Join us for an intimate conversation with Dr. Noemí Espinosa about the regional costumes featured in Joaquín Sorolla’s mural series Vision of Spain.

Dr. Noemí Espinosa is Associate Curator at the Hispanic Society Museum & Library. She officially joined the institution’s Department of Prints and Photographs in 2007, where she cataloged and studied the core of the collection, an exceptional legacy of geographical, and anthropological value from Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. She has also researched extensively the history and art of The Philippines from the 19th and 20th centuries.

As an art historian and ethnographer, Dr. Espinosa is interested in the history of familiar things, the ones we might take for granted, and sometimes don’t notice. Her recent research focus is in the collection of Decorative Arts and Textiles, shifting from a visual to a material culture that more closely represents the development and changes of a society, its traditions, taste, popular beliefs, and daily life.
