Nicholas Galanin (aka @ya.tseen) brings LAND to Brooklyn Bridge Park.
The title, In every language there is Land / En cada lengua hay una Tierra, combines English and Spanish, two languages imposed in North America since colonization. The work reminds us that Indigenous peoples persist and permeate borders despite the forcible removal of rights, languages, and access to Land and Water. For Galanin, “barriers to Land directly reflect barriers to love, love for Land, for community and for future generations.”
Find more info @publicartfund and go see it now if you’re in NYC.
