#la virgen de guadalupe

LIVE

From a decolonization perspective, what is your opinion on this topic? I have seen several art prints with La Virgen wearing zapatista style face coverings, which is strange to me. I understand its pop culture importance in current Chicanx culture, but in terms of indigenous history, how and where does la virgen fit in? I want to know your opinion! I wrote an essay about “Guadalupanismo”, and read the book by Francisco De La Maza on the topic (I really recommend this book as well).
