The famous Temple Museum is hosting a clear example of several prehispanic pieces looking now reflect the Mesoamerican conception about all the men and women, and increased sexuality.
This museum is located in Mexico City and now as we see reflected a sample of prehispanic pieces looking to offer a number of issues.
Among them stands out above all the Mesoamerican conception around the man and the woman, and sexuality. Seeds exhibition is called life.
Among other things, visitors can glimpse parts of the collections of regional museums of Guadalajara, Colima and Michoacan, and the Museo Soumaya.
In all these objects the thought of Mesoamerican artists of this subject appreciated by clay figures and other materials such as stone.
The general director of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), Teresa Franco, wanted to offer a few words at the opening to talk about it.
He said that the cultures of Mesoamerica were mainly agricultural but yes lived in a world where the natural and the supernatural were part of one whole.
These are his statements: "Our ancestors shaped the human body in a usual manner, but full of deep symbolism."
And he then added about "sexuality is an important element in these visual representations, explained".
There have been other words, as the archaeologist Daniel Ruiz Cancino, curator of the exhibition, who stressed that duality is the starting point of the Mesoamerican worldview
This is what he said: "Man was linked with life, heat and light, while the woman was associated with death, cold and darkness."
Undoubtedly sign Templo Mayor Museum is most striking and not have to see the large number of reactions being generated in Mexico.
