Colorful Wood and Ceramic Retablo Celebrating Equality, "Equality"

Artisan Erika Ulloa of Peru designs a wood and ceramic retablo expressing one of the most important themes of our day, equality. The interior of the retablo is filled with handcrafted ceramic people, arms outstretched, imploring the world to treat each one with the dignity of being considered equal. The ceramic people are of all genders and varying styles of dress to represent the diversity of humanity, and two of the people in the crowd have rainbow-striped faces. The crowd stands behind a rainbow banner with #Igualdad--Spanish for "equality"--painted in black. The retablo cabinet is made of MDF wood painted with colorful flowers and ornate vines.
