Event Details

The Story of a Painting: José Gil de Castro’s Carlota Caspe y Rodríguez

A story of complex social relationships underlies an exceptional painting in the TMA collection, José Gil de Castro’s portrait of Carlota Caspe y Rodríguez. Created by an Afro-Latino artist born to an enslaved African mother, Gil de Castro became one of South America’s most prominent portraitists at the dawn of Independence, creating images of political elites across the continent from Argentina to Venezuela.

This exhibition uncovers the layered meanings in this single work, examining how the sitter’s identity was constructed with costume and domestic objects; revealing how portraitist Gil de Castro asserted his identity as an artist; exploring what we learn from the painting’s materiality; and considering the work’s collection history. Bringing these lines of inquiry together, we appreciate the nuanced story behind this key work in the museum’s permanent collection.

Wondering about the Junior Ranger program at Kartchner Caverns?

Come out and get a well-rounded experience on what it means to be a junior ranger. Each  Junior Ranger will build their confidence by participating in the “Where did I come from?” program. This is where each participant finds something in nature that piques their interest and builds a story around that item. This will help with practicing public speaking, creative storytelling, and building a connection between nature and the youth of today.  At the end of the program, there will be a group swear in and each participant will receive a junior ranger button. Meet at the group ramada.

The Story of a Painting: José Gil de Castro’s Carlota Caspe y Rodríguez

A story of complex social relationships underlies an exceptional painting in the TMA collection, José Gil de Castro’s portrait of Carlota Caspe y Rodríguez. Created by an Afro-Latino artist born to an enslaved African mother, Gil de Castro became one of South America’s most prominent portraitists at the dawn of Independence, creating images of political elites across the continent from Argentina to Venezuela.

This exhibition uncovers the layered meanings in this single work, examining how the sitter’s identity was constructed with costume and domestic objects; revealing how portraitist Gil de Castro asserted his identity as an artist; exploring what we learn from the painting’s materiality; and considering the work’s collection history. Bringing these lines of inquiry together, we appreciate the nuanced story behind this key work in the museum’s permanent collection.

Every third Saturday of the month Maegan Lopez and Sterling Johnson continue this new Mission Garden tradition of talks and demonstrations about O’odham Agriculture. They talk about traditions associated with Native American crops like corn, beans and squash, and how crops brought by Europeans were integrated into O’odham agriculture.
