Luisa Elena Alcalá’s work examines the history of religious images, painting, and the Jesuits in the Spanish American viceroyalties, especially New Spain. Her lecture is drawn from her ongoing, nationally funded research project “Agents: Jesuit Procurators and Alternative Channels for Artistic Circulation in the Hispanic World.”  (this event has been rescheduled from the original February date).
