Paloma and Leila: A Tale of Twin Triumph
In the academic world, Paloma and Leila worked under the mentorship of Professor Subhankar Banerjee on a project involving biodiversity justice and visual culture through the UNM Center for Environmental Arts and Humanities (CEAH). Paloma and Leila were attentive, sincere and rigorously engaged when they attended Banerjee’s spring 2023 class, he wrote.
The pair’s project – a suite of postcards exploring the relationship between human and nonhuman life – will be included in a 2026 book and exhibition called “Coexistence: Biodiversity in New Mexico,” co-produced by CEAH and the Albuquerque Museum, Banerjee wrote.”
