Chica Barbie
Catwalk / Reinado del Turismo, Girardot, Colombia. Chica Barbie. 10/2014. The pageants of Colombia provide a distilled environment for examining the nature of beauty and how we cope with adversity. In these scripted shows of fantasy, beauty as a commodity is stripped to its raw elements. In a country rife with conflict, the pageants are a form of both denial and defiance.
