Kayapo, Stop Deforestation addresses the urgent issue of Amazon rainforest destruction, focusing on the Kayapo Indigenous people's fight to protect their territory. recently acquired by the Library of Congress, this print employs Fuentes' signature social realist style, using stark contrasts and symbolic imagery to depict the Kayapo's resistance against illegal logging, mining, and ranching, which have devastated the Amazon. Fuentes’ work underscores the intersection of Indigenous rights and ecological survival, urging viewers to confront the ongoing crisis.
