Alianza Wichí (Argentina) will use the Grant to develop Tejiendo Territorios de Memoria [Weaving Territories of Memory], a collaborative and intergenerational art initiative carried out with the collective of women weavers Silät in northern Argentina. Understanding weaving as both an artistic and political gesture that preserves memory and sustains identity, the project seeks to strengthen the transmission of traditional weaving knowledge and create spaces for exchange among women from different Indigenous communities of the Gran Chaco region. Community workshops will be led by Wichí artist Claudia Alarcón, accompanied by bilingual audiovisual documentation that will record the stories, learnings, and shared strategies of cultural resistance.

Alianza Wichí is an intercultural organization that has been working for four years alongside Indigenous communities of the Gran Chaco. In the cultural sphere, it has promoted community-based work and the transmission of textile knowledge through the Silät collective, under the leadership of Wichí artist and community leader Claudia Alarcón. This collective brings together around one hundred women weavers from different generations within the communities of La Puntana and Alto La Sierra, who primarily work with chaguar fiber. Currently, they focus both on fostering dialogue with the contemporary art system and on developing local cultural projects.
