Congratulations to PhD Candidate in Spanish Colonial Art History, Mariel Espinoza-León, for her work as Chief Editor of the new issue, as well as UNM professor Ray Hernández-Durán, Ph.D., as the faculty advisor for “Hemisphere.”
“Hemisphere” is an annual publication produced by graduate students affiliated with the Department of Art at The University of New Mexico. The publication provides scholarship about all aspects and time periods of the visual and material cultures of North, Central, and South America, and related world contexts. Through the production of “Hemisphere,” students promote their education and professional interests as they gain first-hand experience in academic publishing. The sixteenth volume of “Hemisphere: Visual Cultures of the Americas” engages with a fascinating and multifaceted theme: the intersection of art and science, particularly within Ibero-American contexts. Often perceived as opposites, these disciplines have long shared a dynamic relationship that transcends traditional boundaries. Through the essays and features in this issue, the issue explores how the fields of art and science converge, diverge, and inform one another across a broad historical and cultural spectrum.
