Iván Navarro
SOLO SHOW – THIS IS YOUR LAND 

Iván Navarro - This is your land 
Sculpture and Architecture Park, New York 
Starting June 25, 2022

Here, Navarro invokes the iconic form of water towers, closely associated with the skyline of New York City, a city where immigrants from around the world gather in search of a better life. Guthrie’s 1940 song criticized the privatization of resources in the United States that he believed all should have access to, including water. Notably absent from Guthrie’s song is reference to Indigenous Nations’ right to this land and critical role in protecting clean water. Ultimately, Navarro’s installation raises questions about how nations linked by colonial histories might reshape their futures.
