This is the Dutch version of the PEIXEIRAS
edited by Minerva Bloom, which I translated.

Peixeiras is a Galician term for Fisherwomen.
This challenge was posted at Peixeiras - by Artist Armando Salas,
to honor the Peixeiras from his region of Galicia in Spain.
Many artists from around the world answered his challenge.
This is the first leg of the participants.

Spanish Translation: Peixeiras es un término Galicio que en Español significa: Peceras ó mujeres vendedoras de pezcados. Este video es el resultado de un reto artístico propuesto por el Artista de Ferrol, España- Armando Salas en la comunidad internacional de: Peixeiras
Varios artistas de diferentes países han participado en esta primera etapa. La segunda etapa se publicará en un corto periodo.
Gracias por su visita!
