Cartas Ejecutorias
Curated by Kelli Hansen and Mariana Guzman, 2024.
The documents on display in this exhibition were created for one purpose: to prove their owners’ nobility, or hidalguía. In Spain, when a person’s hidalgo status was in dispute, the legal remedy was to file a lawsuit in one of the Royal Chancery Courts, either in Valladolid or in Granada.

Masks, Hells, and Books: The Nuremberg Schembartlauf (1449-1539)
Curated by John Henry Adams, 2022.
The Schembartlauf (“the running of the masked men”) was a traditional element of Carnival in Nuremberg in Franconia. Celebrated on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, it consisted of a parade of men in masks and ornate costumes who came down from the castle into the city, culminating in a dramatic destruction of their parade float in the town square.
