Associations between the treatment of land and women’s bodies inspired Priscilla Dobler-Dzul’s embroidery Las Américas, nuestro cuerpo, nuestra tierra y nuestra historia. The work comments upon how the privatization of indigenous land, public sectors, and medical sectors all contribute to the exploitation of natural resources and increased inequality, particularly for women of color. In the words of the artist, “Las Américas is based around our mythologies, our bodies and stories. Stop erasing our bodies and redlining our lands.”
