The latest development spotlights a naked-women solidarity swim in Lima during early 2023 amid femicide deaths.
Ana Elisa Sotelo organized an open call on Instagram inviting women to swim naked to show support for victims of gender violence.
The event occurred at Playa Agua Dulce in Lima before dawn with safety paddlers and a drone from shore.
Participants removed their swimsuits in the water, then formed a circle as a display of solidarity.
The project expanded beyond Peru to Argentina, the United States, and Barbados, broadening its reach.
Sotelo describes the work as a quiet act of resistance where words are silenced.
The photographer questions whether such calls would still attract participants if made today.
The article frames the images as part of a broader conversation on gender-based violence and public urgency.
Ana Elisa Sotelo is described as a Peruvian artist and teacher based in the United States.
The Guardian positions the work within the 'Women behind the lens' series and broader 'Global development' themes.
