Indigenous authors in pre-contact and early colonial Mexico created pictorial manuscripts that record Native knowledge in image and word. Collectively\, these documents constitute an incomparable Indigenous archive. They entered private and institutional collections on both sides of the Atlantic\, provoking a great deal of interest. However\, their reception in early modern Europe almost without exception reached interpretive dead ends. Poised at the intersection of Indigenous studies\, the history of books and libraries\, and the history of knowledge production\, this talk discusses the trajectories of several Mexican manuscripts to address questions of materiality\, mobility\, and the possibilities and limits of translation and interpretation. It follows Indigenous manuscripts in movement and stasis\, as knowledge inscriptions and as potential sources for knowledge production\, to consider the flow and friction of Mesoamerican Indigenous objects and practices in the early modern world. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Daniela Bleichmar \n\n\n\nProfessor of Art History and History; Founding Director\, Levan Institute for the Humanities; Director\, USC Society of Fellows in the Humanities; University of Southern California \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: \n\n\n\nDaniela Bleichmar is Professor of Art History and History at the University of Southern California. Her research and teaching address the history of images\, objects\, and texts in colonial Latin America and early modern Europe\, focusing on the histories of visual and material culture; science and knowledge production; circulation\, encounters\, and exchanges; collections; and books.

In relation to these personal provenances amidst AIDS-related loss\, my research develops an analytic I term “the art history of the storage unit.” I want to consider together the stakes of why and how these artworks by African American artists have been stewarded and cared for in personal and familial collections\, outside the purview of museums and other archival institutions that due to erasure and white supremacy have often overlooked these objects. \n\n\n\nBio:  \n\n\n\nAlex Fialho is a PhD candidate in Yale University’s Combined PhD program in the History of Art and African American Studies. As an art historian and curator\, Fialho focuses on modern and contemporary art\, Black queer and feminist thought\, and AIDS cultural studies. His dissertation “Apertures Onto AIDS: African American Photography and the Art History of the Storage Unit” animates AIDS-related histories through the lens of artists Lola Flash\, Darrel Ellis\, Lyle Ashton Harris\, and Kia LaBeija. He was a 2023–2024 Helena Rubinstein Critical Studies Fellow in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program. Based in Los Angeles\, Fialho is a 2024–2025 Predoctoral Fellow at the Getty Research Institute and the 2025–2026 Luce/ACSL Ellen Holtzman Dissertation Fellow in American Art. \n\n\n\n*Fialho worked as Programs Director of the New York-based arts non-profit Visual AIDS from 2014–2019\, facilitating projects around the history and immediacy of the ongoing AIDS pandemic\, while intervening against the widespread whitewashing of HIV/AIDS cultural narratives. As an Oral Historian for the Smithsonian Archives of American Art’s Visual Arts and the AIDS Epidemic: An Oral History Project\, he conducted in-depth oral histories with fifteen cultural producers including Ron Athey\, Douglas Crimp\, Nan Goldin\, Lyle Ashton Harris\, and Julie Tolentino.

Combining critical concepts of whiteness with qualitative methods\, the CEW methodological framework informs critical research design and sensitizes researchers to identify and examine whiteness throughout the data collection and data analysis process\, even when participants are unaware of whiteness or its manifestations within their organization. Dr. Southern welcomes feedback\, questions\, and reflections on the clarity and use of the methodological framework. \n\n\n\nDr. Deborah E. Southern (she/her) is a University of California Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow with the Department of Education and Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies. As a higher education scholar and qualitative researcher\, Dr. Southern examines organizations and change\, and how organizational transformation is possibly facilitated or restrained by mechanisms\, culture\, and leaders. One important contribution of Dr. Southern’s research examines how power like whiteness in institutions via areas like organizational structures\, practices\, and leaders’ comfort works to obstruct transformative change. \n\n\n\nRefreshments will be served.
