Synopsis

She is Aurora Chaj, singer-songwriter, the second protagonist of the short documentary series Seres de Niebla.

“Songs that somehow identify all of us women need to be made; we need to recite them, we need to listen to them.”

The Seres de Niebla series of short documentaries by the Lemow Collective is a communication project that seeks to use photography and audiovisuals (short documentaries), to portray and raise the visibility of the struggle by many Guatemalan women who, through their work spaces, are creating better living conditions for many women. Raising the visibility of the struggles of women’s leaders provides recognition of their work and contribution to building a more tolerant society.
