by the Indigenous artists\, scribes\, translators\, and printers
  who materially created\, revised\, and circulated them.\n\nDuring her res
 idency with the Kislak Collection\, Lavarreda focused on a chapter of her 
 dissertation that examines woodcuts and copperplate engravings in Marian t
 exts to trace Indigenous artistic contributions and visual influences. She
  will highlight two items from the Kislak Collection that were especially 
 valuable to her research: Francisco de Florencia’s “La Estrella De El 
 Norte de Mexico” (1688) and “La Milagrosa Invención de un Tesoro Esco
 ndido” (1683).\n\nFollowing the presentation\, there will be a Q&A with 
 the online audience.\n\n \n\nABOUT THE PRESENTER\n\nClaire Lavarreda is a
