Join us for a special conversation with Dr. Noemí Espinosa about traditional jewelry featured in Joaquín Sorolla’s mural series Vision of Spain (1911-1919). As part of the program, attendees are invited to bring in their own jewelry and share stories of their own experience with these fascinating objects.

This talk forms part of a series of lectures presented alongside the Hispanic Society’s kiosk exhibition A Living Vision: The Sorolla Gallery at 100, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the installation of Sorolla’s masterpiece at the Hispanic Society. Stay tuned for more information about programs relating to this exhibition, including the final curator talk, which will take place in March 2027 on the subject of Ruth Matilda Anderson’s documentary photographs of Spain.

About Dr. Noemí Espinosa

Dr. Noemí Espinosa is Associate Curator at the Hispanic Society Museum & Library. She officially joined the institution’s Department of Prints and Photographs in 2007, where she cataloged and studied the core of the collection, an exceptional legacy of geographical, and anthropological value from Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. She has also researched extensively the history and art of The Philippines from the 19th and 20th centuries.

As an art historian and ethnographer, Dr. Espinosa is interested in the history of familiar things, the ones we might take for granted, and sometimes don’t notice. Her recent research focus is in the collection of Decorative Arts and Textiles, shifting from a visual to a material culture that more closely represents the development and changes of a society, its traditions, taste, popular beliefs, and daily life.
