This month’s Saturday Salon will discuss the concept of Sumak Kawsay. For centuries the indigenous peoples of the Andes have been living the concept of Sumak Kawsay, which loosely translates to “good living”. In this Saturday Salon lecture, you will learn how this concept has become an Ecuadorian legacy and how it’s being applied today.
Saturday, Feb. 19 at 10:30 am. Cost is $10. To reserve your seat, contact: [email protected]
The salon will be given by Diana Moscoso of Cuenca. Diana is an environmental biologist, anthropologist, and expert in local and community development. She has worked with numerous indigenous groups in Ecuador in the Amazon, the Andes and the coastal region learning their traditions and knowledge. She is an independent consultant, a researcher and director of local co-op “Centerline”, which promotes the design and implementation of ecotecnias. Diana is also the co-founder and general coordinator of Colectivo Madre Tierra, which is a citizen collective that supports independent art and music with festivals, workshops, fairs, meaningful dialogue, and intercultural exchanges.
