I am amazed by the incredible photography, art, video art and poetry that is coming from Latin America. Here, in the Best of Latin America, you are not only given an opportunity to witness the work of 10 inspiring young female Latin American artists and compare and contrast their work, but you're also able to learn, through comparison, what today's young Latin American women are thinking, feeling, obsessing about, passionate about, fighting for, and yearning for.
Come and vote for your favorites! But don't forget to tell us what these 10 stories tell you about young Latin American women!

I am so touched and impressed with the story "Mayan Women"...I don't know, but it just makes me think about many things in my place, Croatia, that is just about to become part of EU, what is great from one side, but truly frightening form the other....
it is such a shame that today "western" world making such a hard and difficult and uniforming "life -stile" rules that is actually forcing people like Rainbow Mayan Women to be shamed of their beautiful tradition that is beyond anything what the "western" "rich" world can offer.... they lived their life's even through the way how they are making and wearing their beautiful hand made clothes that is full of stories and metaphors, and today they have to be more strong then ever to keep it as a part of their identity as something what makes them to be unique, beautiful and so important part of the whole world and specially human civilization. The differences are important today more than aver before, and I hope we will not lose this beautiful things like this story is talking about.... but we also have to be aware that transporting tradition to touristic offer is something very dangerous, and it is important to keep stories and meanings to be the same for us today as they were for our grand grand parents...visiting New Zealand this spring, and spending some time within Maori art community, I just realize how strong and proud and confident they are about their tradition and values that it brings to the whole world, and I wish for all of us that can feel like just about to lose it, we just have t be strong enough to keep it in our hearts and to gave it back to our kids and save it though the time on a way we feel it today, Croatia is just about to go through that rough transition, and uniforming can be seen all around in many layers of every day...we are so fast becoming so like Austria, Italy, Germany....but at the same time we are just abandoning without any reason so many small things that make us beautiful, truthful, unique and happy, and embracing someone else identity is always the wrong process I think....I hope we will be brave enough not to give up from everything and not to sell all our beautiful stone villages to foreigners..... |

"El sostén no hace a la mujer", muestra la reflexión de una prenda tan cotidiana, que nos hace pasar de la pena de ser mostrado hasta el deseo de ser visto como arma de seducción. Buen trabajo, Brenda. |

Thank you Kathryn, I did Out of Beat, because I think that to be honest with what you are, and embrace your identity rather than trying to be someone else is very important. I try to remind myself about this every day...because a personal point of view is always unique. And of course...dancing! that always makes me happy, because that's how I move! and the body is sometimes more honest than your mind and we should listen to it always.

This is tough - MY top 3 picks are...
"OUT OF BEAT" - just delightful and one of my all-time favorites. Watch it if you haven't already!
"DISPLACEMENTS" - a visual favorite of mine
and....
"MAYAN WOMEN" |

"El sostén no hace a la mujer" logra una reflexión mientras se esboza una sonrisa cuyos motivos son desde pena hasta complicidad. Un trabajo sensible y honesto de Brenda Jiménez. |

I think "Potasa" by Giselle fiallo from D.R. is definitely the best cultural identity research which defines Dominican women´s lack of racial identity. She amazingly conveys the sensation one feels regarding our wanting to "whiten" ourselves through hair straightening products. Congratulations Giselle. Great Job!!! |
