How can an art form that originated in 17^th-century Europe be reinvented through a cinematic language to challenge familiar narratives and national identities in contemporary Latin America?

This presentation will review the ways in which Early Modern cartography and Spanish-American texts produced geographical knowledge, and how that knowledge influenced the way both colonizers and colonized peoples across the Americas imagined and related to their territory, its inhabitants, environment and resources.

Graduating seniors make culminating presentations that exhibit all the skills and material they have learned throughout their years of studying Spanish and Latin American Studies at Loyola University. 

Holocaust survivor and Anne Frank Center Board member Pieter Kohnstam will share his compelling story of fleeing Amsterdam for Buenos Aires in a Spanish language presentation over zoom with simultaneous translation into English on Jan. 27 at 5:30 p.m. The talk is designed to share this story of survival with the Latinx community and create a larger conversation regarding the lessons from the Holocaust for today.
