More than 55,000 pieces of indigenous sculptures and other art pieces made of gold are on display en El Museo de Oro in Bogota, Colombia. These pieces not only survived the test of time but centuries of genocide and oppression. Persist pays homage to an artwork from the museum. Our ancestral art isn’t the only thing that survives the odds. Our existence is a testament to our ancestor’s resilience as they continue to live and thrive inside of us.
