Monumento a la Raza (Neiva)
- ... that the Monumento a la Raza in Neiva, which was toppled under the pretext of decolonization, depicted the conquistadors' cynicism during the Americas' colonization according to its author?
- Source: "La escultura hacía una crítica al cinismo de colonizadores [...] es una crítica escueta y limpia, clara al cinismo hispano frente a la colonización y a los colonizados". ("The sculpture was a criticism of the cynicism of the colonizers [...] it is a concise, clean and clear criticism of Hispanic cynicism towards colonization and the colonized".) Rojas on Facebook.
- Source on toppling under decolonization reasons: Infobae: "Es tumbado el monumento 'Homenaje a la Raza y al Mestizaje', como reivindicación feminista y decolonial, al destrozar la figura de un Conquistador Español que señalaba 'la tierra prometida', significado de la apología a la violación y al exterminio de mujeres indígenas" ("It is knocked down the monument 'Homenaje a la Raza y al Mestizaje', as a feminist and decolonial claim, by destroying the figure of a Spanish Conqueror who pointed to 'the promised land', meaning the apology to the rape and extermination of indigenous women").
Created by Tbhotch (talk). Self-nominated at 03:23, 3 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Monumento a la Raza (Neiva); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Date and close paraphrase check ok. Fair use image from Twitter is not acceptable. QPQ done. Regarding the hook and source for the last paragraph, a primary source from Facebook is not acceptable, and without this statement by the artist himself, the article is not long enough. - Maybe you can find a secondary source and write another hook, based on a better source?
