Dance of the Maize God
Video of Febraury 1, 2015, Film Screening and Discussion
While thousands of Maya vases have flooded into public and private collections over the last 50 years, the race to obtain them has destroyed ancient temples. The documentary
Dance of the Maize God (2014, 96 min.) explores Maya life and mythology, as well as the issues involved in the collection and study of looted art. This event was related to the GRI's 2014/2015 Scholar Year theme, ObjectValueCanon, and was made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
