Who We Are
We are Quechua people, sexual and gender dissidents who co-create against structural racism, patriarchy, and for ancestral and dissident futures. We drive processes of learning, experimentation, research, and collaborative creation in visual, sound, and audiovisual arts from the central Andes of Peru.
Through our own anticolonial methodologies and new technologies, we seek to reconstruct a dissident, plural, and indigenous genealogy from our territories. Our works explore the relationships between indigenous women, music, territory, body, and resistance. The feature documentary Flor Pucarina, rebelde hasta los huesos, the VR short film Nanay, and the short film Tunanteras, among other creations, have been presented at festivals and spaces across the USA, Latin America, and Europe.
From the field of training, we drive Qawaspa Kutipay, a creative gathering for indigenous and dissident filmmakers from across Peru that reconnects with ancestral memory and territory. And through Cyber Cholita Cine Itinerante, we bring documentary cinema and new technologies to Andean communities — gathering around the fire to watch together, dialogue, and imagine ancestral and dissident futures.
We are part of Samakuy, a network of healers, activists, and trans and racialized artists that drives spaces of care and collective creation from an anticolonial and transfeminist foundation.
We place at the center our Andean cosmovision that weaves the memory of our ancestors — a web of life where all of us inhabit dignified and joyful existences.
