About this event

Tupananchiskama: Ancient Andean Cosmovision explores the enduring worldviews of ancient Andean civilizations through nearly 100 pre-Columbian ceramic, textile, bone, and wood works. These pieces, some dating back more than 2,500 years, were collected by former UBC Professor Alan R. Sawyer. The exhibition highlights the Andean 'cosmovision'—a spiritual understanding of the universe centered on reciprocity, balance, and nature as a living being. The title translates from Quechua as 'until life brings us together again,' reflecting a belief in the cycle of life and death. Guests can explore these cultural treasures at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC.
