Arts-Dance-Theater
The Aztec and Maya revival style refers to a resurgence of Pre-Columbian motifs and patterns in Mexico's modern arts. In the late 19th century, Mexico began to embrace its Pre-Columbian past and indigenous roots. Mexico developed a new style of art by appropriating the iconography of many of its Pre-Columbian ancestral groups, including but not limited to the Aztec and Maya cultures.
The Aztec and Maya Revival exhibition illustrates this fusion of Pre-Columbian visual patterns with modern Mexican material culture. As part of the exhibition, the Aztec Mummy Collection (1957-1958), a trilogy of vintage Mexican horror films, is showing in the Back Gallery.

Curator's Tour of "The Mystique of the Archive"
Books/literary
The Harry Ransom Center Associate Director of Exhibition and Education Cathy Henderson leads a free curator’s tour of "The Mystique of the Archive" on Thursday, September 11, at 7 p.m.
This exhibition explores the promise of mystery, adventure, and discovery embodied in the aura of archives. Drawing from the Harry Ransom Center’s extensive modern literature collections—Julian Barnes, Don DeLillo, Anne Sexton, and many others—the exhibition describes what constitutes an archive, documents the evolution of creative works from first draft to first edition, and maps an archive’s journey from the writer’s home to the scholar’s desk, revealing acquisition intrigues, preservation challenges, and cataloging puzzles along the way.
Mark your calendar for a curator’s tour of the other current exhibition, "A Cabinet of Drawings," on Wednesday, September 24, at 7 p.m.
If you can’t attend the curator’s tour, free docent-led tours of the exhibitions are offered Tuesdays at noon and Saturdays at 2 p.m.

Arts-Dance-Theater
The Aztec and Maya revival style refers to a resurgence of Pre-Columbian motifs and patterns in Mexico's modern arts. In the late 19th century, Mexico began to embrace its Pre-Columbian past and indigenous roots. Mexico developed a new style of art by appropriating the iconography of many of its Pre-Columbian ancestral groups, including but not limited to the Aztec and Maya cultures.
The Aztec and Maya Revival exhibition illustrates this fusion of Pre-Columbian visual patterns with modern Mexican material culture. As part of the exhibition, the Aztec Mummy Collection (1957-1958), a trilogy of vintage Mexican horror films, is showing in the Back Gallery.
