Desde Winsconsin, Natalia Armakanki, con la colabracion de artistas de vaerias culturas, convoca a una actividad pro fondos de salud para la salud de los niños en Laramarca, Huancavelica.
Kachkanikuraqmi team of artists hope that you can complete the circle of reciprocity by considering to offer generous support for one of our Indigenous communities in the South Central Andes mountains, Laramarca, Peru with whom we've collaborated to create this video and where the director and dancer's Natalia Armacanqui's family are from. All collected mutual aid will go to directly to BRINGING A DOCTOR TO THE VILLAGE TO PROVIDE MEDICAL CHECK-UPS FOR CHILDREN. We are making this call to action because the colonial and capitalist systems of old and new continue to aggressively oppress this village and people through the invasion of international mining companies, the lack of any investment in functional infrastructure by a racist national government, and the poisoning and stealing of our sacred original lands. To contribute now, please click on this GoFundMe link: https://gofund.me/d9491483

“Kachkanikuraqmi” in the Quechua language means “We Continue Being” - a phrase that encapsulates the miracle of our community's continued survival and resilience as the original peoples and cultures of this continent, despite genocide, forced migration and oppression from capitalist colonialist invaders. While we are often infantilized, exotified, & stereotyped by racist others, the complexity and diversity of our Indigenous identities is not limited to being either rural or urban, traditional or multiple-cultured, spiritual or secular - regardless of our intricate differences, we continue unified and continue to BE ourselves- co-existing in creative ways that honor ancestors and mother Earth.
This video is the first of three video art collaborations which will be released in the weeks to come. With the poetry of Claudia Vaca, a descendant of the Chiquitana community of Bolivia, recited by Geraldine Paredes Vasquez of Aymara, Quechua and Guarani, and Spanish mixed descendance from Bolivia, the paintings of Richie Morales, a descendant of the Ch'orti 'community of Guatemala, and the dance of Natalia Armacanqui, a descendant of the community of Laramarca, Peru, and finally with footwork, singing and dancing of the amazing artists in Laramarca, Perú and Jaipur, India: Madeley, Gregoria Rojas, and Mekhala Devi Natavar - we have woven together our stories of survival and migration together through this artistic collaboration and hope it can inspire you to contribute to the health and well-being of our beloved community of Laramarca, Perú.
