Description
This digitally altered artwork is derived from a photograph taken Dec 24/14 in Cuenca, Ecuador, South America nestled in the Andes Mountains.
Cholo/Chola is an ethnic slur created by Hispanic criollos in the 16th century. In sociological literature, it is one of castas, and refers to individuals with an admixture of 25% European and 75% Native American. or pure Native American ancestry, or other racially mixed origin. The precise usage of "cholo" has varied widely in different times and places. In modern American usage, it most often applies to the low-rider sub-culture manner of dress. In most of Latin America it simply means an acculturating Indian or peasant.
