Chuño y Mote is a multimedia project that explores the contrasts of contemporary Bolivia through body, memory, and a multifaceted gaze that intertwines female voices and eccentric visions. It is a journey through the rings of the cholitas luchadoras and the streets of La Paz — between strength and gentleness, rituals and silent revolutions.
The title refers to two symbolic elements of Andean culture: chuño, a dried and resilient potato symbolizing strength and survival, and mote, boiled and tender corn representing nourishment and tenderness.
Photography, video, and sound merge to portray a complex reality made of plural identities and everyday struggles.
