From skaters snapped in full motion, to up-close-and-personal portraits of wrestlers, to daughters of mountain climbers adorned with ropes, helmets and ice axes – all wearing their traditional bowler hats, plaits and bright, pleated skirts – the pictures capture the pride and uniqueness of their cultural identities. Whether it’s conquering some of the highest mountains in the world on their doorsteps, or subverting youth culture through skateboarding in traditional garments – partaking in extreme sports are ways of expressing what it means to be a cholita in the modern day.
