They’re made by Argentinian artists Marianela Perelli and Pool Paolini, who’ve made 33 dolls representing figures from Islam, Judaism, Christianity and Hinduism that they’re exhibiting next month in a Buenos Aires gallery show called “Barbie, The Plastic Religion.”
“If there’s a Barbie doctor, a teacher and a police officer, why shouldn’t there be a Virgin of Lujan Barbie?” the artists said on their Facebook page.
