¿QUÉ ES EL ARTE #TEQUITQUI ? EL ESPLENDOR DEL ARTE PREHISPÁNICO ANTE UNA NUEVA INFLUENCIA.

The Tequitqui art created by the indigenous people after the Spanish conquest in the 16th century presupposes, from its inception, a confrontation between two cultures, two ways of thinking with profound differences. If we consider the world's cultural development, its cosmology and worldview, pre-Hispanic thought may have been closer to Eastern than to Western thought. Even considering the large number of indigenous people who died in the war of conquest, a generation of subjugated indigenous people survived, experiencing the change, the destruction of their world, and the beginning of a new one. It is understandable that the result of their artistic expressions was part of a great syncretism between both cultures. See the Bibliography: BIBLIOGRAPHY ALPEROVICH, M.
