Weaving the Q'eswachaka Bridge: Living Inka Engineering
1 view(s)Not rated
Every June, Quechua communities on both sides of the Apurímac canyon rebuild the Q'eswachaka suspension bridge in just three days, as they have continually since Inka times. Q'oya grass is harvested, twisted into cords and braided into massive cables stretched across the gorge before the old bridge is cut away. Produced by the Smithsonian NMAI (2015) and narrated by MIT engineer John Ochsendorf, the film follows every step through to the celebration dances. The tradition has been inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list since 2013.

Important caveat: this is relayed testimony — a Westerner speaking about the Kogi, not the Kogi speaking for themselves.

It operates through the institution of the pütchipü'üi, the "palabrero": a mediator who resolves conflicts between matrilineal clans through the word and compensation, without violence. UNESCO inscribed this system on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010.

Documentaire tourné intégralement dans la province de Neuquén (Patagonie argentine), reconnu d'intérêt culturel par la Province. Il relie l'art rupestre millénaire — la grotte Epullán Grande, occupée depuis environ 10 000 ans, et le site de Colomichicó, 860 blocs gravés sur 16 hectares, sans équivalent en Amérique du Sud — aux constellations et aux récits des peuples Günün a Küna et Mapuche. Ces peintures sont de véritables archives : « ce sont nos livres », la mémoire collective inscrite dans la roche, qui se lit en miroir du ciel étoilé. Un appel à reconnaître ces cultures millénaires comme partie de l'Histoire — et à retrouver la mémoire en retournant regarder les étoiles.
