Carishina
Carishina is a Kichwa- Ecuadorian word that was created after colonization. Through time the word has gained different meanings and connotations. The word is used to describe an individual who behave like men. In contemporary times, a women who breaks traditional cultural expectations and roles. We celebrate the rebels, the explorers, the free spirits. We hope to give this word a new meaning and making it a rebellious way of living and exploring. This exploratory space will allow all visitors to learn more about the world and relevant topics on culture, folklore, diversity and identity.
