The Flying Cholitas are a group of female wrestlers in Bolivia. Here, Elizabeth La Roba Corazones and Alicia De Las Flores fight at a ring on the outskirts of El Alto. Brazilian photographer Luisa Dörr says: ‘At first, I was fascinated by the skill of these Indigenous women, but then I saw it went beyond the ring. They are fighting for their rights, for recognition, for equality. To put a meal on the table for their kids. They’re fighting for their lives’

THEY ARE SKATEBOARDING REVOLUTIONARIES—IN TRADITIONAL DRESS

“These girls are a symbol for Bolivian people,” said photographer Luisa Dörr. “A resistance, an inspiration for girls of any other country.” Last year, Luisa spent two weeks documenting the young women of ImillaSkate, a group of Bolivian skateboarders who wear the traditional polleras, outfits of Indigenous Aymara and Quechua women.
