After about a month of work, my mural team and I have been wrapping up the details of this piece and would like to cordially invite our community to our mural celebration and Panel on November 3, 2024! This mural has definitely created a lot of growth and brought in a lot of interest. This is The People’s Statement for Life, in a nuclear reality.

The entirety of the piece is about rematriation, the return to the connection with our original mother, Mother Earth and the wisdom she provides that has been overshadowed by almost a century of nuclear colonialism’s devasting impact on the land and bodies of the original peoples of New Mexico and all inhabitants. Here the mother(s), are both archetypal and embodied beings, encompassing the cycles of life, including traditional agriculture that is the core of Pueblo culture that has been compromised due to the contamination of local lands and waterways by Los Alamos National Laboratories.  

Come celebrate with us!

Also! This weekend won’t be my only showing. I was approached by and IAIA Student who is graduating this Winter.
