In an attempt to move our discipline beyond Eurocentric perspectives, this conference explores connections that artworks express from within the American territories: from California to Aracuaní (North/South), from Acapulco to Río de Janiero (West/East), and from Potosí to Buenos Aires (High/Low). We propose the concept of “crossing” as the analytical framework, aiming to demonstrate not only intra-American hybridity, but also the distances, places of contact, and cultural translations present. The Americas were an artistic laboratory, where materials, techniques, and styles from distinct geographical coordinates combined and harmonized to create original solutions throughout the period of Iberian domination.
