Happy Earth Day! 🌍 Help Women Help the Earth is a piece created by Bow Seat student artist Taina Cunion (USA) 
Tiana writes “the battle against climate change starts with the empowerment of historically marginalized groups because the consequences of suppression harm the health of the planet. I illustrate a bouquet of flowers surrounding the earth and within them symbols of women’s rights - there are family planning tools such as condoms, IUDs and the pill. There’s education represented by the diploma, book and pencil. The ballot card,flag and peace sign represent political power in order to address both women’s rights and  environmental protection. My piece is centered around the idea that we should look at the climate crisis as more than just traditional ideas to fight it. While we recycle and strive to eat less meat we should look at the cultural norms that  not only harm women but also harm the earth.”
