"Working on EPMA’s Latin American Retablo collection was a mesmerizing experience, I truly enjoyed working with the camera equipment and handling the retablos firsthand in art storage. The experience and work felt enriching as I got to learn more about this type of art’s beautiful journey with the material types as well as the many regions where retablos were once and continue to be produced. I got to learn more about symbols and the religious significance such details reveal about those saints and our lady depicted. This project also reminded me of my own family, our Hispanic and Latino culture. I see many of these saints depicted when I visit my grandma in Juarez every Sunday, when we head to church and even at her home." - Mariana Gutierrez, Intern at MCAD
