Orilla Negra

BY LIZETH LOZANO PALOMINO

On January 15, 2022, Peru experienced its worst ecological disaster in recent history. More than 11,900 barrels of oil were spilled. The spillage left fishermen without marine fauna, merchants without bathers, and carriers without passengers. Lizeth Lozano Palomino’s multimedia piece ‘Orilla Negra’ brings awareness to the continued high level of toxicity that resulted from the oil spill.
