About

Bolas de Fuego: Culture and Conflict in Central America draws from the Hood Museum’s limited collections to tell stories of communities from the following countries: Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Panama. Focused on the conflict-laden twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the installation examines turning points in the region’s political and social history, while attending to the themes of race, ethnicity, and migration.

This exhibition was curated in conjunction with LACS 8: Politics and Culture in Transnational Central America and LACS 50.17: Land, Belonging and Social Change in Latin America.
