Lecture Cosmological Visions:Huari Imperial Iconography SATURDAY, January 14, 2:30 pm The Huari Empire (circa AD 750-950) was a vast, long-standing culture that linked remote regions and peoples in what now constitutes Peru. In this lecture, Anita Cook, Associate Professor of Anthropology at the Catholic University of America, will focus on the human representations found in Huari textiles and ceramic painting and their transformation into cosmological beings. Referencing the tunics and mantle pieces in the exhibition Gods and Empire: Huari Ceremonial Textiles, along with ceramic painting, Ms. Cook will explore the imagery and how each medium possesses its own idiom, paying particular attention to imagery of processions that include sacrifice and blood letting, and how it represents the Huari belief in the regenerative quality of the human body and sustaining the larger community.
