Forbidden Love in the Andes
2019
Overview
The coauthored indigenous tale about two lovers--an Inca ñusta (princess), Chuquillanto, and a humble shepherd, Acoytapra--was recorded around the turn of the seventeenth century in colonial Peru. The story's meaning is layered, having been written and illustrated by two people of vastly different backgrounds: the drawings by a native Andean man and the writing by a Spanish friar. Although the images complement the text by illuminating events in the written tale, the artist applies his knowledge of the native Andean belief system and Inca visual culture by inserting additional meanings into the illustrations and communicating visually what the Spanish author cannot. A summary of the tale Ficción y suçesso de un famosso pastor llamado el gran Acoytapra con la hermossa y discreta Chuquillanto, ñusta, hija del sol is presented.
