The journal aims to approach ancient, colonial, modern and contemporary Latin American and Latinx visual culture from a range of interdisciplinary methodologies and perspectives.
 

The journal considers papers on all aspects of Latin American and Latinx culture expressed through and relating to visual expression including, but not limited to, art history, material culture, architecture, film and media, museum studies, pop culture, fashion, public art and activism.
