Exhibitions > Warmikuna

Warmikuna - voices, faces and memories is a trilingual (Quechua-Spanish-French) research-creation/action, virtual and museographic project focusing on the memories and narratives of indigenous women in the context of political violence. Born within the framework of the doctoral thesis "Warmikunapa willakuynin (women's voices). Genre, violences et mémoires dans les récits du post-conflit armé péruvien" by Tania Romero Barrios, under the supervision of Annick Allaigre (Paris 8) and César Itier (Inalco), this project currently brings together an international, multidisciplinary team of researchers, translators, members of the human rights community and artists. It is also supported by institutions in Peru (ANFASEP, IFEA), Colombia (Centro de Pensamiento Pluralizar la Paz, Universidad de los Andes) and France (Université Paris 8, Université Paris Nanterre, Inalco, EUR ArTeC, MSH Paris Nord, Institut des Amériques, Institut Pour la Paix).

The project has three main focuses:

    ·  research-creation/action
    ·  archives and digital humanities
    ·  research-translation

And five productions

   ·  a website (photographic and audiovisual archives)
   ·  an international symposium
   ·  participatory museography workshops (embroidery and photography)
   ·  a traveling exhibition
   ·  two books

Conceived as a tool, a means and a space for valorization, this project is aimed at both academic and non-specialist audiences, and seeks to make little-seen or even unpublished data accessible, as well as to interrogate reflections on memory from a gender perspective.
