Cara Romero’s photography explores environmental racism
Native American photographer Cara Romero uses her art to spark a conversation about environmental racism and its impact on Indigenous communities. Her latest solo exhibition, Panûpünüwügai (Living Light), currently on display at Dartmouth’s Hood Museum, includes over 60 powerful photographs addressing issues like land loss and the environmental exploitation of tribal lands. Romero’s work blends tradition with environmental development, aiming to open a dialogue about the connection between Indigenous cultures and the fight for environmental justice.
