In this Episode 5 of the season 6 of the Comusik podcast we share with the radio program Voces de los territorios directed by Irma Caupán and that brings together the voices of the “Movimiento de mujeres y diversidades indígenas por el buen vivir”, with its proposal of vindication from education with the project of Pluriversity among other activities:

We are a Movement conformed by Women and Diversities of different Nations and Indigenous Peoples, who inhabit the south of Indoamerica. We fight against the violence that has historically fallen on our bodies-territories.
For a long time we have been weaving proposals that seek to confront colonialism, patriarchy, racism, and Terricide.
We fight for all life, human and non-human, and for the forces of nature from the spiritual ecosystem.

Walking towards Good Living

What is the problem?

State education is a product of colonization and is part of the imposition on indigenous peoples that subjected us to a racist, sexist and exclusionary model of education. This education was never in accordance with our realities or respectful of our Cosmovisions. Indigenous women and diversity make up the most oppressed social sector, with high rates of illiteracy, malnutrition, unemployment and poverty. In addition to this, there are multiple forms of violence against us in the health, educational, religious, institutional and judicial systems. This situation is aggravated by a social construction from a patriarchal, colonial, racist and sexist pyramidal perspective, endorsed by the State itself, which among other things is evidenced by the small number of indigenous women who manage to obtain a tertiary or university education or even complete high school.

Education for us…
We want education to be expansive, an evolutionary development of the being through ritualistic practices where the spiritual essence is addressed as the central axis of life and where we recognize ourselves from the earth as the biological basis of our knowledge and existence. We know that our human construction is linked to the environment and compose it. Therefore to manage a playful, spiritual space is basically to make possible our cultural transmission observing the qualities in the individualities and community collectives, taking into account the characteristics of the peoples nations, allowing the spatial cultural manifestation as the foundation of cultural interactions, reciprocity and tolerance that we need to sustain life.
