El distrito de Rímac de Lima, la capital de Perú, alberga una de las mayores poblaciones de migrantes rurales peruanos, y esta repentina expansión migratoria ha creado un auge económico impresionante en distritos que antes eran poco más que refugios improvisados.
Elías, experto en bordados “Maquinask’a”, emigró con su familia desde la provincia de Junín a Lima en 2012 en busca de un mejor futuro. Hoy, su principal fuente de ingresos es el bordado tradicional, e incluso su taller de bordados lleva el nombre de sus hijos, Daniel y Miguel.
