Research, Concept, and Action
The Wayuu represent an all too common tale of a rich culture that is slowly being lost. The challenge of this group identifying itself in a modern and solipsistic world with oral history alone is impossible. The ever-changing nature of the media and quick distribution of products forces things like industry to disrupt procedure and practices that have been in place for hundreds if not thousands of years.
How is it that identity will articulate structure? How will it find a life beyond exile?
The creation of a masterplan will be along the first steps taken to think about how heritage can be maintained for an indigenous population that is bridging into new means of living.
