DescriptionThis image depicts the remodeling of the KiMo Theater at 419 Central Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Two men on orange ladders can be seen scraping paint off the wall. Both men are wearing black shirts, jeans, and white cloth face masks. Hanging from the wall above the two ladders are several large Native American symbols and fake buffalo skulls. The symbols include a swastika, a bird, and a small hill. The wall below these symbols has been stripped of paint and appears heavily damaged on its surface.
