EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a disturbing scene of Spanish cruelty towards the Incas during the colonial era. In this pen and ink drawing from Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala's "El primer nueva cronica y buen gobierno" we witness an elderly Incan woman being abused by a Spanish monk as she diligently weaves on an upright loom. The image portrays the harsh reality of conquest and colonialism, highlighting the brutality inflicted upon indigenous peoples in South America. The monk, dressed in his Catholic cassock, is shown using a club to strike the defenseless woman who is engaged in her craftswoman skills. The artist skillfully depicts not only physical violence but also conveys the psychological impact of such abuse. The woman's face reveals pain and anguish while her headband symbolizes her cultural identity that is under attack. This artwork serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed against native populations during this period of history. It prompts us to reflect on our past and strive for justice and equality today. Let it be a testament to those who suffered at the hands of colonization, urging us to learn from their experiences so that we may build a more compassionate world for all.
