SUMMARY:Lecture: Modeling Mesoamerican Masks
DESCRIPTION:Discover how a 3D modeling project at San Diego State University is bringing a historic collection of Mesoamerican masks into the digital age. This in-person lecture will explore how these digital models are enhancing teaching and public interpretation while tracing the deep history of masks as ritual\, funerary\, and ceremonial objects in ancient societies like Teotihuacan. The presentation will also examine how these traditions endure today in community practices such as danzas\, offering a look at the ongoing cultural significance of masks across centuries of change. \nCost: Pay what you wish \nRegistration is closed. Please pay at door. \n\nAbout the Presenters: \nKeith Chan is a local anthropology instructor at Grossmont College\, MiraCosta College\, and SDSU. He is especially interested in using immersive technology in his teaching to bring students face-to-face with culture and biology. He created the virtual anthropology museum AnVRopomotron\, which won the first Poly Award for Best Educational Experience\, and is working on PaleoCalifornia\, which turns the Pleistocene into a virtual reality theme park ride. He was also a recent research fellow at SDSU’s Virtual Immersive Learning and Teaching center\, in which he launched the current project on masks. \nIrene Gonzalez received her M.A. in Latin American Studies from SDSU\, where her research focused on cultural preservation. Her work has explored the importance of community museums\, specifically in Mexico\, where she conducted field research in Oaxaca. She is currently the Collections Coordinator for the Mesoamerican Mask Collection at SDSU’s Center for Latin American Studies. Irene is passionate about bridging technology and cultural heritage in ways that are equitable and grounded in deep respect for Indigenous knowledge systems. \n
