Ancestral Rescue
Through design and quality education, we seek to develop skills in communities to create luxury products that reflect their entire cultural heritage. This objective aims to present the cultural framework specific to the context of the communities in question, so that it can be applied to the design of handicrafts.
The ancestral rescue workshop is divided into 5 sub-workshops:
This workshop aims to identify the community's knowledge, cultural heritage, and key stakeholders.
This workshop identifies the handicraft value chain, the stakeholders involved, and community structure for organized and efficient artisanal production. Teamwork is promoted and the community's production capacity is visualized. Weaving techniques and the use of ancestral patterns are also evaluated, along with the potential for developing new products.
Techniques and patterns that represent the community are identified, and awareness is raised about learning and recovering artisanal techniques that could be recovered and/or learned from other communities. Emphasis is also placed on the value of ancestral heritage, the value of the Wayuu culture and ancestors, and how these can be applied to artisanal work and the value of their handcrafted products.
Introduction to the concept of quality and its application to artisanal techniques, the value chain, and the finished product.
A visit to the natural environment is guided by a logbook that each person must complete to observe their habitat and its relationship with their culture, identity, and community. This material is used to build branding.
