Through different methodologies, these animation workshops provide tools to different vulnerable groups to express their stories from a sensitive and creative gaze. The stop motion technique manages to tell stories full of metaphors and symbols, thus transforming perspectives, dynamics and avoiding revictimization.

⇁ ecos en la piel

This short film emerged from a stop motion workshop specifically designed for women leaders from communities in the southern region of Quito. During the workshop, they discovered a common bond: the diverse array of scars, both physical and emotional, that they have accumulated. By listening to their stories and observing their experiences, the film takes viewers on a transformative journey of healing and self-acceptance.
