Abstract

As part of the celebrations of the IV Centenary of the discovery of America, Colombia participated in the ExposicioÌn HistoÌrico-Americana de Madrid in 1892, as well as the Chicago Worldâs Columbian Exposition in 1893. On both occasions, the focus was on pre-Hispanic objects. Through the glorification of an indigenous past, the organizers of the exhibitions sought to provide the country with an âantiquityâ of its own, comparable to the ancient civilizations of Peru and Mexico, and to project the image of a modern nation through the academic treatment of such vestiges of the past. However, in an environment marked by Hispanism and conservatism, this kind of âscientific Indianismâ did not imply the integration of indigenous cultures into the national narrative. During preparations for the Parisian Exposition Universelle in 1900, the government planned to represent the nation through a national pavilion adorned with huge pre-Columbian figures, thereby indicating a more inclusive nationalization of the indigenous past. However, this turn towards a new form of Indianism was hindered by war and financial crisis, and the organizers were forced to abandon their plan. It was not until 1929, after a long period of recovery, that the process of combining Hispanism with Indianism finally culminated in the construction of the national pavilion at the ExposicioÌn Ibero-Americana in Seville.
