Todo sobre mi mate

About those who created the habit of drinking mate, of the peasants who harvest the mate herbs, of the industry that produces it and of the sixty million people who consume it. It is a trip through history, the present and the future of mate in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina; a view that sways from mate to the hands that put it into circulation; a crossing between the intangible-symbolic and the political-social. How does a centuries-old indigenous tradition survive in a modern and coca-cola dominated world?

Las Damas Azules

In 2012, the Peruvian government gave the green light to the Conga mining project in Cajamarca. It wasn’t the first time that mining threatened this region with its expansion projects. For over twenty years, Yanacocha—the largest open-pit gold mine in Latin America—has endangered water resources. In this context, from the heart of the Andean jalca, a women’s resistance was born. Neither attacks nor fear have managed to stop these women who, with conviction and hope, raise their voices in the fight to protect life, Pachamama, and water. Three years later, the Blue Ladies are still standing, singing for freedom.
