Referencing the tunics and mantle pieces in the exhibition Gods and Empire: Huari Ceremonial Textiles, along with ceramic painting, Ms. Cook will explore the imagery and how each medium possesses its own idiom, paying particular attention to imagery of processions that include sacrifice and blood letting, and how it represents the Huari belief in the regenerative quality of the human body and sustaining the larger community.
