Blanka Amezkua: Power Flower: Curative Flora draws from the 1552 Codex de la Cruz-Badiano, a Nahua medicinal manuscript of plants and remedies. Inspired by her childhood visits to curanderos, Amezkua reinterprets the Codex through paintings, textiles, papel picado, and more. Layered plant outlines, vivid palettes, and ornate frames evoke harmony between body and environment, honoring Indigenous knowledge and its healing legacy.
