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