Book Launch: “Lluvias, nortes, nevadas” with Pablo Tut
Join the Visual Arts Center at Alienated Majesty Books to celebrate the release of "Lluvias, nortes, nevadas: Los milicianos yucatecos en las guerras del Golfo de México, 1835–1840" by historian José Ángel Koyoc Kú and artist Pablo Tut.
This book—written in both Spanish and English—traces the history of how Maya people were forced to fight for the centralized Mexican government during the Texas Revolution. Tut’s visual work in drawing, printmaking, and metalsmithing illustrate Koyoc’s new historical research. Together, they offer a memorial to the Maya people who were killed and buried in Texas, as well as those who continued on to fight U.S., European, and Mexican colonial powers. The project reaffirms the autonomy and political consciousness of Indigenous and Maya people across time and place.
This publication was made in conjunction with the exhibition "Pablo Tut: Land Invention," the 2024–25 St. Elmo Arts Residency exhibition on view at the Visual Arts Center between January 24 and March 10, 2025.
The launch will feature remarks and a brief reading by the artist Pablo Tut. Refreshments will be served.
