Original artwork description:

“The forest is our mother. The forest is our life and our strength. Women protect the healthy soil and fresh air to protect our children and all life. Now is the time to hear the voices of women to protect the Amazon.”
Cristina Gualinga, Kichwa grandmother from Sarayaku

In the Amazon, indigenous women are united and organized in defense of the lives, rights and territories of their peoples. They are the ones who are in the first line of defense and response to climate emergencies...
This is why this artwork celebrates women from the amazon as life-givers, wisdom keepers, and leaders while denouncing violence against women and Mother Earth.
