Synopsis

Enter the vibrant world of Maremoto, a young Mexican cartoonist who, through her drawings, empowers women and addresses the taboos of her society. In DRAW FOR CHANGE! EXISTIMOS, RESISTIMOS, an immersive and interactive VR-experience, we become part of Maremoto's ongoing search for her identity and drive through art.
Visit Maremoto's studio, join her on an afternoon of making street art and experience what it feels like to move as a woman through a metropolis in Mexico, a country where 10 women are murdered every day and tens of thousands go missing.
This VR-experience combines 360° video, animation and interactivity in an engaging and creative journey for the viewer exploring relevant, universal themes such as body positivity, sexual harassment and contemporary activism.
