This thesis compares three state-organized exhibitions-the Exhibition of Popular Arts at the Centennial Celebration of 1921 in Mexico City, The Museum of Modern Art's 1940 Twenty Centuries of Mexican Art in New York, and the opening exhibitions at Mexico City's National Museum of Anthropology in 1964 as a means to analyze the Mexican government's use of art and design to illustrate their ideology of indigenismo in the name of nation building. These three government-supported exhibitions presented indigenous artisan crafts to Mexican and international audiences to bolster a narrative that indigenismo represented a unique form of Mexican art and culture based on an indigenous heritage inherited from a pre-Hispanic past. Through the construction of indigenismo, the Mexican government distanced itself from its colonial history and, by focusing on an idealized pre-Hispanic past, presented it as deserving of the same esteem given to ancient Greece or Rome. In order to be viewed as objects symbolic of indigenismo, the crafts fell in line with constructions of indigenous identity set out by Mexican officials and intelligentsia in the 1920s, which based indigeneity on language skills, social and economic standings, and physical features. Rather than supporting indigenous cultural heritage, identity, and autonomy, indigenismo served the Mexican government's advancement of a national identity rooted in history along with its proposed solution to the "Indian Problem," that positioned contemporary indigenous life as contrary to modern Mexican society.
