I offered these bead bombs to the streets of Tovaangar in a creative act of resistance and refusal - a joyful, even if brief, reprieve from the violence and terror that ICE and other federal agents have inflicted upon our communities. “This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear.” - Toni Morrison

This is a photograph taken by Kenneth Lopez of a beaded tapestry created by Muscogee Creek artist Kimberly Robertson in 2026 to protest the racist, unjust and inhumane detention of (both documented and undocumented) immigrants in the United States. The tapestry is peyote-stitched and contains roughly 10,000 pony beads. It was created over the months of January and February in 2026 and installed at the intersection of Cesar Chavez and Soto in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA on February 25, 2026.
