About the speaker:
John Pohl is Adjunct Professor in Art History at UCLA and Lecturer in Anthropology at Cal State LA. He has received numerous fellowships and grants for his research on the Nahua, Mixtec, and Zapotec civilizations of southern Mexico and is now investigating the roles they played in a Pacific coastal exchange system that linked Oaxaca directly with West Mexico. In addition to his academic pursuits, Dr. Pohl has had a prolific career as a writer, designer and curator for major museums and exhibitions around the country including “Sorcerers of the Fifth Heaven: Art and Ritual in Ancient Southern Mexico” for Princeton University, “The Aztec Pantheon and the Art of Empire” for the Getty Villa Museum and “The Children of Plumed Serpent, the Legacy of Quetzalcoatl in Ancient Mexico” for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Dallas Museum of Art.
