Un punto de partida de MIL MUJERES fue una propuesta interactiva: artistas feministas que crean proyectos artísticos inspirados en otras historias de mujeres. Siguiendo a cuatro artistas seleccionados por una convocatoria abierta en línea: Ana Luisa Santos (Brasil), Bia Ferreira (Brasil), Florencia Duran (Uruguay) y Lena Chen (EE.
