This Friday, October 29, Ignacia Cortés, PhD in literature and professor at the Universidad Católica, will present her book Movimiento Andino: danzas, cuerpos y repertorios de protesta en la ciudad (Andean Movement: Dances, Bodies, and Repertoires of Protest in the City). The event is part of the JAYMA Seed Fund project “Trenzar el viento: sonoridades y escucha en la colección etnográfica del Museo Arqueológico San Miguel de Azapa” (Braiding the Wind: Sonorities and Listening in the Ethnographic Collection of the San Miguel de Azapa Archaeological Museum), led by Andrea Chamorro, principal investigator at CMUS.

Cortés’s book offers an ethnographic look at Andean dances in the city, understanding dance not only as artistic expression but as a political repertoire in which the body becomes archive, memory, and a form of protest.
