What is the connection between pink frosting, a votive painting from the 1880s, and a cardboard replica of a pagoda-shaped sign from E Charleston Boulevard? To find out, join curator Dr. Emmanuel Ortega Rodríguez for an in-person tour through Contemporary Ex-votos: Devotion Beyond Medium, an exhibition that invites us to reevaluate the historically disregarded genre of the ex-voto. Dr. Ortega is the Marilynn Thoma Scholar in Art of the Spanish Americas in the School of Art and Art History at the University of Illinois at Chicago.This guided exhibition tour will take place at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art on Saturday, July 6, 2024, at 1 p.m. Participation is free and no registration is required. This will be a walking tour with minimal seating. Parking on the UNLV campus in staff and student spaces is free on weekends.
