Created in collaboration with inhabitants of the Quechua region of Chumbivilcas, it reinterprets and subverts historical and contemporary narratives related to social conflicts. Drawing from their own desires for emancipation, community members co-created an uncensored narrative that celebrates indigenous cultural practices, reconfigured as acts of resistance.
