DescriptionThis image depicts the remodeling of the KiMo Theater at 419 Central Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A tall metal scaffolding can be seen on the right wall of the main theater. A single man in an orange shirt, jeans, and a white cloth face mask stands at the top of the scaffold. Above the scaffolding, hanging from the wall, are several large Native American symbols and fake buffalo skulls. The symbols include a swastika and a bird. The wall below these symbols has been stripped of paint and appears heavily damaged on its surface.
