Set in Veracruz, Mexico, Dolores' project explores the little-told story of some Afro-Mexican communities. Through photography, she questions the official narrative and raises questions about the role of women in the story of Nyanga (the mythical Gabonese prince brought to Mexico as a slave) who led the first rebellion of maroons in the country. Dolores seeks to understand the presence and experiences of black Mexican women throughout history, interweaving historical and fictional accounts with oral tradition, as well as myths and legends of the transatlantic voyages that were imposed on them.
