This talk examines Mexican painter Miguel Cabrera’s 1750 posthumous portrait of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz as a painted vindication of Mexico’s “Tenth Muse.” Dr. Villaseñor Black then positions this colonial image in conversation with contemporary Chicana
portrayals, asking, “Can the tools of Chicanx studies decolonize art history?”
