Our starting point is the idea of uywaña (in Aymara) / uyway (in Kichwa) or mutual nurturing, proposed by Elvira, an Aymara weaver from the Bolivian Andes. This is a reflection, a logic of care and maximum coexistence, according to which all bodies are intrinsically interdependent in caring and being cared for.

Soil, wool, tablecloths, sheep, weavers, we are all part of the same network of interconnected subjects that need to be cared for. For there to be weaving, there must be sheep, cotton or agave, and for these to exist, they must be fed. To do this, I must first take care of the soil. Everything we do affects the entire chain of life, from the smallest to the most obvious.

Starting from here, we will work with the school group for a year on map-making practices to locate our environment of care and interdependencies, including the cement factory, bodies of water, the forest, flocks of sheep, the soil, the city and the school. Using this as a basis, along with a series of guided workshops on textile crafts, deep listening, agroecology, critical affective cartography, free technologies and the ancestral knowledge of the Amazonian and Andean peoples, as well as knowledge shared by the group from their homes and memories, the aim is to generate tools that enable us to speak collectively.
