Daniela Ortiz
from the horse they will fall and in the wilderness we will finally rest
Daniela Ortiz (b. 1985, Cusco, Peru) lives and works in Barcelona, Spain. Ortiz’s proposal revises the statue of Theodore Roosevelt outside the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. In Ortiz’s rendering, the white man is removed, the Black man and the Indigenous man wear t-shirts with slogans protesting structural racism, and the horse rests. Hand-painted tiles show four scenes of anti-colonial struggles in the US at the base.
