Mariella Mendoza Cárdenas is a multidisciplinary artist and media strategist with roots in the Andes and the Amazonian Rainforest. Mariella’s work explores how people and land interact with one another, and interrogates their own relationship to land as a care taker and as a queer immigrant.
Over the past ten years Mariella has worked alongside regional and national groups strategizing for environmental justice including The People’s Climate Movement, Another Gulf is Possible, and Giniw Collective; as well as migrant justice groups such as Mijente.
Mariella is one of the contributors of “Somewhere We Are Human” — ‘A unique collection of 41 groundbreaking essays, poems, and artwork by migrants, refugees and Dreamers—including award-winning writers, artists, and activists—that illuminate what it is like living undocumented today.’ -via HarperCollins.com
