How could mountain women tell stories through their bodies? Their stories are imprinted on their body-territories.
The fight against extractivism that destroys territories is mainly led by women in Latin America, hence my desire to create female figures that tell stories.
The witch hunt reached its peak with colonization in Latin America. The Renaissance, a period of great cognitive progress, is also the time when the disciplinarization of women's bodies is the most violent. I now question these stories, so that they are not forgotten, through female mountain figures.
