The Council on Latin American and Iberian Studies presents
A Senior Showcase by Ivana Ñique.
“Shaping A Nation: Plasticity Across 20th Century Politics of Peru.”
This senior project in Latin American Studies explores how Peru’s national identity was molded over the 20th century, focusing on Juan Velasco Alvarado’s cultural policies to reshape the state’s image domestically and abroad. The showcase examines pre-Columbian ceramic forms as one example of state authority transforming Indigenous cultures into symbols of national pride, inviting reflection on identity, tradition, and state power.
Exhibit will be on display in the Luce Hall Common Room (34 Hillhouse Ave, 2nd floor) the week of April 13-17. Opening reception on Wednesday, April 15 at 4:00 PM.
