Come chat with artist Lewis deSoto about Conquest, now installed at the San Diego Automotive Museum. With his automotive-based sculpture Conquest (2004), artist Lewis deSoto examines the relationship between his Cahuilla background and his distant ancestor (conquistador Hernando de Soto) within the context of the automotive industry, which in its branding appropriates terms, imagery, and aesthetics related to the brutal conquest of the Americas. Conquest subtly interrogates the mythologies and identities of Southern California through the lens of midcentury capitalism.

It proposes that the metaphor of history is a set of divergent parallel universes in which to traverse and communicate with."
