Bronze does not exist naturally, it is a metal that is achieved by the combination of copper and tin. That's how we are. An alloy of two or many metals. We are hybrid beings. Our blood carries many combinations, which over the years have formed our historically colonized being. "The Breed of Bronze" is a term coined by Alcides Arguedas, a Bolivian writer who speaks of Bolivia as a sick village. In his writings there are many statements with which I do not agree, but his phrase, "sick village" resonates with me. This photographic essay is about my country, thinking about how we have not been able to overcome the colony, and decolonize the extractive practices with which many slaves died when extracting gold from our mountains, to take it to Spain during the colony. The spaces in our territory are marked and taken, as well as our bodies.

El bronce no existe de forma natural, es un metal que se consigue por la combinación del cobre y el estaño. Así es como somos. Una aleación de dos o muchos metales. Somos seres híbridos. Nuestra sangre lleva muchas combinaciones, que a lo largo de los años han formado nuestro ser históricamente colonizado. "La Raza de Bronce" es un término acuñado por Alcides Arguedas, un escritor boliviano que habla de Bolivia como un pueblo enfermo. En sus escritos hay muchas afirmaciones con las que no estoy de acuerdo, pero me resuena su frase, “pueblo enfermo”. Este ensayo fotográfico trata sobre mi país, pensando en cómo no hemos podido superar la colonia, y descolonizar las prácticas extractivas con las que murieron muchos esclavos al extraer oro de nuestras montañas, para llevarlo a España durante la colonia. Los espacios de nuestro territorio están marcados y tomados, así como nuestros cuerpos.
