The exhibition Golden Worlds: The Portable Universe of Indigenous Colombia explores the history of Indigenous Colombian art and culture. In this lecture, John W. Hoopes, who is on the forefront of archaeological and art-historical research into the peoples who produced the art on display, shares his deep knowledge of the region’s history. The discussion is introduced by Rex Koontz, consulting curator for art of the Indigenous Americas at the MFAH.
