More about the book

Focusing on the cult of María Lionza, this book delves into the significance of images and visual culture in Venezuelan religious practices. Through extensive fieldwork, it illustrates how the goddess is represented in various forms—Indian, white, or mestizo—and how these representations transition between objects, bodies, dreams, and artistic expressions. By adopting a relational approach, it offers a compelling analysis of visual creativity's influence on contemporary religious practices, revealing the dynamic interplay between art and spirituality.
