Latin American and Latinx art resources

I've spent much of my career as an art historian trying to find ways to amplify the incredible art and histories in different parts of Latin America, from the prehistoric period to today. While I have other areas of expertise, I continue to find ways to create content to help more people engage with the arts of the Americas, especially Latin American and Latinx art. 

Here, you can find some resources to dive into Latin American and Latinx art in more detail!
