Next project Viaje al Microcosmos → The context
A youth-led initiative on the Pacific coast of Guatemala that trains mariscadoras in mollusc harvesting and ecological monitoring inside Sipacate-Naranjo National Park. The project centers women whose work (gathering molluscs in the estuary) had long been overlooked by research and policy, joining Indigenous knowledge with marine science.
What we did
- A film about an Iris Prize-winning initiative, for The Iris Project
- Cinematography and stills in the field, with the community
- Field production with MakerChange (UK)
- Editing of the film
The story
Brought in by MakerChange to lead cinematography, stills and field production, we worked on the ground with the community to build a portrait of women reclaiming their role as guardians of the mangrove, and of their own future.
