Abstract
LIDDIARD CARDENAS, Adán Erubiel and HERNANDEZ OROZCO, Guillermo. Representations of the Rarámuri ethnic group at muralism in the city of Chihuahua. Nóesis, Rev. cienc. soc. [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.59, pp.64-79. Epub Jan 16, 2023. ISSN 2395-8669. https://doi.org/10.20983/noesis.2021.1.4.
Muralism in Chihuahua city, capital of the homonymous state in north of Mexico, exhibits a constant presence of Rarámuri community images, a regional native ethnic group. This article aims to expose the cataloging of the different visual representations found at this indigenous community, iconic in the region, and the reflection behind each of them. This is resulted from the previous analysis in a doctoral research for this object of study, working historiographic and iconographic methodology, and photographic rescue of the murals in fieldwork. The result is seven different and recognizable forms of representation at Rarámuri human images, past and present, concluding that, to achieve a close visualization of indigenous groups, it is necessary to take a look at all possible insights, even artistic.
