It aims to contribute to existing research on women’s entrepreneurship, especially on small family enterprises connected with music and fashion. An important strand of this research is the cooperation between me as an academic researcher, the cholita artist-entrepreneurs, and the visual artist Antti Nordin, resulting in a documentary film.
