THE FLYING CHOLITAS

"In traditional Bolivian dress, on the outskirts of El Alto, the Flying Cholitas launch themselves at each other. At first, I was fascinated by the skill of these indigenous women flying through the air, reclaiming the clothing their community was forced to wear as servants for Spanish occupiers. But then I saw it went beyond the ring. They are fighting for their rights, for recognition, for equality. They're fighting for their lives." Luisa Dörr 

This image, would also 'sit' in the POLITICAL domain, if the women would stay still; but they clearly have individual and collective purpose.
