When Aztlan was named “the white-colored country and dawn” every element of the life of our ancestors acquired a new tonality to describe its value.
The relationship between colors and nature assigned the character of men, their actions and their language. Suddenly the temples carved from stone were dyed red, yellow, green or blue to honor the gods.
The Codices portrayed history with ink and the warriors flew into battle with masks that illustrated their fierceness.
We’re excited to show you this WIP of the recovery of color for the vestiges of Mesoamerican culture.
Currently, the temples and sculptures are shown without tones, so the Mictlan team gathered the smallest details to honor what was essential for the lives of our ancestors, because life is always better with color.
