Members of Bolivia's disabilities movement gather to march in Cochabamba's Plaza 14 de Septiembre in April 2011. Many of the signs describe the tools, such as motorized wheelchairs and crutches, each use to manage their disabilities. The sign in the right center reads "Aceptame tal como soy" ("Accept me as I am.") In the following years the movement would lead a cross-country march, dramatic direct action protests, and a combative entrance to La Paz's Plaza Murillo in a campaign for increased public pensions for people with disabilities.

Weaving depicting a variety of forms of environmental destruction, crafted in a traditional northern La Paz department style. Waste dump trucks share the canvas with reed boats of Lake Titicaca. Exhibited at the World People's Summit on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth, in Tiquipaya, April 2010. #pollution #contaminacionambiental #LaPaz #mining #ClimateChange #CMPCC #Tiquipaya #lacallesoberana #sovereignstreet #madretierra #motherearth #abyayala
