This image captures a vibrant and evocative call to action for environmental preservation, merging visual artistry with a message of ecological responsibility. Representing the Environmental Network for Nicaragua, it weaves together symbols of the country’s diverse natural beauty, showcasing jaguars, turtles, and a verdant landscape teeming with life. Layers of text underscore the interconnectedness of social and ecological revolutions, advocating for a collective commitment to safeguarding lakes, rivers, trees, and animals. The bold use of colour reflects the energy of the movement, offering a celebration of resilience and stewardship.
The piece emerges from a period of heightened environmental and cultural consciousness in Nicaragua, during the latter half of the 20th century and beyond, when efforts to intertwine ecological concerns with social progress gained significant momentum. Centred on the idea that human and environmental health are inseparable, it speaks to a broader legacy of advocacy in Central America, where art has long served as a vehicle for resistance, empowerment, and awareness.
