Tarot Neocolonial De Las Américas
Five hundred years of history. Seventy-eight cards. One unflinching vision.
The Tarot Neocolonial de las Américas by Puerto Rican artist Patrick McGrath Muñiz is unlike any tarot deck you've encountered. Rooted in the tradition of Old Master and Spanish colonial painting, each card is a stunning visual narrative exploring the collision of the New and Old Worlds — the dawn of globalization, the weight of colonization, the endurance of indigenous culture, and the ongoing struggles of social and economic justice in Latin America.
McGrath Muñiz brings the same unflinching honesty he applies to his oil paintings on canvas and retablos directly into the tarot format, resulting in a deck that functions simultaneously as fine art, historical document, and spiritual tool. Card titles appear in four languages — Spanish, English, Portuguese, and French — reflecting the multilingual legacy of the Americas themselves.
