It’s very cool that the art I created of Indigenous movement leader Xiuhtezcatl is part of Amplifier’s augmented reality app! Through this app, you can point your phone to any of Amplifier’s AR activated artwork and watch Xiuhtezcatl come to life as he talks about the work ahead of the youth in their fight for climate action and climate justice. If you’ve got some time off during this Thanksgiving holiday, please take some time to educate yourself about Indigenous history and how we can better serve Indigenous land through climate action.
Special thanks to Amplifier and Bemo Studio for featuring my art and creating this app for this powerful project. Download the #AmplifierAR app here.
