ARCO MINERO DEL ORINOCO

INDIGENOUS PEOPLE ARE BURNING IN THE AMAZON TOO (2/3)

The AMO inspired the piece “Arco Minero del Orinoco,” in which the subject solemnly stares at the viewer while another Indigenous boy works in the mines. An estimated 45-percent of AMO miners are underage Indigenous children who are extorted into destroying their own land.
