Pulque is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of the maguey plant. It is traditional to central Mexico, where it has been produced for millennia. Pulque was only drank in Pre -Hispanic times by nobles and elderly as well those who would be sacrificed. I am interested in the revival of this drink and its relation to the community and social traditions as well as the visual symbols that are contained in contemporary and pre-Hispanic culture. A Pulqueria (where pulque is drunk) is also linked to popular art forms such as murals, made specifically for these places. These artistic representations contain symbolism and imagery of popular culture. The mix of pre-Columbian and contemporary identity are a constant in my research interest.
