The building is fabled to have been the home of the famous by Fernando Tapia Rodríguez Conquistador Hernan Cortés in Oaxaca, although history shows the building was constructed too late for this to be true. Regardless, the museum now housed here features modern artists from Oaxaca and all around Mexico. Exhibitions include ceramics, sculpture, photography, paintings and more. There are also various temporary exhibitions. +52 951 514 1055 [email protected] 202 Macedonio Alcalá, Oaxaca City by Urban Girl Oaxacan Painter Museum "From Cabrera to Morales" Housed in a 17th-century building which has gone through many incarnations, the Museo de los Pintores Oaxaqueños exhibits works from, you guessed it, Oaxacan painters. Works range from 18th -entury paintings by Miguel Cabrera to works by beloved painter Rodolfo Morales. The revolving exhibitions feature all kinds of paintings, from realism to religious works, to erotic, indigenous and abstract.

Unique from other archaeology museums, the Museo Rufino Tamayo organizes the works by their aesthetic qualities instead of its chronology in order to appreciate the artisanship. Tamayo himself designed the museum, and it is definitely worth a visit. Guided tours of the museum are offered on Wednesdays. +52 951 516 4750 503 Morelos, Oaxaca City Museo Casa de Juárez "Benito Juárez's CIty Home" The Casa de Juárez is a restored home that belonged to bookmaker Father Antonio Salanueva, Benito Juárez's childhood benefactor. It was here that Juárez lived during his youth in Oaxaca City, and where Salanueva helped Juárez get an education and become a lawyer. Aside from being the former home of one of Mexico's most beloved presidents, by Christopher William Adach the Casa de Juárez is a good example of what life may have been like for the middle classes and their employees in Oaxaca at this time. +52 951 516 1860 609 García Vigil, Oaxaca City Monte Alban "Zapotec Legacy" Wedged between stark elemental features – blue skies and an ochre, parched terra – Monte Albán sits on a flattened promontory, exemplifying nearly 1500 years of pre-Columbian civilization. Monte Albán rises 400 meters (1300 feet) above the valley floor of Oaxaca, and a wave of history, dominated by the cultures of Olmecs, Zapotecs and Mixtecs sweeps by User: (WT-shared) through its pyramidal structures. Shrines, palaces, terraced platforms, Anyludes atwts wikivoyage tombs and mounds are scattered across this significant archaeological site, each pointing to Monte Albán's central role in Mesoamerican civilization. At the core of this complex is the Main Plaza, a monumental structure that is dominated by a series of stairs that amble up its southern platform, while small temples, residences and ballcourts are strewn across its surroundings. Several stone structures indicate that morbid sacrificial activities and ceremonies were conducted here. One of the earliest examples of these structures are the Danzantes, a set of figures that harken to the Olmec culture. A few important stone etchings and carvings found on the site have been encased within an on-site museum. Carretera Oaxaca-Monte Albán, 8 kilometers west of Oaxaca City, Oaxaca Museo Estatal de Arte Popular de Oaxaca "Oaxacan Arts, Traditional & Contemporary" This beautiful and surprisingly modern museum is located in the village of San Bartolo Coyotepec, just 15 kilometers south of Oaxaca City. Not surprisingly, a large portion of the museum is focused on the village's main craft and claim to fame, the barro negro, or black pottery. This is no by Letiha one note museum, however; the museum also features other traditional crafts from around Oaxaca City and the Valles Centrales. In addition to traditional arts & crafts, the museum also features an impressive collection of more contemporary crafts and artwork from Oaxacan artists. +52 951 551 0036 www.oaxaca.gob.mx/inde [email protected] Calle Independencia s/n, San x.php?option=com_content x Bartolo Coyotepec &view=article&id=75:muse o-estatal-de-arte-popular-o axaca&catid=31:museos&ItUNIRSI A NOI A : emid=38 cityseeker.com Termini e condizioni | INFORMATIVA SULLA PRIVACY | API | CONTATTATECI | Diritto d'autore 2021 CITYSEEKER Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Ocotlán De Morelos Page 1 of 17
    Oaxaca - Ocotlán de Morelos Page 1 of 17 Enciclopedia de los Municipios de México ESTADO DE OAXACA OCOTLÁN DE MORELOS NOMENCLATURA Denominación Ocotlán de Morelos. Toponimia Ocotlán significa: “Junto a, o entre los Ocotes”; se forma con las voces Ocotl, “ocote o pino” y Tlan, “lugar“. Lleva el nombre de Morelos en honor a don José Ma. Morelos y Pavón. Para los antiguos pobladores Ocotlán tenía un solo significado que daban las siguientes voces “el lugar de ocotes” y “junto o entre los ocotes”. El significado proviene de las voces ocotl: ocote (pino), árbol de la tea y tlan: lugar de junta “de” o “entre de”. En un inicio tuvo el nombre de “Santo Domingo Ocotlán” debido a la llegada de los frailes dominicos a la región (esto fue en la víspera de la celebración del santo en el año de 1555), motivo por el cual se le nombró santo patrón a Santo Domingo de Guzmán. Posteriormente durante la época de la Independencia, las fuerzas armadas del caudillo, Generalísimo don José María Morelos y Pavón en su viaje hacia Acapulco, acamparon en el jardín de la población de Ocotlán durante 3 días. En memoria de este caudillo, los habitantes nombraron a la población “Ocotlán de Morelos”. Existen otras versiones sobre su significado en lengua zapoteca en la cual se conocía al poblado como “Lachiroo”, que significa: “Valle Grande”; los zapotecas de Tlacolula le llamaban Guelache, que quiere decir: “Plaza del Valle”. HISTORIA Reseña Histórica El origen de los primeros pobladores de Ocotlán no está aún definido, se cree que un núcleo familiar establecido en las faldas del cerro o loma llamada “Tortolita” ubicada a 2 kilómetros de distancia del actual Ocotlán.

  • Grafficity Visual Practices and Contestations in Urban Space
    EVA YOUKHANA AND LARISSA FÖRSTER (EDS.) GRAFFICITY Visual Practices and Contestations in Urban Space MORPHOMATA Graffiti has its roots in urban youth and protest cul- tures. However, in the past decades it has become an established visual art form. This volume investigates how graffiti oscillates between genuine subversiveness and a more recent commercialization and appropria- tion by the (art) market. At the same time it looks at how graffiti and street art are increasingly used as an instrument for collective re-appropriation of the urban space and so for the articulation of different forms of belonging, ethnicity, and citizenship. The focus is set on the role of graffiti in metropolitan contexts in the Spanish-speaking world but also includes glimpses of historical inscriptions in ancient Rome and Meso- america, as well as the graffiti movement in New York in the 1970s and in Egypt during the Arab Spring.
