"Originarias" is a UN Women program for indigenous women from all over Chile. It seeks to support their entrepreneurship and value their legacy, providing tools and training for the development of their projects. For this assignment I had to photograph 51 women of all ages and backgrounds, defying geography and distance, and learning from each of them what it means to be who they are.
