About this event

Tupananchiskama: Ancient Andean Cosmovision explores the enduring worldviews of ancient Andean civilizations through nearly 100 exquisite pre-Columbian ceramic, textile, bone, and wood works. Some artifacts date back more than 2,500 years and were collected by former UBC Professor Alan R. Sawyer. The exhibition highlights Andean cosmovision—a holistic and spiritual understanding of the universe grounded in reciprocity and balance. Visitors are invited to reflect on the continuity, resilience, and renewal of these complex cultural traditions. The title comes from a Quechua word meaning 'until life brings us together again'.
