The current practice of the cult of Maria Lionza is one of the most
important and yet unexplored religious practices in Venezuela.
Based on long-term fieldwork, this book explores the role of images
and visual culture within the cult. By adopting a relational
approach, A Goddess in Motion shows how the innumerable images of
this goddess-represented as an Indian, white or mestizo woman-move
constantly from objects to bodies, from bodies to dreams, and from
the religion domain to the art world. In short, this book is a
fascinating study that sheds light on the role of visual creativity
in contemporary religious manifestations.
