Lunar New Year, Mata Ruda, and Nanook “Anos De Soledad”
A woman stares into a compact mirror, and the Amazon stares back. A portrait of activist and Native Ecuadorian Nina Gualinga by artists Lunar New Year, Mata Ruda, and Nanook stands at 721 Broadway. Gualinga has dedicated her life to protecting the environment and indigenous rights of the Kichwa people in the Amazon. Aspects of her home country, from the livestock, people, and forestry, depict the land she is so desperate to protect.
